| The task for the corporate information management practice and the IT Department is to not only meet the
compliance challenge but support the objectives of the business while doing so. As
organisations introduce new business processes or amend existing ones to address
compliance issues, they have to upgrade or replace their core business packages. They
have to enhance their e-mail management, records management, data storage and IT
security practices. This will not be a one off event and compliance has to become a new
core corporate competency that engenders information management re-assessment and
business process change.
Keeping the compliance ball in play not only avoids penalty pitfalls but adds score points of efficiency improvment, creating a win-win situation.
