If in your current state, your audit team has to spend time creating work papers manually and then saving them and going back and looking at them, that’s a manual step that is something that could be easily repeated in Onspring that ends up saving a lot of time. Looking at how much time were we spending on admin work in the past and now how much time are we pivoting that toward audit work—time, saving time is a big ROI with Onspring.
With automated processes in place, organizations save time and ensure best practices are implemented to improve overall operational efficiency. Using a GRC platform like Onspring can help you automate many, many different kinds of jobs. You can build custom workflows for repetitive tasks, create triggers to remind you when something is due, set up approval paths, auto-generate email notifications—our no-code platform makes a lot of things easy.
For all that you do and are trying to accomplish with the use of your platform, there has to be some form of accountability within the confines of using it within your company. That means validating the controls, testing procedures and risks, etc. Without accountability, without the audit element of someone coming in and saying, “Here is what is supposed to be done,” you will find yourself missing a key letter in GRC.
At Onspring, figuring out the complexities of GDPR has been a complicated task, but helping customers through the wilderness of the law has been a challenge we relish. I talked with of few of our associates who dealt with intricacies of the law itself and found out just how much Onspring was able to help with the overall effects many organizations faced when first dealing with it.
Enacted on June 28, 2019, and effective January 1, 2020, the CCPA grants California consumers additional rights with respect to their personal information and requires certain entities that conduct business in California to take steps to track, grant access to, manage, and report on this data.
What can a BCDR tool do for your company—or to be more direct, what can Onspring’s solution do for your business? A lot, so let’s take a look. After you initially put together a BCDR plan specifically for your company, when implementing it with Onspring you can leverage it so it will work at its best in any capacity.
The purpose of Connect is to give the Onspring community—my colleagues, our clients and hopeful prospects—a place to meet, talk and learn about the new functionalities that Onspring has as well as the enhancements we’re planning. When we first conceived the conference, we wanted Connect to be a free-thinking gathering that wouldn’t just enhance our clients’ experience, but also raise up our involvement and understanding with them.
Over the years, I’ve enjoyed the pleasure of travelling to various events, trade shows and user group conferences. The more I met and interacted with others, the more I observed that my clients—and prospective clients—are looking for the same connection with like-minded individuals who share the same passion and interests. It’s the same reason we’re often asked to provide references, and whether we know it or not, we’re thinking, “I’d like to speak with someone who is like me and is solving a similar challenge to the one I’m dealing with.”
You’re probably wondering, ‘How does this relate to a business process automation tool?’ It’s all about sharing excitement. Being part of the department that interacts with all Onspring clients, I want them to be as excited about sharing their success with our platform as I am about my painter.
Being a project manager (PM) can be a tough gig; when everything is going fine, you may, at times, be viewed with disdain: a mere “meeting scheduler” who collects status updates from the key stakeholders and SMEs, reporting them upwards. When everything isn’t going fine, they are in the cross-hairs of everyone: the key stakeholders, the SMEs and the higher-ups they report to.
There are a lot of places where you can find reviews of Onspring’s platform, but only a handful from the real, vetted voices of users. Gartner’s Peer Insights website showcases vendors and products with reviews from real customers. Onspring is honored that our customers expressed their views of our solutions on this site and our overall rating on Peer Insights is five stars.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure this out, but I think I’m finally getting there. When I buy a cheap tool, I’m happy to not have spent much money, but the happiness ends there. I end up with an ill-performing tool that doesn’t meet my expectations and it takes me longer to produce poor results, and inevitably, a terrible case of buyer’s remorse envelopes me.
