Information Resource for Today's Compliance Organizations

Keeping your organization on top of important changes in the regulatory arena is time-consuming and expensive. It is challenging to gather, filter, and interpret the ever-increasing volume of regulatory information, especially as it applies to various business lines and functions. Even once intelligence is pulled together and analyzed, sharing the right information within compliance and throughout your organization is not straightforward. Without standardized information-gathering tools and distribution processes, individuals and groups in your organization might not be consistent in the way they interpret and act on regulatory events, thereby exposing your business to risk.

By making it easier to find, understand, and share information from regulatory bodies, Fortent Inform™ increases the productivity of compliance organizations while lowering costs. Incorporating Fortent Inform into the workflow should save 10-15% of the overall compliance costs for an organization, and reduce regulatory risk.

Risk to the compliance workflow:

• Too much information from too many sources – are you overlooking what's important?
• Everyone interpreting "legs and regs" differently – is your process inefficient and inconsistent?
• Information flow isn't tracked – do you know how informed your organization is?

Using this function, Fortent helps clients construct messages and deliver them to groups of employees as changes in the regulatory environment affect them.
