Feed: Puppet Blog Feed. Author: Matthew Arout; Compliance audits are vital for the success of any enterprise. But, we know they can be painful and distracting. They can be make-or-break for the IT department. It’s one of the top issues I see in my role as Customer Marketing Manager for Puppet. Another thing I hear about from customers are stories about disjointed collaboration between IT departments. The resulting work silos, hefty fines—not to mention the headaches from engineers and managers having to prepare data for audits—not only rack up costs, they also drain engineer time.But there’s hope I was excited ...

Because if you're like me, you're probably not thrilled about ... Read More
