Alton, UK. March 2007
Leading European enterprise GRC management software vendor, Achiever Business Solutions, has launched the first enterprise-wide portal capable of covering all areas of compliance across an organisation. The system is aimed at any organisation seeking a single, enterprise-wide portal based alternative that can deliver effective compliance management across all regulatory affairs, quality, process, corporate and team resources.
Combining power and performance, the portal serves as a unique gateway that can easily be embedded into existing intranets without disrupting working practises. In operation, the portal unifies all an organisation’s disparate systems, standards, policies, applications and resources across any number of sites and locations. Multiple areas of compliance can be included, such as regulatory, legislative and best practice, encompassing many specific industry compliance demands. Specific solutions for the most highly regulated industries and business areas include Sarbanes Oxley, Life Sciences and ISO 9000.
Traditionally, with disparate databases managing each area of compliance, users would have to search multiple systems to identify their tasks and alerts. This can lead to errors and omissions and increase the amount of time spent on managing tasks. The Achiever Plus Portal allows, individual context-sensitive, portal screens to be created, such as a CEO portal, an end user portal or portals for specific compliance areas like health and safety.
Now, each user can access a comprehensive list of those real-time, on-screen compliance management tasks that are most relevant to their everyday activities. Of particular note, is the added functionality of an on-screen RSS feed that ensures users are kept up to speed with relevant internal and external news, statistics or changes in policy.
A powerful state-of-the-art search engine allows users to perform context sensitive queries of multiple databases The system also includes Achiever Business Solutions’ unrivalled analysis facilities and comprehensive reporting functionality for generating incisive management documents.
Martin Evans, development director, Achiever Business Solutions says, “It is surprising that, to date, compliance systems have largely been based on fairly narrow paradigms looking purely at individual areas of the business. There has been no single portal based tool to unify all these areas across the enterprise.There is now.
“The new portal is the product of exhaustive focus group research from our existing clients and delivers fully on their requirements. We expect that many more organisations will be attracted to Achiever Business Solutions through interest in the portal, given that this is a unique offering.”
Early adopters of this new technology have experienced fast implementation and roll out and a speedy return on investment.
