Technology is great. Well, I obviously I believe this because I write
about it. But technology doesn't only enable IT and business
professionals to run their organizations, it also allows
SearchDataManagement.com to understand what kind of information our
readers want.

We have a great tool that gives us data about what topics people
search for when they come to our website. A recent report told us
that many of you come to SearchDataManagement.com looking for
information about corporate compliance - from HIPAA to SOX to
Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) software to basic compliance
definitions and best practices. We heard you!

So, we've recently added Michael Rasmussen to our Ask the Expert
panel. Michael is the founder of Corporate Integrity LLC --
http://go.techtarget.com/r/3277999/6276287 -- specializing in education,
research, analysis and advisory services monitoring the challenges
and trends of the business roles accountable for corporate
governance, enterprise risk management and compliance. The former
analyst joins SearchDataManagement.com's expert panel with over 15
years of experience. Even better, you can ask him your questions now.
For inspiration and information, check out Michael's answers to two
recent reader questions:

** GRC tools for business intelligence security:

** Sarbanes-Oxley compliance: Technology vs. spreadsheets:

** Ask Michael a question:
http://go.techtarget.com/r/3278002/6276287

Also, SearchDataManagement.com recently published several articles to
answer your call for more compliance information. Read expert advice
and the results of a recent analyst report in the article "BI users
can't wean themselves off Excel" to learn how spreadsheet management
software can actually help organizations meet SOX requirements. Or,
read about IBM's recent release of its new compliance data warehouse
for unstructured data.

As always, SearchDataManagement.com wants to deliver the information
that you need to make your organizational processes more successful
and efficient. What compliance resources would you find helpful? Are
you confused about how to best comply with SOX? Looking for more on
healthcare compliance? Let us know, and we'll do what we can to get
you what you're looking for.

Or, of course, I could check my handy little tool and find out what
it is you've been looking for - but I'd rather hear from you! Send me
and email at kmarquis@techtarget.com.

Happy complying!
Kathryn
