Join the Sarbanes-Oxley Collaboration

"What if your staff didn’t have to duplicate the same efforts that dozens or hundreds of other similar companies are doing? What if the concept of reusability could be extended outside your enterprise to leverage efforts and assets of your peers? The result would be less work for your staff, increased innovation, and a more collaborative approach to the problems every corporation has.

That’s the promise of Avalanche: To benefit from the shared expertise, experience, and intellectual property of a community of peers that will develop solutions to common problems and then maintain, improve, and extend those solutions." - Avalanche Cooperative White Paper (PDF)
