bless my pointy little head
i'm really not all that intelligent.
or clever, or talented, or wise, or empathetic or a great many intellectual traits i'd like to be. my memory isn't great and my ability to notice things is ludicrously erratic. it's almost hard for me to admit--as i take pains to imply just the opposite is true.
but what i can do--and my great tool in emulating all of the above--is that i have the odd, tiny gift of sifting through a bushel-load of information with tremendous rapidity and distilling it down to a few pointed correlations. confused? case in point:
a little somethin'-some about compliance -- by me (feel free to skim, there's a point here)
i've already mentioned that various regulations have been passed in recent years to try to protect consumer privacy and guard against identity theft and corporations need to be in compliance with these regulations.
more specifically, the "Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003," or CAN-SPAM, is the federal law to prevent spamming.
the "Do Not Call" list is maintained by Federal Trade Commission and consumers can contact the agency to have their numbers registered. organizations are prohibited from making calls to sell goods or services any numbers listed, and are subject to fines if they fail to comply.
the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was enacted after Enron and WorldCom to protect shareholders and the general public from accounting errors and fraudulent practices in the enterprise. it defines which records are to be stored and for how long.
the United States Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) seeks to establish standards electronic data interchange (EDI), security, and confidentiality of all healthcare-related data.
the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLB Act), also known as the Financial Modernization Act of 1999, is a federal law enacted in the United States to control the ways that financial institutions deal with the private information of individuals.
and California, as always, goes it own one step further with the California Security Breach Information Act, requiring organizations that maintain personal information about individuals to inform those individuals if the security of their information is compromised.
okay. the point is this: it's 2:15. i know none of this at noon--or almost none. i certainly wouldn't be able to put forward any opinion about whether SAN should be a key part of ERP and how that might benefit not only your SOX compliance, but also your CRM.
this will all fade quickly but i only need it 'til tomorrow afternoon at about 4 pm. one refresher tomorrow should do.
when i was in school, my fellow students used to hate me...!
