Challenge: Compliance

With today's increased focus on corporate governance, complying with increasingly stringent government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and others has become a business and legal necessity. IT activities, especially those that relate to financial systems, must now be fully traceable and auditable. However, disparate tools and systems make compliance difficult, especially following mergers and acquisitions and with the increasing use of outsourcing service providers. Key challenges include:

• Disparate, heterogeneous tools, systems and processes hinder compliance efforts and make it difficult to achieve full traceability for compliance audits
• Poor visibility and control of remote activities impedes compliance monitoring
• Mergers and acquisitions as well as the use of outsource service providers can delay and/or obstruct compliance efforts
