IDC PlanScape: Future IT Strategies to Ensure and Manage Compliance Ecosystems

This IDC PlanScape is designed to make the case for the importance of compliance ecosystems and explains why they are important, what they are, who the key stakeholders are, and how CIOs and LOB executives can help create them. It is intended as a tool for discussions among CIOs, LOB executives, and business leaders to gain consensus on the importance of compliance ecosystems and what initiatives should be pursued to achieve the levels of compliance that the business needs. "Aside from the obvious benefit of avoiding regulatory fines and punishment, compliance ecosystems help businesses avoid "surprises" resulting from third-party violations, eliminate the cost and distraction of mitigating fallout from violations, and provide fodder for proactive marketing of compliant business practices," says Marc Strohlein, adjunct research advisor with IDC's IT Executive Programs (IEP).
