Anyway, one company we may have overlooked somewhat of late is MKS. It competes with many of our favourite companies such as IBM/Rational, Serena/Merant, Borland, and Telelogic and what attracted me to its pitch is its claim that its "unique strength is that compliance is a by-product of our solution, not the end goal..."
I like that. Compliance isn't an end in itself, as David Piper of Select BS pointed out in a recent seminar: it's all really in pursuit of "better, faster, cheaper" - if you want the CFO to pay for it. If you do things properly (which means, if you have a good managed process) compliance simply falls out. If you don't, ad hoc compliance may satisfy the regulators for now, but every time something changes, you have to revisit compliance everywhere, just in case it is affected - which makes change expensive.
