Many organizations have not been able to demonstrate that they have effective compliance management. In this session Stu Henderson describes failed attempts at compliance management, the factors causing the failures, and what you can do to develop effective compliance management. Recommendations will address relevant changes in technology, regulation, and tools, as well as organizational and procedural issues. Stu's practical recommendations are based on over a decade of observing real-life mainframe security practices, and the factors blocking their effectiveness. If you are a CISO, mainframe auditor, or the person responsible for regulatory compliance, you will learn useful steps you can take to improve the quality of your compliance and your ability to demonstrate it!

The software, tools, and processes used to win, serve, and retain customers will become critical to the success of the organization in what Forrester identifies as today’s ‘age of the customer’. Those who will succeed are agile, proactive, and best able to deal with this disruption in the status quo of business. One of the issues a business must incorporate into its strategy for success is why and when to modern existing IT solutions.

Commissioned by CA Technologies, Forrester Consulting research evaluated the impact of software modernization, or lack thereof, on a number of key business metrics, such as revenue growth, profitability, and product and application development cycles time. The goal of the research was to inquire about the level of modernization across a number of classes of enterprise software and to explore the correlation between leaders and laggards in modernization and high and low business performers.

Forrester’s study yielded a number of both expected and counterintuitive findings. This webinar presents key findings and resulting five key planning recommendations.
