“Many major software vendors have introduced new versions of software with potential change management and compliance issues that are only now beginning to impact a vast majority of organizations,” said Mike Sullivan, president, Ecora. “Ecora’s recognition as an ‘all-star’ in change management underscores our commitment to provide global organizations with thorough, actionable information in rich report templates, customizable for every level in an organization concerned with appropriate configuration of an IT enterprise. These tailored reports afford the ability to validate compliance for any internal or external IT audit scenario, and increase productivity by ensuring that change and configuration can be managed in a secure, reliable, and timely fashion.”

In January 2008, Ecora released version 4.5 of its Ecora Auditor Professional™, designed to help organizations meet service level agreements by minimizing potential causes of downtime, reducing the costly impact of meeting and sustaining compliance mandates, improving overall infrastructure security by identifying unintended changes and the potential risks associated with them, and improving the overall operational efficiency of IT professionals. Auditor Pro delivers immediate value by leveraging pre-defined policies and rich report templates to provide the foundation for effective change and configuration management. Easy-to-read reporting functionality allows an IT manager to identify what changes were made, and to generate root-cause analysis reports identifying who was responsible for making the change. New features in 4.5 include the Ecora Compliance Center, the option for Agent or Agentless Enterprise Data Collection and Help desk and asset database integration.
