Re: Compliance Audit -- SYSTEM21

So, the contract states that Infor are allowed to perform an audit.

My take would be, if they want to audit usage (for which they have every right to do), then go ahead, sign on and look at the data....which they are able to do...the files are there. However, I would NOT let anyone (under any circumstances) install any software on my iSeries without first being able to review the source code.

I would think your auditors may have an issue with someone loading software over which you have no control.

Just my opinion.
