What Companies like Yours Look for in Compliance Software
by Jacob Michael BusinessEvery day, hundreds of human resources managers, contract managers, legal administrators, compliance officers and other executives visit our site, looking for compliance management software. What are they looking for specifically, and what do our customers say first resonated with them about our software?
After surveying potential and current clients, here are the top five things companies like yours are looking for:
- Most organizations have Microsoft SharePoint, but don’t use it to its maximum potential. They know it, too. They appreciate SharePoint for its tight integration with Microsoft Active Directory groups, Exchange, Office and Outlook, but don’t have the resources to configure it the way they want it. Often, these organizations use SharePoint for the bare minimum, document storage, but know it’s capable of so much more. As a result, they start looking for policy, contract or conflict of disclosure (COI) management software that can be built on their existing, underused platform, and maximize SharePoint’s potential and usage.
- Some organizations approach us without any current processes, looking for software that they can build policy or contract workflows around. Other times, they have set processes in place — and while they need an automated system to help manage and make these workflows more efficient, they also want the system to mirror their current processes.
- All organizations need a system that is scalable and that will evolve and grow with them. Workflows will change, more people will become involved and the number of documents will grow — and the policy and contract management software needs to be capable of handling this growth. Fewer documents are easy to organize, but what happens when you have hundreds or thousands of policies and contracts, and multiple people need to be involved? The system needs to keep employees, documents and workflows organized, structured and easily searchable.
- An automated policy or contract management system that is supposed to help organizations get organized and up-to-speed quickly should be simple and quick to deploy and use. With compliance fines a constant concern, companies don’t have time to waste, and need software that takes days or weeks to deploy, not months.
- The system should be user-friendly enough that training, too, takes days, not weeks or months. It should be supported by a helpful IT support team and documentation for quick reference. Organizations look for software vendors that offer ongoing support and product upgrades — it demonstrates commitments to the industry, keeping customers’ businesses compliant and maintaining customer satisfaction.
You’ve been talking internally with your team about what you need to better your policy and contract processes, and you’ve also read about what you and teams like yours are looking for in compliance management software.
