The Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Patriot Act, SEC Rule 17a-4, HIPAA and other recent government legislation are increasing the pressure for today's private and public organizations to ensure that their business processes and information systems are compliant. Real businesses have already experienced the extreme cost of failing to manage electronic records in a compliant manner with enormous fines, lost customers, and even complete business failures. 

In this time of increased regulatory compliance activity, there is a clear requirement for a product that not only is suited to process management geared toward regulatory compliance but also the day-to-day compliance with business practices that gives a company a competitive edge over its business rivals.
