Vendor Audit Activity Levels [Survey]
I have been invited to speak at a webinar next week entitled “From Adobe to Oracle: Preventing & Preparing for a Vendor Software Audit”. My part of the presentation will highlight the most common failures that lead to non-compliance during a vendor audit.
In preparation for the webinar I would like to gauge the current level of audit activity from software vendors. In particular I am interested to know:
- Who is actively conducting audits?
- Who is the most aggressive?
- Who is the most helpful?
As always, all information disclosed will be held in strictest confidence and full results will be posted on the ITAM Review and emailed to subscribers.
Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to seeing and sharing the results.
