The Joy of SOX examines how the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), decried as a painful dampener of business agility and innovation, as well as a m*s*ive waste of money, can actually be a catalyst for badly needed change in American industry. Focusing on the critical nexus between Information Technology and business operations and the emergence of the revolutionary Service-Oriented Architecture, this book shows companies how to rise to the challenge of SOX and use the regulations as for implementing much-needed IT infrastructure changes. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) was p*s*ed in 2002 in response to a series of hig--profile corporate scandals and requires that public companies implement internal controls over financial reporting, operations, and *s*ets; these controls depend heavily on installing or improving information technology and business methods. Written by one of the most visible personalities on the tech-biz side of the SOX discussion, this highly readable, engaging book provides a clear road map for integrating SOX compliance into the fabric of everyday IT infrastructure and business practice. It shows the reader how to leverage and use service-oriented architecture (SOA), a set of technologies that enables interoperation of heterogeneous computer systems, to achieve the level of internal controls over IT that SOX mandates.
