Compliance Management: Highlights

Workflow Capability
The Compliance Management module provides complete workflow automation of the compliance processes and enforces consistent business practices across business units, locations, and departments. The transition from human resource-intensive, manual and paper-based systems to an automated and workflow-based environment enables companies to substantially lower their compliance costs, reduce their risk of noncompliance and free-up personnel to focus on core business activities.

Collaborative Environment
The Compliance Management system increases efficiency by enabling the real-time collaboration between team members. The integrated portal technology with user access control allows interaction within users across departments, functional areas, and locations, without any barriers or delays or loss of security.

Usability
MetricStream Compliance Management solution is designed from ground up to provide intuitive structure and navigation. Innovative features such as text-suggest, drag-and-drop, Ajax, context sensitive menus, automatic validations, and field defaulting and cascading minimize data entry errors and improve user productivity.

Attachments
MetricStream offers an integrated document repository. Documents and files such as process narratives, flow charts, and SOPs in any format, such as Adobe PDF, MS Word and MS Excel can be attached at any stage of the process as supporting information and evidence. All attachments are centrally stored and users participating in the compliance program can access and view these files at any time, based on their role and access privileges.

Migration of Control Hierarchy
MetricStream ships with tools to migrate customers' existing compliance and controls hierarchy into the solution to preserve the documentation already in place. It provides seamless integration capability to retrieve structured and unstructured data from databases, files, document repositories and other enterprise applications.
