IBM audit readiness webinar

Build an always-on readiness posture—from entitlements and inventory to audit process control—backed by proven best practices and a case study

IBM audits are rarely convenient—and for many organizations, they’re disruptive, time consuming and expensive. With increasingly complex hybrid environments and strict reporting expectations, being “audit ready” can no longer be a once a year exercise. In this session on April 22nd at 1p.m. AEST, our experts will break down what true IBM audit readiness looks like in practice, how to confidently manage an IBM audit when it happens, and how leading organizations are reducing risk with our IBM-certified alternative to ILMT.

Agenda:

• What triggers IBM audits—and what auditors expect to see: Understand common audit scenarios, reporting requirements, and where organizations typically get caught out
• The foundations of IBM audit readiness: How to build an always-on readiness posture by centralizing entitlements, maintaining accurate inventory, and validating usage across on prem, virtual and cloud environments
• Managing an IBM audit from start to finish: Best practices for controlling the audit process—from the initial audit notice through evidence preparation, submission, and follow up
• Life beyond ILMT: what “IBM approved” really means: An overview of Flexera’s IBM-certified alternative to ILMT, and how unified, scalable reporting supports sub capacity licensing and audit defense
• Real world case study: A practical example of how an organization improved its IBM audit readiness, reduced risk, and simplified ongoing compliance
