The Forrester Wave™: Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Software, Q1 2005

Evaluation Of Top SOX Software Vendors Across 58 Criteria

by Robert Markham, Paul D. Hamerman

with Connie Moore, Colin Teubner, Jessica Harrington

This is an excerpt

Executive Summary

Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance is a rapidly maturing software category that combines enterprise content management, analytics, and enterprise applications. Three criteria provide significant differentiation among the SOX offerings evaluated: integration, collaboration, and reporting and monitoring. The user interfaces also vary widely in capability and ease of use. OpenPages emerged as the leading vendor, with IBM, Paisley Consulting, HandySoft, and Oracle close behind. Enterprises seeking a single platform for enterprise risk management should give preference to IBM, OpenPages, and Paisley Consulting because they provide a broader focus beyond SOX that encompasses additional compliance categories, including integrated enterprise risk management.
