With voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) technology, however, small businesses now have a cost-effective, feature-rich alternative.
Abstract: During the course of product evaluations for a customer, the Technology Evaluation Center has uncovered a potential security hole in SAP R/3's three-tier architecture. SAP has revealed that they expect the database or third party products to handle security between the application server and the database server.
