Managing issues such as nonconformance, deviations, exceptions, loss-events, and process deviations is one of the central functions of an organization’s quality, compliance and risk management units. Relying on stand-alone point solutions or paper-based processes to manage issues is ineffective as they fail to address systemic problems due to a lack of broad enterprise reach and visibility. To successfully handle such incidents, managers need a powerful automation and collaboration tools as review and remediation activity often spans across departments.
