Sarbanes Oxley, COBIT and ITIL Compliance - Are your z/OS systems compliant? Review our compliance paper here.

Reduce the risk of outages, data corruption or loss and manipulation. Avoid exorbitant penalties that could apply under the Sarbanes Oxley Act.

ITIL and "best practices" are not sufficient to conform to the Sarbanes Oxley & COBIT requirements. There are many products on the market that claim they can track changes, that they can control / manage changes or that they can audit the use of products and the changes made to systems. Most change management products are either electronic paper or based on cyclical comparisons.

eventACTION - a comprehensive event tracking product can help you pro-actively manage your z/OS environment with real time capture and control of any change, reference, or execution to any system level data.

eventACTION and ussACTION are the Solution for the z/OS Systems environment
