How Quick Consols Gets You Accurate Results Fast
Consider the fact that according to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) up to 88% of charter planes that fallout of the sky are caused by human error. That number only drops to 50% when looking at commercial airliners.
Of course airplanes that stop flying, especially mid flight, tend to create a fair amount of noise (pun intended) because the impact on us is graphic and devastating on a human level. But what about all the other professionals out there including the accounting profession? The financial reporting requirements out there now are as complicated as the cockpit of an Airbus A380.
3 Reasons Finance Departments Are Still Struggling with Overtime
While most companies excel at tracking their financial performance through clear metrics like profit and loss, they overlook measuring how employees spend their time. In many finance departments, particularly in larger companies, time is only ever considered during month-end closings and audit deadlines.
In our experience with every finance department across companies that Quick Consols has served, there's a consistent pattern of overtime during month-end reporting cycles. But why? Month-ends haven’t changed in the last 30 years. Interestingly, the process of data collation for management or shareholders hasn’t changed either.

Implementing Automated Secrets Detection for Application Security
Dev & Ops teams from large organizations use thousands of secrets like API keys and other credentials in order to interconnect these components together. As a result, they now have access to more sensitive information than companies can keep track of.
The risk is that these secrets are now spreading everywhere. We call “secrets sprawl” the unwanted distribution of secrets in all the systems developers use. Secrets sprawl is even more difficult to control with growing development teams, sometimes spread over multiple geographies. Not even taking into consideration that developers are under hard pressure due to a growing number of technologies to master and shortened release cycles.
In this whitepaper, GitGuardian looks at the implications of secrets sprawl, and presents solutions for Application Security to further secure the SDLC by implementing automated secrets detection in their DevOps pipeline.

How to Buy a PIM
Deciding to buy a PIM is a step in the right direction for any business focused on eCommerce. Your Product Information Management system is the key to making your business more scalable, efficient, and sustainable. In a competitive arena where customer expectations seem to change day by day, ensuring your company can remain responsive to demand will help you outsmart and outsell your competition. PIM creates a streamlined process for managing the product information you need to sell your products through your various distribution channels. However, it also helps across all stages of the supply chain, including manufacturing, distributing and, of course, selling.
When you buy a PIM system, you have a software tool designed to simplify and automate the import, management, enrichment, and publication of detailed product information so you can easily expand your product lines, as well as the markets you choose to sell those lines.
