Ngage can only do what the person asking can do

Every request runs within the signed-in user’s own ERP permissions, with approvals you choose and every step on an audit trail.

Controls on every request

Ngage acts as the person asking, waits for a yes where you set one, and writes down each step.

An illustrative audit record on a test landscape. The values are samples.
  • Your own permissions

    Ngage acts as the signed-in user, never as a shared service account.

  • Approvals you choose

    Writes can wait for a person’s yes. You decide which actions wait.

  • Your sign-in

    Single sign-on with Microsoft Entra ID or OIDC. Your MFA and conditional access still apply.

  • Every step on the record

    An immutable audit trail: who asked, what was planned, what ran and what came back.

How Ngage reaches your ERP

Through each ERP’s official interfaces, never the database.

  • In IBM Maximo, IFS and SAP

    Every read and write goes through each ERP’s official interfaces, so its own rules still apply.

  • The database, never touched

    Ngage never reads or writes an ERP database directly.

  • Nothing installed in IFS

    On IFS: no code on IFS servers and no schema changes.

What these protections depend on

The limits of the claims above, stated plainly.

  • Certifications are Google’s

    They do not certify Ngage or your deployment.

  • Settings vary by deployment

    Retention, region and keys follow your contract.

  • Ngage records are separate

    Provider retention does not govern Ngage history, logs or exports.

  • Described, not certified
