not being up to date
Declined
The number of errors resulting from the information architecture not being up to date.
Whether this means they are getting errors because they haven´t got latest versions installed, or because the whole set-up is antiquated, I can´t tell from the context given.
"Architecture" is often used in sentences like this to mean not so much the conceptual structure, as the implementation of the conceptual structure - i.e. the actual equipment and software.

Mmm, on looking more closely, and looking up Cobit, I see that what it is supposed to mean is the data architecture, i.e. the structures which are defined for holding the data. Errors can arise from this being out of date (having a lack of currency) because in this case work-arounds have to be adopted to handle poor match between internal systems, and of internal systems with external systems.
Such work-arounds are never perfect, and lead sooner or later to errors, either data being incorrectly input, or programs failing because the data structures are not right.
