What can I use Ivis-GRC for?

Ivis-GRC can be used to document, manage and control any compliance process. From the simple:

• Email me if any changes are made to procedure X, or
• On day 5 of every month initiate a survey of all designated sales representatives to confirm that all commissionable sales have been submitted

To the potentially very complex or large:

• Document my SOX, Environmental Health & Safety and FDA testing and compliance
• Manage all of my contracts online

How do I transition from my current process without repeating all the work I have done in the past?

Ivis-GRC can be used to document your processes from scratch using our flowchart/workflow engine or you can upload your current flowchart files and lock them in the Ivis-GRC application. Ivis-GRC can then be set to report any changes made to the uploaded hardcopy.

We suggest however that to get full benefit from Ivis-GRC workflow capability, each time you make any changes to documented processes that you make them using Ivis-GRC flowcharting and workflow so that you can migrate to a situation where you are taking full advantage of Ivis-GRC.

Will auditors or regulators have a problem with Ivis-GRC?

If you use Ivis-GRC to document your processes, tests etc. as they know them today then you should have no issue with your auditors or regulators for implementing Ivis-GRC. If you have any doubt we recommend that you coordinate the changes with them.

Can I store my previous years’ documentation on Ivis-GRC?

Yes. You can upload soft copies of previous years’ documentation. We recommend using the document management module.

What technology is Ivis-GRC based on?

The Ivis-GRC platform is built on Boost, our Adobe ColdFusion based portal server for which the intellectual property was developed in house over the span of 3 years and has been in full production for over 6 years.
