MKS Makes Compliance Easier
With the enactment of Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and other compliance initiatives, software and tools designed to automate the process of compliance have made the transition from nice to have to a necessity. By automating compliance with application lifecycle management, IT organizations can meet compliance demands but without the costly diversion of financial and human resources. IT organizations benefit over the long term, by creating leaner, and more focused business processes, and improving IT controls.
"In a recent survey of over 7,000 respondents, 40 percent of IT leaders reported they have serious problems with IT failures and 75 percent of IT leaders know they need to improve IT governance."
