Policy and Procedure Software
Create a Policy and Procedure system people want to use.
Keeping employees trained and operating the right way is essential for success.
Unfortunately, most organizations spend thousands of dollars creating policy and procedure documents -- formatted 100 different ways -- that no one uses! Managing them is tough, especially at scale. And, if you are regulated, you have to be able to prove that people read and understand essential policies and procedures.
Better document management and automation tools only solve part of the problem.
Zavanta is the only solution that combines automation with the tools to ensure consistent, high-quality content and a better user experience.
Zavanta is the new standard for Policy and Procedure communication:
- Create policy and procedure content that is always clear, consistent, and complete.
- Deliver content across channels: mobile devices, web, print, manuals -- without hours of re-formatting.
- Standardize business processes into a single source of truth.
- Monitor policy and procedure usage with dashboards.
- Automate and control the complete life cycle without IT.
"SharePoint gave us no help in developing the policy and procedure documents. We wanted a more complete solution; one that would help us document our policies and procedures and provide better change management.”
Mahlon Meier, Senior Compliance Analyst, Colonial Savings
