Abstract
For a corporation to implement an IT project, in general, had been treated as a “technology” deployment. During the recent years, due to the technology has become more standardized and less additional new technology needed, the business process has become more and more impor-tant to introduce a successful project.
This thesis is base on a business case of a leading security software corporation to deliver an IT JSOX compliance project which is newly announced by Japan government to enforce the pub-lic companies which are listed in Japan stock exchange market. According to the nature of this company are a technology leading corporation which might need to closely chase the fast pace technology in the world in order to sustain its leading position. Once the company needs to adopt the JSOX requirements, it introduces the necessities of standard processes and tight approval processes which somehow violate the core culture of this company.
However, this is a legal requirements to comply; therefore, there is a specific project team has been formed and successfully passed auditing for 2 successive years. In order to understand how the project team has been successful to give an analysis to generate the valuable key factors for other similar corporation which might have similar type of projects to implement for refer-ences, this research using the technological frame theory model to identify the indicators by giv-ing interviewing with several key members of this project team and try to find out something in-teresting and valuable findings and suggestions.
Along with the research, we shall look into how and why the JSOX compliance been formed; key compliance framework in the IT industry that are also perform the similar approach-ing; the key factors and relationship of the organization behavior and personal behavior; also the theory of technological frame’s methodology. Base on the reference theories and frameworks; try to build up the linkage between the case itself with and gathering the finding in between. Also, base on the theories described, through the semi-constructed interviewing methodology to give individual interviewing with several key members of the JSOX project team of the company to come out the basis of this research.
Finally, base on the findings have been generated from this research, also my past experience on the implementation of IT projects, summarize the key factors of the success of the im-plementation of the project described and also give the additional suggestions for further imple-mentation, hope to give a full set of reference items for a company who might have the same sit-uation and needs to deploy the compliance-like IT projects. Hopefully, from the planning till full implementation life cycle, the result can help this kind of enterprise to have a better provision to the potential situation they will need to face to.
