CompliantPro

There actually are no positive points that I can think of for Compliant Pro ... Other than its predecessor "QSi" was a far better product.

It would require an entire rewrite of the software to change Compliant pro to a product which is user friendly and effective for the organization.

1- Compliant Pro does not posses the capabilities of Office 365. Therefore users of the product tend to attach Office 365 generated documents to Compliant pro (which appears in text format not picture) and use the function of Compliant Pro for approval or rejection. Where this might have been effective a couple of decades ago.... Today .... with SharePoint... its completely unnecessary. Why use MS Office to create documents and attach them to Compliant pro for approval, why not just use the tools Microsoft provides> 2- Attempting to use the software to assign action items for the organizations staff to use for Corrective, improvement or calibration activities is the most convoluted and hateful process anyone could encounter. Users will move through several screens of text based attachments none of which can be navigated using the simple functions of a web page. 3- Documents in Compliant Pro as as easy to find as a needle in an hay stack. Even with categorization the software returns literally pages of documents as possibilities which the user must search to find the correct document. In my several years of using the software, its never returned a search which pointed directly to the document I needed. Its easier just to download all of a document type into Excel and sort them from there.... 4- The software is not easy to manage. It requires the employment of a specialist to setup and maintain the software on a daily basis. The other alternative is to retain an employee of IBS to maintain the organizations software. IBS will tell the organization their software requires no maintenance however this is profoundly untrue 5- Customization? Forget it, IBS will customize the software at a clients request however, they will not guarantee future updates will work from that point foreword. Therefore all organizations adopting this software must manage their organization to meet the design of the software (not the other way round). 6- Employees dislike this software.... its so convoluted, its frustrating to use, causing employees to avoid it instead of embracing it. This in turn causes audit findings with registrars, because employees are observed during audits using a document which is not the "Compliant Pro" version, simply because they can't find he documents they need in Compliant Pro without endless hours of searching.....

Compliantpro Software is fully web-based compliance software which provides the modules used in creation of a completely integrated system which then offers quality calibration management. The software has adaptable solutions such as Document Control, CAPA, Assessments, Training & Calibration & Preventative Maintenance, Environmental Aspects and Impacts, and Health & Safety Hazard Analysis and Control.

The only problem could be the fact that this software does not have a trial version out. This means that when interested, you are not provided with a sample to first try out for a couple of months so as to monitor is it will work well for your company before buying the complete version. Apart from this, the performance of the software is effective.

This is highly recommended software for a calibration centre that needs to have an improved management process. This software centers all activities into its feeds so that every calibration is monitored from the application and data reflects as per the different clients that have been attended to on a daily process. It is a must have software for calibrations.

In addition to mapping risks and internal controls, the holistic approach to CompliantPro shows how the main elements of the organization interact, providing organizations with a clear and shared vision of the operating model. This will allow managers to make better decisions, ensure that the systems are working properly, and lead the efforts of employees to work in alignment with governance strategy. To support this process, management panels providing updated information on the status of risk and compliance activities, as well as performance indicators can be created quickly.

CompliantPro offers tangible benefits to the business, with consistent processes and integrated into the departments and functions, real-time visibility and easy access to data risk and compliance, and a collaborative environment to improve cooperation between the teams. It is an integrated solution, which results in a transparent organization, with streamlined processes, significantly reducing costs and time, reduction of risks and controls, and numerous alternatives for improving business performance.

The solution integrates all the key elements of risks, policies, laws / regulations, loss events, risk indicators, performance indicators, problems, assessments, action plans and audits. This allows companies to easily visualize how each element impacts the others. The integrated approach to CompliantPro removes many obstacles to implementing solutions across the organization. It facilitates planning, supports multiple methodologies and conducts risk management in various lines of business and functional groups, enhancing both IT governance and corporate governance.
