Importance of Enterprise Compliance

Mike Ferguson wrote a clear business statement about the importance of enterprise compliance. It is a sobering assessment of how enterprises have devalued the requirement for quality and consistent data about their business processes. Most CIO's have concurred, retreating into a partial ERP solution like a band-aid on a deep wound.

Ferguson concludes, "...the bottom line here is that noncompliance carries significant adverse consequences. It is not just about the penalties. It is about reputation, maintaining good relationships with key investors and customer confidence. All of these are threatened by poor data quality."

This is a MUST-READ! Part Two will go into depth on technical architecture for enterprise compliance.

Went to go, Mike!
