Asset Portfolio Management - Solving the Compliance Puzzle: Governance, Process Enablement and IT Asset Management

Overview As organizations move deeper into this new age of regulatory compliance, governance is emerging as an effective, long-term approach - addressing compliance issues by balancing process improvement with risk mitigation. Because IT assets are the common denominator in virtually every business process, implementing an effective IT asset management solution is critical to the success of process enablement, and thus, of governance itself. The current regulatory climate is making new and chilling demands on executive management, which in turn is putting pressure on IT for solutions. Because IT touches almost everything that happens in a company, it is only natural that any effective solution for improving processes, mitigating risk and meeting compliance begins with IT.
