Control IT With Configuration Audit and Control
Every IT service depends on an integrated "stack" of systems such as applications, databases, middleware, directory services, operating systems and networks. This interconnectedness means even a small change can affect the entire stack, interrupt service, introduce vulnerabilities, and impact every part of a business operation. Change must be controlled to mitigate risks and improve operational efficiency. This will build an effective change management process, fostering a culture of accountability and consequence to support a change policy.
