Whether or not these efforts bear the governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) label, it's important to understand the underlying benefits of coordinating these historically discrete functions to achieve greater efficiency and insight. Forrester offers deep research into how GRC can be applied successfully through strategy and technology, in key areas of the organization or across the entire business. This document serves as an overview of Forrester's GRC research. Its goal is to provide a taxonomy for how Forrester defines GRC and guide you to more in-depth reports on best practices, vendor selection, trends, forecasts, and more. http://www.forrester.com/go?docid=48277&src=RSS Mar 3, 2009: The current global economic crisis is putting increasing pressure on enterprise architects to find new — and more cost-effective — ways of meeting business needs.

In addition to direct expenditures on compensation and benefits, organizations invest in technology, outsourcing, professional services, and learning and development programs to make employees successful at their jobs and help the organization achieve its goals.
