Featuring Gartner: IT Governance and the Role of Enterprise SCM and Process Best Practices

As Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) deadlines approach, organizations are actively working to improve IT governance and ensure compliance. Companies who have embraced software best practices are finding compliance a lesser hurdle and they are realizing tangible benefits such as productivity and software quality improvements, as well as reduced IT costs.

Can enterprise software configuration management (SCM) and process maturity play a role in SOX compliance? If so, how and where?
Is there a relationship between IT governance frameworks such as COBIT and other process maturity models such as CMM/CMMI?
What impact has SOX had on the IT department? Are there ways to systematize this effort?
How are leading companies facing the Sarbanes Oxley challenge? Is anyone passing audits?

In this session Jim Duggan, Vice President and Research Area Director for Gartner, discusses the role that process-centric SCM and software management best practices can play in aiding Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts and enhancing IT governance.
