"Technology is an enabler, it helps in establishing consistent practices and standards amongst all our risk disciplines."
"After deploying the MetricStream platform with Enterprise Risk, Business Continuity. Policy, Compliance and Issue Management, the company now has a visibility into risk and much stronger business resilience. We now use a common language and taxonomy with common definitions."
"There has been increased public pressure to improve governance and improve regulation -- even the regulators are being regulated."
"MetricStream is helping us improve the efficiency, tracking, and transparency of our quality management program by consolidating multiple types."
"Layering in technology such as MetricStream allowed us to have transparency of information, all in one place and across all of our offices and practices."
"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.”
“Bring the Business along: Technology can be implemented in short period of time but it needs to be accepted by and integrated to the business.”
“For GRC, we are looking to have a vision of how all these different spare pieces can come together and how we can tell the whole story."
“The MetricStream professional services organization enabled us to go live with the document management solution in a very smooth manner. We are very happy with our choice of MetricStream and look forward to deploying their CAPA and OOS applications as well to continue to automate our cGMP processes and significantly improve our operational efficiency.”
"Excellent risk management, supporting governance, and no small amount of capability really supported informed business decision making driven by risk."
"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."
"We chose MetricStream because of its industry-proven expertise and integrated solutions that address our specific requirements."
"We were very different cultures with a lot of disparate systems. We're starting to work with MetricStream to bring the real culture together at Western Digital."
"Technology is a key enabler. Without data that is accurate, timely, and meaningful, we are blind to our risks. Leveraging technology like MetricStream helps us gather the data that we need to make informed decisions.”
"One of the highlights of our GRC implementation is the successful use of the survey module as a global first level assurance activity. In the last 6 months alone, we've completed close to 10,000 first line assurance verification. This is supporting our control testing and eventually helping us to demonstrate the effectiveness of our controls."
