Good automation and analytics, but is costly
The report model was our main concern. I believe currently the solution uses a third party for the reporting. As part of a consulting firm, one of the challenges we face is the difficulty in producing reports that meet the expectations of our clients and customers. It would be beneficial if the focus could be shifted toward improving the reporting aspect. The impact report is a crucial aspect, as we only have one opportunity to create it. Galvanize HighBond can improve by generating more impact reports post-project, and allowing access to the reports using a web version, which would greatly benefit us. The cost of the solution is expensive and needs improvement.

The streamlined process of getting policies out to all staff in a quick efficient manner has been most valuable.
Currently we have monthly competencies that the 2 Staff Development Departments would initiate by a manual paper process and have to track staff down for all 3 shifts. Since we have started placing these items on Policytech, we have had a much better compliance rate as the staff are able to do it and it automatically records responses and results. Staff either read a document or view a powerpoint and then have a survey to answer, they have to receive a passing grade and if they pass they then receive the competency for that specific training. What we would like to add would be to be able to have Templates for certificates as we have different types of programs that have specific required documentation on the certificates, currently the certificates are one size fits all and that doesn’t work for us. So we are running a weekly report and manually send staff certificates. Another area is tracking Writer, Reviewer, and Approver statuses.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"In one year we were able to accomplish what we could not in our 3 year Archer contract, and we did it with half the consulting services and one-third the administrators."
"We have far more visibility into our compliance, risks and controls over the areas we are managing versus accepting risk, and Rsam has also been extremely helpful with the annual audits we receive from our regulators."
"The most valuable feature is automation."
"This solution gives an opportunity for anonymous hotline complaints."
"The streamlined process of getting policies out to all staff in a quick efficient manner has been most valuable."
"Allowing the input of investigation cases, the ability to track information and to compile data, it allows us to prepare detailed reports for different levels of the organization in the form of Excel spreadsheets, graphics, percentages of descriptive reports daily, monthly, yearly and number of cases per those periods."
"Worth every penny. Not a critical business process worth skimping on; its impact when fully introduced and utilized is incomparable."
"It has made all the policies available in one accessible location for people to use them."
"PolicyTech has probably been the most reliable solution we have and it's been the most stable solution over the last eight years, compared to any other information technology solution we've had."
"The company is always timely, they always have good suggestions, and they always have quick fixes for me."
"Technical support is excellent."
 

Cons

"While they don't need as much consulting to get the product implemented, I do wish they had more available."
"The cost of the solution is expensive and needs improvement."
"We had some problems in middle of July, when we stopped getting our email notifications."
"Uploading PDFs is more time consuming and you have to go in and out of multiple screens/functions."
"The one thing that I noticed was, it times out sometimes."
"What we would like to add would be to be able to have templates for certificates as we have different types of programs that have specific required documentation on the certificates, currently the certificates are one size fits all and that doesn’t work for us."
"The reporting functions are terrible."
"Truthfully, the hardest part is that there are some little setup things that need to be done before people can actually use PolicyTech."
"Recent product update led to confusion."
"We get a huge amount of complaints from users about the email system. They get lots and lots of emails, and they don’t necessarily have a good way to manage them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I give the cost of the solution a six out of ten."
