Once upon a time, there was a company that was looking to purchase compliance software. The software and manual processes that the firm was using to manage compliance just weren’t keeping up with the firm’s growth and it was time to move on.
But like Goldilocks in the classic tale of the Three Bears, they found that not all compliance software was just right.
Like Goldilocks, the compliance team had to try out different options to find the compliance solution that was just right for their needs - not too big, not too small, not too complicated, and not too simple.
First, the team tried a solution that was just too small. It was inexpensive but lacked the functionality and flexibility that the firm needed to manage their compliance program. While it was easy to use, this software had very limited features and did not cover all of their compliance needs or meet all of their requirements. The product also did not come with much guidance during implementation or customer service after it was deployed. The company felt like they were left on their own to figure out how to use the system, which was a risk they couldn’t afford to take. It was like the porridge that was too cold for Goldilocks to eat.
Competing Priorities Drive the Need for Compliance Technology
Next up, the team continued their search for compliance software by looking at the most expensive and comprehensive options available. They tried out a system that was costly and difficult to use, with features that they didn't really need. The solution offered a wide range of features and promised to meet all their compliance needs. However, when they began to use the software, they found it to be too complex and difficult to navigate. It was overwhelming, and they struggled to figure out how to use it effectively. The company felt like they were drowning in information and couldn’t find what they needed among all the clutter. It was like the porridge that was too hot.
