Cracked Down on Network Access to Prevent Losses

Situation:

Independent consultants in various Autodesk divisions were given access to internal development sites to get the latest build of the software—this would allow them to develop courseware, tutorials, manuals, and training programs based on existing software features and functionalities. This same site gave consultants the ability to order training materials, manuals, and other logo merchandise. Because each division within the company operates independently, there was not one standardized protocol for initializing, monitoring, and disabling independent consultant access. There was a security weakness in the IT processes that allowed both past and present consultants to access considerable proprietary information, and even the ability to order without authorization materials that the company would normally charge for. Some of the consultants were not being “managed” properly by the groups employing them—even if their work assignment had ended or did not require network access, they still had access rights.

Action Plan:

· Notified IT department via several emails of the discovery of this security weakness and requested assistance in identifying whose responsibility it was to correct this problem.

· Persisted with IT and finally found someone who recognized the problem but who could not identify a single point of contact responsible for correction.

· Elevated the issue and was backed by the worldwide operational VP who sent a notice to staffers about the crackdown on consultant access—this notice set management teams into action to clean up protocols.

· Conducted a comprehensive study and compiled a report showing total number of individuals (including former consultants) with access to intellectual property as well as unauthorized items ordered in excess of $20,000.

· Drafted communication to the IT department to designate a responsible party for closing this security gap and develop a tighter management and protocol process.

· Compiled a situational analysis report for the VP of operations, complete with a matrix of the company’s loss and potential ongoing losses.

· Received full support from VP of Operations worldwide, who sent out an internal communication to alert the company’s offices worldwide to this problem; he designated a point of contact to close the access.

· Drafted and sent a communication to all consultants highlighting new protocol and processes in obtaining software necessary to complete their projects.

· Presented the process change to 200 program managers at the annual Autodesk University event in support of the previous correspondence sent out.

Results:

The new process was fully communicated and put into practice. The company was no longer at risk for intellectual property being stolen, and the “doorway” to ordering tens of thousands of dollars of free merchandise was closed to prevent further loss. Was given the Presidents award with special bonus recognition for correcting an issue outside of my area. This award is only awarded to the top 10 percent of employees worldwide for extraordinary service.

D rove Revenues and Cut Costs with First Web - Based Testing Infrastructure

Situation:

Autodesk is a $952 million international provider of digital design and content. As the Autodesk product line for mechanical and architectural engineers became more and more technically complex, it became a challenge to ensure that all users had a streamlined tool to test competency. The traditional method of ensuring competency was instructor-led classroom training, curriculum development, trained instructors who attended “train the trainer” programs, and traveling training computer labs—this process was extremely costly. It became evident that end-users needed a streamlined process for ensuring competency to eliminate the costs involved in hiring employees with less than adequate skills.

Action Plan:

· Developed a projection for how many programs and partners could benefit from having online testing to provide a motivation for management to streamline the competency testing process.

· Prepared a cost comparison for traditional training methods vs. the cost of a Web-based program. Developed a proposal with situational analysis, cost savings, and timeline for executive staff review and approval.

· Conducted research into potential vendors for Web-based exam hosting service to ensure exam content was posted with full integrity and testing occurred to ensure a smooth exam process. Identified more than 200 hosting companies nationwide.

· Prepared an RFP and sent it out to 100 top vendors nationwide. Prepared a checklist of Autodesk’s corporate priorities and vendor strengths and weaknesses. In addition, evaluated area of flexibility in order to find a vendor that could grow with Autodesk. The vendor ultimately selected is still in place today.

· Identified exam development consultant pool by hand-selecting known top-performing instructors and curriculum developers. Drafted and distributed exam development expectations and protocols.

· Established alpha/beta teams to test exams prior to going live. Hired specialists for specific products that could not only test the technical user interface, but could review the content in its entirety to ensure accuracy.

· Prepared and presented internal and external communication and education on exams, outlining exam benefits and uses for the end users.

· Built a strong technical, communication, business partner, and reporting infrastructure servicing six different internal clients.

· Fully educated Autodesk personnel on best practices for testing and certification within the IT industry.

· Consolidated legacy paper-based exams from previous company acquisitions and business partnerships, ensuring that customers and business were presented with a consistent message on Autodesk exams.

Results:

Exceeded the first-year goal in terms of number of exams developed and deployed by 400 percent. Phase I of exam development and deployment was early and efficient—it allowed for additional exams to be developed and deployed via the Web. The vendor selection, infrastructure development, and internal communication was so successful that it allowed more time to develop additional exams, including the first European exam content for deployment on an international hosting service. The Web-based exam development dramatically lowered operating costs for the sales channel, partner programs, and end users. As the program evolved, it also added a source of revenue as part of the Autodesk Professional Services organization. Today the Web-based testing and certification program is going strong and has provided a solid revenue source for the company and business has grown in servicing various countries and is localized into several languages
