How
ISO 19970 will drive higher standards for Software Asset Management
Shaun Frohlich |
| Despite many worthy commercial and technical drivers
for software asset management, many organisations have done too
little to effectively manage their software estate either from a
value or a compliance perspective. Despite the diversity of licence
schemes and the complexities in managing usage and entitlement,
Shaun will articulate how the new standard is helping adaptors make
it simpler. |

Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein’s Take on SOX
Compliance
Laurent Marchal, Vice President, Products & Services, Tideway
Systems |
| Since its conception in 2002 the Sarbanes Oxley Act
has proven a Trojan horse for the IT organisation, used to carry a
plethora of IT projects in its belly. While the industry debates the
relevance of SOX in regards to the IT environment – and the ‘SOX in
a Box’ approach has been tried and abandoned by many - SOX does mark
a turning point in the maturity of the IT process, making the IT
organisation accountable as never before. As such the IT
organisation has a dual-role to play on the SOX stage – one of
meeting the criteria set out by COBIT, to provide evidence that
controls are in place, and the other to evolve its IT governance for
a much greater and long-term impact on how IT operations are run
generally.
The IT operations team at Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein has
grasped the challenge and opportunity that SOX has provided – to
work towards achieving true global IT management, and focus on
installing public company standards across the IT organisation. This
section will look at how they see the current climate for regulatory
compliance as benefiting the business control environment, rather
than just focusing on the specifics laid out by SOX or any other of
the regulators. |

for regulatory compliance. Roger will examine where the processes
fit within the COBIT framework: |
