Coming in 2009...

Standards development process
In conjunction with the release of our books throughout 2009, we will be introducing
a standards development process.  We believe our thought leadership in the area of
Segregation of Duties and User Access Controls will help us lead industry experts in
a process of developing a best practice User Access Control and SOD conflict matrix.

This process will develop a common language for assessing risk and implementing
controls related to application security for companies running Oracle e-Business
Suite.

Standards will be introduced over several web-based meetings starting January 9,
2009 and will cover topics per the following schedule:

Date                     Activity
1/9/2009          Structure/Methodology
1/16/2009        Foundation - Security, Development, Core Applications
1/23/2009        Foundation - Security, Development, Core Applications
1/30/2009        Procure to Pay
2/6/2009          Procure to Pay
2/13/2009        Order to Cash

2/27/2009        Financial Close
3/6/2009          Hire to Pay
3/13/2009        Inventory Management

T
he standards development process will culminate in a Symposium the week of
March 16 - 18, 2009 in Denver, CO
.  The Symposium will be three intensive days of
heads down work
to finalize the process.  More details on the Symposium coming.

This standards development process will include practitioners from various
disciplines including audit
(internal and external), end user companies, software
companies
, and consulting firms that are interested in developing standards related
to user access controls and segregation of duties for Oracle E-Business Suite.  More
details to come on the standards development process to come.

meanwhile, if you have questions.
