"One of the challenges that we face is to understand, communicate, and take action on the many regulatory changes that occur across programs and product lines. The MetricStream GRC tool will help us standardize and streamline processes to manage regulatory change effectively. It will also help ensure that regulatory change is consistently executed and delivered throughout the organization.”

“We have engaged [on the MetricStream Community] throughout the implementation and found the interactions and materials quite useful.

It enabled us to add value to the management team, and act as partners to the business.”

"Before we had manual duplicated workflows but now it's automated and efficient. Before we had siloed GRC data- compliance has one set of data, risk has one, audit has one, BCP has one. Now it's a single GRC data repository with clear ownership of each data elements and strong data governance. Before risk was seen as the work of the risk function now risk is everyone's business."

"Our approvals are consistently done within the system, we have issue management beyond the audit cycle, our quarterly and annual reporting execution time has been reduced significantly. QA efforts have been redirected to higher value work due to workflow and system checks."
