Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance�What Were the Legislators Thinking?

Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance�What Were the Legislators Thinking?: "What Should You Do? Let�s look at the obvious: most organizations must greatly increase the amount and variety of information needed and expand the number of people who must have access to that information. In a nutshell, the technology supporting the data warehouse and data marts in the Corporate Information Factory (CIF) will be stressed far more than it has been in the past in terms of volumes of data required and number and complexity of queries issued. The underlying technology for the CIF must provide for high scalability and extremely good query performance while accommodating this new depth of data and users. Just consider the fact that your compliance queries may have to sift through millions or billions of rows of data without a lot of advanced notice!"


Sarbanes-Oxley is one of those things that you better know what it means to you or you are going to get pushed aside and told what you will do to comply. Don't let it happen to you.
