The solution provides a scalable, unified environment for managing corporate performance and the regulatory information lifecycle.

An enterprise risk management (ERM) solution, the BWise compliance suite helps companies to identify, manage and monitor key business risk and performance indicators, and comply with regulatory requirements such as those imposed by Sarbanes-Oxley, IFRS, Basel II, ISO standards, and European Corporate Governance Codes.

Specifically, the suite addresses the following critical ERM activities:

o Financial reporting (internal control);
o Legislative and regulatory compliance;
o Operational risk management;
o Strategic decision support;
o IT governance, and
o Corporate process control.

When combined with FileNet P8, the solution is ideal for large organizations looking to deploy an enterprise-wide, secure and scalable governance, risk and compliance framework. FileNet's market-leading enterprise content management (ECM) platform, FileNet P8, is a reliable and highly available enterprise platform that enables companies to capture, store, manage, secure and process information to increase operational efficiency and lower total cost of ownership.

The BWise solution is enhanced by FileNet's email and records management capabilities. FileNet Email Manager and Records Manager offer full records management and email capture and classification capabilities that adhere to regulatory requirements -- including specific capabilities surrounding retention and disposition processes, legal holds and vital records. Additionally, FileNet offers its innovative ZeroClick technology, which automatically and invisibly enforces RM policy, reducing the burden and error potential associated with making records management decisions.

Additionally, FileNet P8 further extends the corporate performance management capabilities in the BWise solution. Leveraging FileNet's BPM capabilities, companies can optimize the underlying business processes that run their organizations, to deliver improved productivity, superior service, increased operational visibility, and adaptability.
