It's the great American way.
Big corporate officers get greedy and cheat people.
Congress attempts to legislate morality. Out pops
Sarbanes-Oxley.
All major sw/hw vendors (at least IBM, Sun, and
Microsoft) to the rescue! They're all offering what I
like to call "Sox in cellophane" -- a combo hw/sw
solution to assure your compliance.
Sadly, our company went with Microsoft. They seem
convinced that all the need to do is purchase this
over-blown system from MS, put a bunch of crap on it
(sql server, enterprise editions of office, whatever
that is, and anything else costly), and magically all
things Sarbanes-Oxley will float towards this system,
to be sucked in like some big vacuum cleaner, and
voila! we'll be compliant.
OK, so I'm a pessimist. My coffee cup is half-empty.
(And cold, to boot). I see major headaches for IT
folks ahead.
And me on my last bottle of Excedin.
