Asset Management and Discovery Route to Value: A Path to Effective Business Service Management | 2005-05-05 03:20:24 | BMC Software |
| IT assets have high turnover and mobility, often outpacing an IT organization's ability to effectively track them. Most organizations also struggle with fragmented discovery tools and a lack of automated asset controls, which further compounds the problem. In order to manage asset issues, such as total costs, utilization, and software license compliance, companies need a solution that enables them to effectively manage the relationship of their IT assets to contracts, costs, and the needs of the business throughout the entire lifecycles of the assets. This paper explores the need for an IT Asset Management and Discovery Solution, the criteria for that solution, and how BMC Software's Asset Management and Discovery Route to Value provides a solution that fits that criteria. | |||

Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance for Asset Intensive Industries | 2005-03-17 04:50:13 | MRO Software |
| There are five main statutes to SOX that relate to asset intensive industries. They are sections 301, 302, 401, 404 and 409. Driven by the amount of revenue opportunity, software companies, audit firms and business process consultants are jumping at the chance to grasp new revenue streams, resulting in millions of dollars of product spend and thousands of man-hours to comply. In asset intensive industries it's not just about SOX compliance, but how to manage all risk within an organization. This paper focuses on these elements and establishes the necessary link from a financially focused compliance initiative to an enterprise focused compliance effort. | |||

Understanding Digital Records Management | 2005-02-05 03:00:01 | Laserfiche |
| From Sarbanes-Oxley to the PATRIOT act, records management has become an important part of doing business. However, most legislation and regulations have been handed down with no road map for compliance. Fortunately, a records management standard that has evolved for several years has begun to emerge as the de facto standard across most industries. The United States Department of Defense developed a records management standard (DoD 5015.2) as a requirement for records management applications (RMAs) implemented within its departments. This white paper explains the principles of digital records management used in the DoD standard. |
