Alkonost

Image © Eugenia Vi, accessed at her ArtStation here

[After a whole bunch of reruns of CR 12 magical beasts, here's a brand new one! This is, in fact, the first in a miscellaneous world folklore set, one inspired in large part by my girlfriend, @abominationimperatrix. The alkonost is a monster I was first introduced to in a wild way, in The Magic Voyage of Sinbad, a Roger Corman produced dub of the Soviet epic Sadko that appeared on Mystery Science Theater 3000. And so learning that it wasn't originally "the bluebird of happiness", and had its own tradition behind it, took a while. This art is my favorite because it incorporates the monster's origin. "Alkonost" is a Cyrillic adaptation of "Alcyone", the woman turned into the first kingfisher in Greek mythology. One of the few remaining tidbits of that story actually gets inverted in the Slavic version; instead of laying their eggs when the storms of winter are unnaturally calm, they lay straight into stormy water! So I had to incorporate that into my version, and wanted to make an alkonost in kingfisher colors.]

Alkonost CR 12 CG Magical Beast This creature has the body of a bird, with ochre and blue feathers, and the head of a human woman. Both aspects are beautiful. She has an expression of serene grace on her features.

An alkonost is sometimes called a bird of happiness or a bird of paradise. They are goodly kin to the sirens, and use their magical music only in defense or to aid others. They are incorrigible optimists that see the beauty in everything and are certain that good will ultimately prevail over evil. They are by no means naive, but assume good intentions until demonstrated otherwise. Alkonosts may deliver messages of hope and joy for goodly gods or nature spirits, and they are sometimes mistaken for angels. An alkonost is a purely mortal creature, albeit one with a lifespan measurable in hundreds of years.

It is rare that an alkonost starts a fight, but they can certainly end them. The song of bliss sung by an alkonost fills those that hear it with an overwhelming euphoria and saps them of their will to fight. Anyone who resists this effect will be targeted with the alkonost’s other magic, at first to try to convince them to lay down their arms. The talons of an alkonost are relatively weak, but the birds can create magical gusts of bludgeoning wind to fight creatures that resist their compulsions. If accompanied by allies (charmed or otherwise), alkonosts fill a support role, using bardic magic to bolster their strength.

Alkonosts tend to live on islands, tropical mountaintops and other remote locations. This is partly because they value sites of natural beauty and partly because they value solitude. The song of bliss is so beautiful that it can induce feelings of worship and dependence in those who hear it, and the goodly birds do not particularly want to have armies of devoted thralls. If their homes or persons are threatened particularly dangerous monsters, they may use diplomacy and enchantment to recruit other creatures to assist them. In these cases, alkonosts go their separate ways when their goals are accomplished.

Most alkonosts are female, but males and members of other genders do exist. Alkonosts are poor parents, but make up for it with their magical abilities; an alkonost mother lays her egg in stormy seas, whereupon it is incubated by the rocking waves and blowing winds. When it washes up on a shore, the egg hatches into a Tiny alkonost with a fully mature mind, which goes about finding itself a territory and learning new things to find wonder in. Alkonosts feed on fresh fruit and nectar as well as fish and insects; one of the ways to curry an alkonost’s favor is with finely cooked foods (since cooking without hands is very difficult).

Special Abilities Air Blast (Su) As a standard action, an alkonost can fire a gust of powerful wind, acting as a ranged attack with a range of 60 feet. A creature struck takes 6d6 points of bludgeoning damage plus the alkonost’s Constitution modifier (6d6+5 for an average specimen), and must succeed a DC 22 Reflex save or be pushed 10 feet away from the alkonost. The alkonost can use this ability at will. The save is Constitution based. Bardic Performance (Su/Sp) An alkonost can use bardic performance as if she were a 14th level bard. She does not get other bard class abilities unless she takes levels in the bard class. Resplendent Feathers (Su) An alkonost gains a deflection bonus to its Armor Class and CMD equal to its Charisma modifier. Song of Bliss (Su) An alkonost can sing a supernaturally soothing song as a standard action, affecting all creatures in a 60 foot radius. Creatures in the area that can hear the alkonost’s song must succeed a DC 24 Will save or be effected as by a euphoric tranquility spell that lasts for as long as the alkonost concentrates on the song and the creature can hear the song, and for 1 minute thereafter. Creatures that succeed their save are immune to the song of bliss of that alkonost for the next 24 hours. This is a mind-influencing, compulsion and emotion effect, and the save DC is Charisma based.

Alternate Series Finale - Protective Lillian AU

When Lex takes Lena, he's quick to lock the anti-magic device around her wrist. Lena immediately feels the effect-- a weight on her chest, her energy sapping away. But she pushes through it, refusing to let her brother see any weakness. Thus contained, he's confident enough to thrust her into the chamber where he's stowed Esme without further restraint.

"Lena!"

Esme flies into Lena's arms the moment she lays eyes on her aunt. Lena bundles her close, carrying her to sit on the bed as Esme sobs. She soothes her, closing her eyes against the drain of the device on her wrist.

"It's okay," she promises. "I won't let anything happen."

In that moment, Esme's relief is so great, and she feels so loved, that the love totem transfers to Lena. Neither of them notice the change, until Lex comes to check on it, and finds the totem is no longer on the back of Esme's neck. He quickly puts the pieces together.

"You will always fall into the light," he echoes, smirking at his sister.

When it comes time to make the trade for the allstone, Lex does bind Lena's hands, lest she try anything foolish. Regardless, Lena still hoists Esme into her arms, whispering for the girl to hold onto her, and not let go.

At the rendezvous point, Lena stands with Lex and Nyxly, watching the rest of the team gather at the far end of the bridge.

"Release them," Kara orders, her voice stern and fierce as Supergirl.

Lex smirks. "You can have the girl," he allows. "As a show of good faith."

He nods at Lena, who regards him for a long moment before deciding that chances were good he'll honor his word. After all, Esme is no longer of any value to him, now that the totem has chosen Lena.

Lena crouches, setting Esme on her feet. "Go on, sweetheart. Your moms will keep you safe."

"What about you?" Esme asks, her chin wobbling.

Lena gives a reassuring smile. "I'll be okay. I promise."

She presses a kiss to Esme's head, before giving her a gentle push towards the center of the bridge where Alex and Kelly wait. Esme walks hesitantly towards them, then sprints the rest of the way until she's swept up in Kelly's arms and shuffled to the back of the group, out of the line of fire.

"Now the allstone."

"Lena first," Kara demands.

"I don't think so." Lex lifts a small remote in his hand, and clicks a button. In an instant, electric fire arcs through Lena's body, making her scream as she falls to her knees. When it passes, Lena is left gasping, and nearly rolling her eyes.

Of course the device on her wrist would serve a dual purpose.

"The allstone," Lex repeats.

"Supergirl, don't--" Lena's plea comes too late.

Kara reluctantly opens her fist, and the moment it comes into view it flies through the air to settle into Nyxly's palm. She and Lex share a mutual grin of triumph. With a twist of Lex's watch, a portal opens behind them.

When Lex hauls Lena back to her feet, Kara cries out. "You have what you want! Let her go!"

"And let you have her?" Lex tsks. "You should know me better than that, Supergirl."

With that, Lex and Nyxly step back through the portal, dragging Lena with them. The last thing Kara sees before the portal winks out is the fear in Lena's eyes.

----

They shove Lena back in the same room as before, but this time, without Esme to put on a brave face for, Lena falls into the bed, exhausted. With her magic dampened, part of her life force is no longer accessible, and she declines quickly.

By the time Lillian comes to speak with her, she finds Lena feverish and pallid, her sallow skin slicked with clammy sweat. Her eyes barely flicker open when Lillian cups her cheek, smoothing the damp hair from her face.

Lillian is livid. She takes Lex to task when he comes in to visit, but he remains unfazed. "You should know better than anyone how dangerous magic can be," he says. "Isn't that why you hid all those talismans around the house?"

"She's your sister," Lillian reminds her son.

He shrugs. "And my murderer, remember."

When he leaves, Lillian remains. Because what Lex doesn't know is that his mother has pilfered Lena's signal watch. Gazing at her daughter for a long moment, she makes her decision.

She activates the signal.

WIP Wednesday: Custos Custodium

This week marks an exciting new direction for the story, and indeed the series: after Jensen succumbed to the Orchid, our focus shifts to Daniel "Smiley" Fletcher. Will he rise to the occasion and win the battles Jensen could not? Will he get the girl, and/or realize she's an enemy plant? Will he absolutely serve in his new suit? All this and more awaits you here, dear reader.

Nah, Jensen's mostly fine, and now he has a whole installation to investigate. Too bad his pilot's a traitor--if only he knew another one...

It was the cold that woke him. A score of icy daggers pierced his chest and back, sapping his strength but unpleasant enough to rouse his mind. He prised his gummy eyelids open and blinked. His eye sockets ached. So did everything else.

With a stifled groan, Jensen lifted his head and looked around. Walls of rock and ice surrounded him where he lay in a narrow gulch carpeted in snow. A security ladder, its stringers collapsed together, rose in black and yellow stripes up one wall; a normal ladder led to a platform on the other amidst silos and compressed-gas cylinders. He was half-buried at the bottom of a mound of—he grimaced as he realized—corpses, frozen stiff where they’d been dumped. Dumped? Yes, definitely dumped. They were all lined up roughly parallel to the higher, currently inaccessible platform. Probably tossed by a pair of the Gold Masks, one by one. At least they’d insulated him a little.

Artificial joints aching in an unfamiliar way, he gathered himself and tried to stand, but he only managed to drag himself a foot or so out from the pile, into the fresh snow. His energy display read flat and dismal crimson: all out. He’d probably burned it all running his heaters. Fortunately, he had that pair of biocells. With fingers even more nerveless than usual, he fumbled one out and plugged it in. The rush of power let him plug in the other one and stand clumsily, the cold ache at his shoulders and phantom knees already beginning to ease.

The ladder was clearly the best route out. He knew the model: when activated, the stringers would separate, the rungs locking into place between them, and his remote-hacking suite should be able to reach the controls at the top. But when he tried it, his software threw an array of errors. He wondered whether the Orchid was still wreaking havoc on his body. He wondered how he’d survived. Chalk up another one for the good old Sentinel, presumably.

He clawed his way up the regular ladder to the platform by the silos. None of the controls there seemed helpful, or even active, but he laboriously scrambled across some of the pipes that bridged the gulch until he could hook his fingertips on the edge of the higher platform and pull himself up. Thankfully, he found a door, a red-bordered employee access like the other. He hacked it with care, awkwardly positioned to one side, but no one burst through and stabbed him this time. It let into a hallway lined with lockers, several hanging open to display cold-weather gear.

Jensen slumped against the wall as the door closed, relieved to be out of the cold and wind, and checked himself over. The injector was still stuck in his leg. He pulled it out, fiddled with it until the needle retracted, and pocketed it for possible later study. His limbs responded to his commands, as did his shades, but the remote hack system still fuzzed with errors. His blades stuttered and jerked as they emerged. The Tesla readied itself happily enough, but its targeting laser was on the fritz. The dart launcher, on the other hand, seemed wholly unaffected, but he wouldn’t rely on it without some practice under his belt.

Munching on an energy bar and watching his energy readout, he thought his bioconverter was acting sluggish, too. But smart vision worked fine, and once he had the energy to venture a cloak, it coöperated. His attempted Icarus dash was a feeble letdown, though. He hoped the aug would keep him from splattering himself if he fell.

They’d left him his weapons and grenades: the Destrier in its shoulder holster, the Sanction mag-locked to his lower back, the tranq rifle in its own bespoke holster and pockets. He hadn’t bothered with the Zap, thinking it superfluous to the Tesla—a choice he regretted, now. His ammo seemed untouched. His vest had held up to Marchenko’s sucker-punch, the aramid taking a few percent off its power before it rattled his ceramic plates against his ribs. He supposed he should be glad Marchenko had used the arm that was mostly flesh.

He bowed his head and struggled to dredge clarity from the mélange of images he hadn’t processed as he choked on his tongue and tried to scream his lungs out of his own chest. Someone had carried him through bare metal corridors. Shouldn’t there be more blood? Rucker was covered in it, he remembered hearing in a distorted voice. Perhaps one of the Gold Masks.

Rucker had more meat in him than this one. Maybe that’s the difference. That had been Marchenko, he thought, the voice close enough he’d probably been over the giant’s shoulder. Broken, like that drone in Útulek. It had been hard to focus.

But you’re sure he’ll die?

The Orchid has no mercy. His end will come. It will be slow. And it will be painful. Just time enough for a man to think on his sins.

Then his heart had stopped. The Sentinel had whined and kicked it back into shuddering motion, its sound drowned out by the conversation. Things had gotten even hazier at that point, though.

… the facility is compromised. We should…

… warned that this one was coming. We have time…

… friends from ARC?

The appeasers, Rucker’s clique? Those fools have… with the Orchid. Dump the bodies with this one. He’d hit the deck, hard, head bouncing limp from metal plates, stunned on top of the whiteout agony into missing most of what followed.

He’d squinted against the pain, behind his lenses, and focused enough to hear … stay here and proceed as planned?

Yes, Brown confirmed everything with Picus last night. Date and time.

Then heavy footsteps clomping away, while he’d slid on his back, flickering in and out of consciousness. He’d woken up a bit when the cold air hit, and a distorted voice had said, End of the line for you, friend. Then he’d flown, and fallen, and it had been lights out for real.

Blood bark

9/14

Limited food resources in the remote location of Greenview Pass necessitate careful planning and preparation. With infrequent access in and out of the area, I make sure to stock up on supplies prior to my arrival. Unfortunately, I consumed the last of my provisions three days ago, prompting me to venture into the forest in search of natural sustenance. Despite my initial hesitations, I was able to catch a squirrel and several rabbits for food.

During my attempts to start a fire for cooking, I made an unexpected discovery while gathering wood. Upon cutting into a nearby tree, I encountered a peculiar red liquid that quickly corroded my axe. Although I initially found the resemblance to blood disconcerting, I theorize that this substance is a unique form of tree sap with unusual chemical properties. Its ability to rapidly degrade metal and its atypical viscosity intrigue me.

9/16

The bark samples I collected appear to ignite with great ease, which raises potential concerns regarding their chemical composition. After using this material to cook food, I have experienced some physical discomfort and am feeling unwell. It is essential to investigate the properties of this substance further to determine any potential health risks associated with its use.

9/24

I have been experiencing internal bleeding for the past few days, which is concerning. I suspect that the issue may be related to the preparation of the meat I consumed, rather than the quality of the meat itself. In retrospect, using my "blood bark" as fire fuel may not have been the best decision.

Cloud-based ERP and Business- Right Time to Migrate is Now

Many businesses rely on SAP Business One (SAP B1) to optimize their workflows and increase operational efficiency. However, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) with diverse business models require more advanced solutions to stay competitive in today’s fast-paced environment. Cloud technology can address this need, and the SAP Business One Cloud solution offers numerous benefits, giving businesses an edge over competitors.

In this article, we will explore the importance of cloud-based SAP Business One and key factors to consider before migrating your existing SAP B1 to the cloud. Let's begin by understanding the concept of cloud-based ERP.

Importance of Moving On-Premise SAP B1 to the Cloud

A cloud-powered ERP solution differs from an on-premise one in that it doesn’t require any hardware or software installation. As a managed cloud solution, it provides seamless access from anywhere, anytime, as long as there is an internet connection. SAP Business One Cloud is an example of such a cloud ERP solution.

In today’s environment, where digital transformation is key to success, transitioning to a cloud-based solution is a strategic decision for businesses. Migrating your on-premise SAP B1 to the cloud offers benefits such as scalability, agility, and flexibility, all at a lower cost.

For many SMBs and startups, this cloud-based solution helps reduce costs and enhances productivity through the power of cloud technology. However, it's essential to consider several factors during SAP Business One Cloud migration to fully leverage these benefits. Let’s look at these factors before outlining the step-by-step guide for migrating your SAP B1 system to the cloud.

Key Considerations Before Migrating to SAP Business One Cloud

SAP Business One Cloud can provide significant advantages for forward-looking SMEs. However, migrating your existing SAP B1 to the cloud is a complex process with many factors to consider. When deciding to migrate to SAP Business One Cloud, keep the following factors in mind:

1. Cost of Ownership

This is one of the most crucial factors, whether you're deploying SAP B1 to the cloud or migrating your current ERP. Cloud-based SAP Business One requires monthly subscription fees for access to licenses. However, this cost is much lower than that of on-premise solutions, which demand expensive in-house infrastructure and continuous maintenance.

2. Implementation Time

Implementing an on-premise SAP Business One ERP can take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Many small and mid-sized businesses find this process cumbersome and time-consuming. Cloud migration is generally quicker and more efficient. A trusted managed cloud services provider can handle the migration process with minimal disruption and in less time.

3. Collaboration and Accessibility

With remote or hybrid working becoming the norm post-pandemic, it’s essential to ensure the cloud-based ERP is easily accessible for remote teams. The SAP B1 Cloud should be available to users anywhere, via the internet. Additionally, it should support seamless collaboration between different teams, no matter their location.

4. Reliability of Provider

The reliability of your cloud service provider is a critical factor. Many cloud providers offer cloud migration services, but it’s vital to choose a trusted and reputable one. Understand the terms of maintenance, upgrades, and technical support to ensure minimal disruptions during your SAP B1 migration to the cloud.

Step-by-Step Guide to Migrate Your Existing SAP B1 to the Cloud

SAP Business One Cloud is a popular solution for small and mid-sized businesses. Regardless of the industry, businesses can benefit from a cloud-based ERP solution by migrating their on-premise SAP B1. Here’s a step-by-step guide to completing the migration process effectively:

Step 1: Assess Existing Environment

Before initiating the migration, it’s crucial to evaluate your current setup and business needs. Examine dependencies, customizations, goals, and integrations with the help of a cloud service provider. This will help you identify potential challenges and ensure a smooth transition from on-premise to the cloud.

Step 2: Choose the Right Plan

Managed cloud providers offer various plans to meet different business needs. You’ll need to select a plan that aligns with your company’s size, goals, and performance requirements. Consider factors such as data storage, scalability, and processing power when choosing a package.

Step 3: Backup and Data Storage

During the migration process, protecting corporate data is vital. Make sure to back up your on-premise SAP B1 data to prevent any data loss or corruption during the migration. Using advanced migration tools can help ensure a seamless transfer and minimize downtime while maintaining data integrity.

Step 4: Application and Database Migration

The next step is migrating your SAP Business One application and databases to the cloud server. A technical team from your cloud service provider can assist in ensuring a secure and efficient migration. Once the transfer is complete, validate the functionality of your SAP B1 application in the new cloud environment.

Step 5: Integration and Performance Testing

Thoroughly test all integrations with other business applications and processes to ensure seamless connectivity in the cloud-driven environment. Extensive testing will help identify and resolve compatibility issues, ensuring uninterrupted workflows and synchronized data.

Step 6: User Training and Adoption

Prepare your team for the transition by providing comprehensive training on the new cloud-based environment. This will help users familiarize themselves with the enhanced features, accessibility, and collaboration tools available in the cloud.

Step 7: Go Live and Monitoring

Coordinate with your cloud provider’s support team to finalize the process and go live. Implement robust monitoring tools to track system performance, identify issues, and ensure the continued optimization of your SAP Business One application in the cloud.

By following these steps, you can ensure that your migration process is successful, allowing your business to unlock the full potential of a cloud-based SAP B1 solution.

Conclusion

Migrating your existing SAP Business One on-premise solution to the cloud can be a complex process, but with the right strategy and approach, it can bring substantial benefits to your business. By following the step-by-step guide and considering key factors during the migration, you can ensure a smooth transition and a successful cloud implementation. The right cloud partner will help you minimize downtime and safeguard your data, unlocking new possibilities with SAP B1 Cloud.

2024-08-25: Hex 25 (Shrubland)

Stiff branches groan in protest against the wind; the occasional strong gusts breaking smaller branches off and exposing their sweet sap to the air. Most noticeable, however is the smell of oil from the oil field, and the creosote on the telegraph poles running through the hex.

Notable Feature: Resource (Oil Field)

A large black patch of land in this hex indicates a shallow oil deposit that is flowing up to the surface. Oil barons have already surveyed the site and decided that it wasn't productive enough to warrant the installation of an oil derrick. However, the area still produces a small amount of crude oil on its own each day.

Using a barrel and a coarse filter to remove impurities, the field can fill 1 barrel each day. The barrel collection process does not require supervision, and any excess will merely overflow on the ground. If additional barrels are placed in the field, every barrel beyond the first captures only 1/4 barrel each day. The oil can be sold to certain merchants, but can also be used as a fire accelerant, lubricant, or source of smoke for signaling.

Hidden: Schoolhouse Raid

A rickety one-room schoolhouse for rural children is host to the school's caretaker, a flighty and easily-startled man named Reggie Dupree. The schoolhouse is constructed in a remote area because it was established by the ILF to teach the bits of history that have been banned from the curriculum by Carrowian decree. The Carrowian loyalists discovered the schoolhouse and abducted the schoolteacher, Ms. Jacqueline Hebert. She is being held and interrogated as a dissident in a small military prison two hexes to the south (outside the sandbox). Reggie asks the party to try to rescue Jacqueline so they can move the schoolhouse and keep instructing the children to continue the fight until the swamp is liberated.

Secret: This Line Is Tapped

A traveling telegraph lineman (Hugo Samson) who is in charge of repairing breaks in the remote sections of line is getting tired of all the travel associated with his job. He can be found in any hex with accessible telegraph lines (100% chance for settlements and any hex with a rail line, as well as this hex; 2-in-6 chance otherwise). He's willing to trade jobs with anyone for a few days so he can have a change of pace. Anyone who accepts the trade is given a lineman's kit, which can tap into telegraph lines to verify they are sending and receiving messages.

If someone with a lineman's kit taps the telegraph lines in in this hex (Hex 25), one of the first messages they will intercept is a notice regarding the upcoming repositioning of Regulator troops. They are going to be marching out to Hex 11 and preparing for a major push toward capturing territory on the north side of the river (Hex 10 and above). However, this notice is a trap used by the Gate, hoping that the ILF has sympathetic telegraph operators who will relay that information to people who make strategic decisions within the ILF. The actual troop movements are quiet different, and designed to ambush the ILF who act on the information.

If the party is able to relay this information to a high-level ILF member or inform the Gate that their message was intercepted, the party will be permanently excluded from any discussions regarding military secrets, and any future information (even if true and verifiable) will not be accepted from the party.

03: Plants, Ponds, Petals, Pebbles, and Privilege

This week, I will be discussing the role privilege plays in nature interpretation. While at first glance, one may (naively) think, ‘Well, we can all interpret nature. Just step outside!’ there is more than meets the eye. My understanding of privilege is that it is a special advantage that makes opportunities more easily available for specific persons; more often than not, individuals are born with a certain level of privilege. Various details of an individual play into privilege; some of the more prevailing aspects (but not limited to) include culture, gender identity, race, and socioeconomic status.

For society to bridge the gap between more privileged and less privileged, at an absolute minimum, we as individuals should recognize the attributes and opportunities we have access to. In other words, as Peggy McIntosh may say, we should unpack our invisible backpacks. That is, we carry a weightless and ‘invisible’ backpack that gives access to opportunities; the irony being the backpack is by no means invisible (Hooykaas, 2024). Reflecting on my ‘invisible’ backpack, I am a white, middle-class, English-speaking university student with Canadian citizenship. As a result of my backpack, I have had opportunities that are not remotely equally available to everyone.

I believe a pertinent privilege, and thus also a barrier, that plays into nature interpretation stems from one’s socioeconomic status. Access to education, technology, and transportation are all aspects that would allow for preferable nature interpretation. However, these all require a level of income that can be spent on recreational purposes, which we all do not have. As a result, people who have lower socioeconomic status will be less likely to participate; this is often called the Marginality Theory (Beck et al., 2018). As some of us consider a career in nature interpretation, moreover as our generation will eventually be the majority of working age, we must do what we can to reduce such economic barriers. For example, in the case of providing nature interpretation, we should consider providing transportation, or better yet, bringing nature interpretation to people where they can learn about their local environment (Beck et al., 2018).

One’s physical status is another significant privilege, particularly to nature interpretation. Do you have able legs that can walk you through the intricate and sometimes harsh environments on our planet? Do you have able eyes that allow you to see the detailed aesthetics of nature while avoiding the potential harms of large bodies of water and coyote interactions? Can you hear the woodpeckers pecking? Can you smell the often distinct sweetness of sap in pine trees? I fortunately can say yes to each of these questions, however I can imagine that without having these physical abilities, an individual's ability to interpret nature would lessen. Again, as some of us consider a career in nature interpretation, such privileges should be taken into consideration. For instance, there could be more implementation of nature interpretation for people who are blind, including in-depth descriptions and more integration of touching features such as leaves, sand, flowers, and more.

Thanks for tuning in this week!

The Future of HR Tech: Must-Have Tools for Modern HR

Human Resources has evolved far beyond paperwork and manual processes. In 2025, HR teams are embracing technology to build smarter, more agile, and people-focused organizations. The right tools aren’t just “nice to have” anymore—they’re essential for staying competitive, improving employee experience, and driving business success.

In this blog, we’ll explore the must-have HR technologies that every modern HR team should consider.

1️⃣ People Analytics Platforms

Data is at the heart of modern HR. People analytics tools help HR teams track, analyze, and act on workforce data—from turnover rates and engagement scores to DEI metrics. These platforms empower HR leaders to make decisions based on evidence, not gut instinct.

👉 Examples: Visier, SAP SuccessFactors, ChartHop

2️⃣ AI-Powered Recruitment Software

Recruiting top talent has never been more competitive. AI-driven applicant tracking systems (ATS) help streamline job posting, resume screening, and candidate matching—saving time and reducing bias.

👉 Examples: Greenhouse, Lever, HireVue

3️⃣ Employee Experience Platforms

Employee expectations have changed. Tools that centralize feedback, pulse surveys, and recognition programs help organizations build a more engaged and satisfied workforce.

👉 Examples: CultureAmp, Peakon, Lattice

4️⃣ Learning Management Systems (LMS) with Microlearning

Continuous learning is critical for retention and growth. Modern LMS platforms support microlearning, mobile-friendly content, and personalized development paths.

👉 Examples: Docebo, 360Learning, Coursera for Business

5️⃣ HR Automation Tools

Repetitive tasks like onboarding paperwork, leave requests, and benefits enrollment can drain HR teams. Automation tools free up time for strategic work and reduce errors. Many companies are now integrating such automation within their HRMS software to centralize processes efficiently.

👉 Examples: QkrHR, BambooHR, Zoho People

6️⃣ Wellbeing & Mental Health Apps

Supporting employee wellbeing is a business priority. Tools that provide access to mental health resources, wellness challenges, and stress management can boost morale and productivity.

👉 Examples: Headspace for Work, Calm Business, LifeWorks

7️⃣ Flexible Work & Time Management Tools

As hybrid and remote work continue, tools that support time tracking, scheduling, and collaboration are essential for keeping teams aligned.

👉 Examples: Clockify, Slack, Asana

The Bottom Line

The future of HR tech is all about creating better employee experiences, driving smart decisions, and making HR processes seamless. Investing in the right tools now will help HR teams stay ahead—and help employees thrive.

💡 Tip: When evaluating HR tech, focus on integration, user experience, and data security to ensure long-term success.

10 tips to safeguard your critical business data in SAP systems

Secure your Critical Business Data

Security and risk are becoming increasingly challenging as businesses become more connected. It requires data sharing between different systems, applications, and enterprises.

According to Forrester, companies will double their budgets for data strategy over the next five years and according to Gartner, transparency and traceability are among the Top Ten Strategic Technology Trends for 2022. Smart spaces, they claim, will offer better business opportunities.

It was found in another recent report by Onapsis that between 50,000 and 100,000 organizations use SAP systems that are vulnerable. An example that made the world aware of the importance of data security is the case with the New Zealand government. An immense data breach in which firearms, addresses, and names of gun owners were exposed led SAP itself to apologize to the government. There was no hacking involved in the breach, but 66 dealers got access to sensitive information because of a change in user access given to dealers participating in the buyback scheme.

“Between 50,000 to 100,000 organizations use SAP systems that are vulnerable.”

Apparently, SAP is working on various solutions to increase the security of data. In addition, it reminds clients that security is a collaborative effort, and emphasizes the importance of proper system configuration.

The importance of security in SAP

Data breaches and ransomware attacks are on the rise, and the global pandemic presents new opportunities for cybercriminals. Many employees today access corporate resources through virtual private networks (VPNs). The shift to remote work has resulted in a more permissive VPN policy, which compromises corporate networks in an indirect way.

There is a need for IT security teams to accomplish more with less budget or with the same budget. It is part of their job responsibility to manage day-to-day IT and security operations, find and retain skilled security talent, identify and address security capability gaps, and maximize the return on investment (ROI).

Almost seven out of ten organizations do not place a high priority on securing their SAP systems. Considering the recent spike in cyber-attacks, it is essential to secure SAP systems. We have put together a list of 10 tips you can use immediately to secure your critical business data in SAP system.

1. Own it – Don’t blame

When a security breach occurs, who is responsible? A recent survey by Onapsis found that half of the respondents believe SAP is to blame for security breaches – not anyone within their own organization. Another 30% believe that no one is responsible. A small percentage of people believe that the CIO or CISO is responsible for a security breach.

50% blame SAP for security breaches

30% have no idea

20% say it is CIO/CISO’s responsibility

63% of C-Level executives underestimate the risks associated with insecure SAP applications

The dangers associated with insecure SAP applications are underestimated by 63% of C-level executives.

2. Regularly update the EHP & SPS

One of the most significant steps to staying secure is to keep your system up to date. Enhancement packages are delivered by SAP to deliver new innovations/functionality or “enhancements” to customers without disruption. Ensure you have the latest enhancement packs installed, and that you aren’t several versions behind. It is always risky to be a first adopter, but it is also imperative to avoid falling behind (n-1 is always recommended). Technology and computer security are constantly improving, so it is important to keep your system up to date with patches, fixes, updates, and enhancement packs.

As part of its Support Package Stacks, SAP releases periodic security solutions. The Support Package Stacks are patches for a given product that should be applied together. It is recommended that these stacks be applied at least once a year, and SAP specifies the maintenance schedule on its website. In addition, ToggleNow can help you identify your system’s most critical SPSs.

3. The Right SODs make a difference

As business processes rapidly evolve, employee roles and responsibilities are also changing. By establishing boundaries between roles assigned to an employee and conflicts of interest that may arise from the employee’s responsibilities, segregation of duties aims to reduce internal fraud risks. For example, one employee processes a PO while another verifies and approves it. This adds more control and prevents payments to ‘fake’ vendors.

It is becoming more common for mature organisations to look for ways to improve Segregation of Duties management while reducing costs. It is imperative for businesses to integrate an advanced, quick, and easy-to-install Access Management tool that fits with their systems. This will avoid conflicts after an employee’s role or tasks change.

This can be achieved either by implementing the SAP GRC Access Control solution or ToggleNow’s SoD Analysis solution for SAP. The SAP Security Assessment services provided by ToggleNow will identify the right solutions for your organization. Additionally, if you have SAP GRC implemented, explore the various SAP GRC services that are offered by us.

With the help of our SMEs, you will be able to implement the right separation of duties strategies and ensure that you comply with the various regulations and mandates.

4. Ensure the quality of your code

SAP systems typically have over 30 percent proprietary code, depending on the industry. Statistics indicate that one critical security defect occurs for every 1,000 lines of ABAP code.

It is possible that SAP system performance will be adversely affected. It is estimated that the average SAP system contains 2,151 risks, and 70% of enterprises fail to audit their ABAP custom code for compliance and security.

It is possible to simplify the security process for your code. It is no longer necessary for organizations to invest time, money, and manpower in major security projects. An analysis of your code beforehand will enable you to identify and prioritize any risks and issues before you begin an upgrade.

To ensure security, performance, maintainability, robustness, and compliance with ABAP standards, integrate coding and quality assurance into a single activity.

Finally, you should only keep the custom code you need. It introduces unnecessary risks and increases the amount of effort needed for unnecessary code corrections when redundant unused custom code is used.

Wondering how to handle the situation? Here is a solution – SAP Solution Manager CCLM is a fantastic solution that addresses the majority of these requirements. Refer to this blog

5. Implement SAP Solution Manager – Security Optimization Service (SOS)

We are often asked by clients what tools are available to check the security of SAP systems? Additionally, to Early Watch Alert (EWA), SAP Solution Manager (SOLMAN) has a Security Optimization Service (SOS) report that focuses on security.

Security Optimization Service for the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP checks the security of your SAP system(s) and perform the following checks:

• Basis administration check • User management check • Super users check • Password check • Spool and printer authorization check • Background authorization check • Batch input authorization check • Transport control authorization check • Role management authorization check • Profile parameter check • SAP GUI Single Sign-On (SSO) check • Certificate Single Sign-On (SSO) check • External authentication check

You’ll need the latest version of SOLMAN and the latest support pack to set this up. The managed system must also be configured and setup in SOLMAN without any errors and the instance is correctly defined in LMDB. (Status Green). Additionally, the OS collector must be running on your target instances and database.

It is important, however, to answer the following before setting up the SOS:

• Does your organization have the capacity to manually review those reports and act on each recommendation? • It is set correctly so that your team has ample time to review and act on the reports.

6. Regular health checks keep the system healthy

Yes, you heard that right. Humans and systems alike benefit from regular health checks. Ponemon Institute reports that organizations lack visibility “into the security of SAP applications and lack the expertise to detect, prevent, and respond to cyberattacks quickly.”

Early detection is the key to staying healthy or secure. A frequent ERP system check helps you get a comprehensive picture of your ERP landscape before making changes and identifying areas for improvement. This is just like healthy people need annual checkups and preventative medicine to stay healthy and detect problems early. Regular health checkups can identify security gaps. Additionally, EWA and SOS reports provide an in-depth analysis of the system. According to experts’ recommendations, SAP Solution Manager must be configured to support these modules.

7. Implement an Antivirus scan

How confident are you that the documents attached in SAP are virus-free? A vulnerable code might be included in a file your users use/attach in SAP, allowing hackers to gain access.

If you use SAP software, you should use a virus scanner to protect against computer viruses, and SAP recommends this. However, SAP does not investigate, recommend, or release antivirus software as part of its server product validation program.

Many anti-virus software packages protect your SAP deployments using Deep Security, protecting critical information from threats such as malware, cross-site scripting, and SQL injections.

A Virus Scan Adapter (VSA) must be installed on the host before a Deep Security scan can be performed. SAP note 2081108 explains how to set up and configure the VSA system and SAP note 1494278 provides a list of the AV products that are supported.

Additionally, SAP administrators can define the types of documents that are allowed based on various policies. After selecting the right AV product, this can be determined.

8. Implement re-certification processes

Reviews of dormant IDs and dormant roles make a great start. Regularly reviewing the user IDs and deactivating those that are no longer needed is always recommended. This will not only increase the application’s security but also reduce licensing costs. If you already have an SOP in place and are still performing this activity manually, here is a solution for you. ToggleNow’s UserSentry automates both dormant ID review and Role review by taking the appropriate action according to defined rules. Thus, you can comply with a critical audit requirement.

9. Implement additional Security measures

In addition, we recommend that additional security measures be implemented. Back then, experts used to advise setting up complex password policies like keeping password lengths between 8-12 characters and forcing users to change their passwords frequently. Keeping strong passwords alone is no longer sufficient considering technological advancements.

It is recommended to implement additional security measures such as 2-factor authentication (2FA) or multifactor authentication (MFA), validating a user’s machine ID (aka mac ID) at log-in, and adding geofencing validations, verifying the availability of anti-virus software, checking the firewall status, etc. All these features are included in ToggleNow’s UserSentry application, which helps next-generation enterprises implement them quickly.

10. Transform your business with digital technology

The waterfall era has ended. Agility has won. By embracing digital transformation and getting fast and frequent feedback, organizations can respond quickly to critical security issues. By doing this, security issues aren’t ignored, and crises can be averted. If you are worried about the Subject matter expertise and resource availability, ToggleNow can step in and take over this critical piece.
