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 massive 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.
