Challenges for the ICM and manufacturing industry

Digital transformation

Global competition requires lean processes and cost-efficiency from the manufacturing industry. Automation is key. To that end, manufacturers are now turning towards new technologies: for example, the new generation of machine-to-machine (M2M) systems, mobile applications, IoT, and cloud-based services. Software is being implemented across the board. Along with process automation, it is used to manage supply chains and facilitate research and development. However, all these critical systems also have to be protected.

The data breach bogeyman

The digitalization of processes and products has made manufacturing companies vulnerable to various threats. A cyber-attack can lead to data loss and system failures within a company, which can ultimately delay production speed. Far worse is when customer data is compromised. A data breach could have catastrophic consequences: loss of trust, recalls, heads will roll.

If companies aren’t quick enough to introduce new offers to the market, they are at a serious disadvantage. If they give into time pressure at the expense of security, they risk damaging their reputations.

Manufacturing company portals are demanding

Manufacturing company portals are a challenge for developers: they have to accommodate the demands of a number of different groups (customers, distribution partners, suppliers, employees, etc.) into one coherent security infrastructure.

On top of that is the fact that manufacturing companies place high demands on security to, for example, prevent industry espionage. Nevertheless, access to the portal still has to remain as simple as possible.

What customers expect

Easier access and security

The majority of customers are operating online. As a result, the customer journey demands for online-business are increasing. Because customers now expect the same level of ease and convenience in their business dealings as they get from their private communication channels. Therefore, manufacturing companies depend on easy-to-use and secure B2B portals. Sacrificing user-friendliness for security, or vice versa is not an option.

Customers expect the same level of convenience and maximum security regardless of what end device they’re using to access the manufacturing company’s portal. Products with integrated software should also be secure. Customers expect their devices to be protected against unauthorized access, to be easy and safe to operate and to install software updates seamlessly. If this convenience is missing, customers will soon go elsewhere.
