Key findings from the report “Managing The Software Audit: 2022 survey on enterprise software licensing and audit trends”
Key findings from the report include that there is no evidence that audit activity is decreasing, even with the shift to cloud. In fact, 38% of respondents indicated that moving workloads to cloud has increased compliance concerns. Furthermore, there is a clear trend that audits are being targeted on SMEs – specifically organizations with between 250 & 1,000 employees. 83% of companies of that size reported having been audited in the past three years.
However, it’s not all doom and gloom. It was interesting to note that on average 9 out of 10 audits were conducted in a friendly and professional manner.
For more insights from the report listen to the podcast where we also delve deeper into Oracle’s audit strategy and priorities for 2023 and beyond.
