Change is a fact of enterprise life. But how change is handled can affect an entire IT organization's stability, security and compliance. Without a control strategy in place, every change, including beneficial ones, can become the enemy. The first step toward making change a measurable benefit is identifying what types of changes are occurring and implementing processes that bring them under control.

In this whitepaper, you will learn the immense cost of unauthorized and undocumented change and how IT organizations can take immediate steps to control "the bleed."

This paper details:

• The measurable costs of unplanned and unauthorized change and how business suffers as a result.
• How to identify where your company falls on the change management continuum and ways to accelerate a configuration auditing policy
• How to ensure that every change is visible, planned, verified and integrated with IT processes.
