Productivity

Although compliance is often associated with risk avoidance, it can also make your organization much more efficient. Generally speaking, efficiencies fall under two major categories

• Organizational efficiencies
  These are achieved by the digitization of rules. All organizations must follow external and internal rules. A solid compliance infrastructure allows for the digitization of those rules, thereby clearing the way for automation and standardization. In addition, processes and rules (e.g. audit) are reviewed on a process basis (as opposed to a case-by-case basis), ensuring much faster audits.
• People efficiencies
  People efficiencies are achieved by simplifying the process of following rules. In other words, if rules are embedded in a compliance environment, people will follow them automatically (e.g. interest rates associated with a certain credit rating). This allows for further standardization of work processes. The results are lower personnel expenses.

Security

Do your business processes cover everything they need to?

Ensure security and governance in your business. Compliance solutions such as Invoice Approval, ERP add-ons (SAP, Microsoft), and Electronic Records Management provide more security for your company and its management.

This means less risk and greater efficiency! Compliance solutions make this possible – as they…

• reduce the risk of failing to comply with laws, rules, and specifications (regulatory compliance, corporate governance);
• eliminate risks of increased liability through transparency of action and the traceability of business processes (process auditing);
• protect against unauthorized access, support encryption and digital signature processes, and ensure seamless security;
• ensure long-term storage including retention management/retrieval;
• guard against manipulation e.g. data, e-mails or documents, in accordance with legal and company guidelines to guarantee the highest level of legal certainty .

Simplification

The right software tool makes life easier for you and your employees.

Are you familiar with all of the rules and regulations at your company? Are you aware of every new law and directive? What about your employees? Are they up-to-date? Make your work easier - according to the rules. Just configure the rules once and then forget about them!

• Information is already there to use
  Simplification means that all of the information at your company will be available where it is needed in the process. Account data is readily accessible so you can verify payments or other transactions.
• All in one place - it doesn’t get any easier
  Simplification means that information is generated only once. A document located in your customer‘s file will be accessible from a project file but not duplicated. As a result, changes must be made only once and the updated file is visible whenever it is needed.
• Compliance is the only choice
  Simplification means that electronic processes will follow the myriad of rules and regulations by default. The compliant way will be the only possible way.

Agility

Compliance requirements often tie up resources and greatly limit your capacity for action.

Reputation

You have important business objectives! Reach your goals while at the same time building your company's reputation and establishing compliance requirements throughout the organization!

Therefore organizations must define comprehensive strategies. Some of the most respected brands are using compliance-oriented activities to foster their reputation both on- and offline:

• Compliance in services and manufacturing processes
  Managing and documenting the flow of information is just as important as using the right machines to manufacture your products. Customers and authorities alike have a keen interest in your supply chain, manufacturing methods, and environmental practices. Proper identification, filing, retention, and retrieval of related information is critical for maintaining production standards.
  
• Compliance in financial applications
  Finance is an area with a multitude of laws and regulations. Having a durable system for complying with governance and process regulations is invaluable, especially in the event of audits or litigation. At the same time, customers and suppliers expect rapid payments, fast responses, and good service. The ability to meet SLAs and deadlines in general has a substantial impact on an organization's overall image in the market. This influences brand perception, reputation, and ultimately cash flow.

SAPERION helps your organization address challenges to your reputation even before they become serious.
