Sarbanes-Oxley compliance has a major impact on IT operations, according to a recent survery by Mercury Interactive and the Economist Intelligence Unit.
68% of 800 IT executives in 22 countries were questioned about the controversial legislation and similar legislation overseas.
Compliance with regulatory regimes was one of the greatest challenges facing IT managers, according to 80% of US IT executives.
Christopher Lochhead, chief marketing officer at Mercury commented, “Compliance mandates require changes in business processes, which in turn require changes to business-critical applications. Companies are implementing IT Governance strategies and software to establish a sustainable approach to making these changes and lowering the cost and risk to the business.”
