What is an EUC?
End-User Computing (EUC) applications are developed by end users—often using tools like Excel or Access—without necessarily adhering to coding standards or having formal IT training.
These applications are typically created by operations or business-as-usual (BAU) staff, rather than by the IT department. EUC applications can also encompass databases, queries, scripts, and outputs from reporting tools. Financial firms, in particular, tend to have a high number of complex EUCs.
The importance of EUC remediation
Regulatory Compliance
Many industries are subject to strict regulatory requirements regarding data accuracy, privacy, and security. EUC remediation ensures that these applications comply with relevant laws and standards, thus avoiding potential fines, legal challenges, and reputational damage.
Risk Reduction
EUC applications often develop organically within departments to meet immediate needs. Without proper oversight, they can introduce operational risks through errors in calculations, data manipulation, or loss of critical data. Remediation identifies and mitigates these risks, ensuring that EUC applications are reliable and secure.
Data Integrity & Accuracy
Many important business decisions are data-driven. Competent EUC tooling ensures that decisions are based on reliable and accurate information, helping achieve high-quality insights and outcomes.
EUC tools are integral to your business
Scalability and Future-proofing
As businesses grow, their EUC landscape can become more complex and harder to manage. Remediation efforts can help ensure that EUC applications are scalable, maintainable, and adaptable to future business needs, technologies, and regulatory changes.
Enhanced Security
EUC applications can be vulnerable to security breaches, especially if they contain sensitive or proprietary information. Remediation includes implementing security measures to protect against unauthorized access and data breaches.
Improved Governance and Control
EUC remediation establishes governance frameworks and control measures for the ongoing management of EUC applications, to contribute to a more structured and controlled IT environment.
