New Microsoft to add Sarbanes-Oxley functionality to Office
[link|http://news.com.com/2110-1012-5127144.html?tag=nefd_hed|http://news.com.com/...html?tag=nefd_hed]

Microsoft announced further details Wednesday regarding an add-on for its Office software aimed at helping companies comply with new Sarbanes-Oxley accounting rules. The Office Solution Accelerator for Sarbanes-Oxley, set for release in March, is part of a family of specialty software and services packages Microsoft plans to introduce based on its new Office 2003 productivity software.

New Looked at SharePoint a while back
nothing much to it other than the wide open ability to share directories and files. First problem is that setting up the access control is a major pain. Second problem is that it's fairly flexible (read unstructured). Biggest hassle with it, though, is that its mostly an internal organizational tool. Whereas Sarbanes-Oxley requires coordination between multiple entities (including the accountants/auditers).

Well MS has enuf money, I'm sure they'll make a play. They kicked our tires a while back, but I wasn't willing to integrate with .net or sharepoint. Time will tell.
