One of the major issues, when The Improvement Practice works with different organisations, is the amount of time and effort needed to ensure that the company remains compliant with the different regulations and standards. And as market and regulatory expectations develop, this is only going to become worse. This often leads to a sudden concentration of effort and resources when audit time comes around.  Often the problem is that the compliance processes and related systems have been built up over time, as the need for compliance has grown, leading to discrete elements that need management time and effort to make them work.

Looking at the analysis of managing the AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) compliance in a comparison between Library Suite and Microsoft's SharePoint, Library Suite looks like a very good alternative to the traditional approaches to managing compliance. Both in terms of the high level of integration and automation of administrative tasks, it gave a predicted 90% time saving, that means, management can concentrate on building the business and the time saved means that compliance is easier to manage and maintain. Having compared the costs and features of these two systems, it is clear that Library Suite offers more as a cost effective way of managing compliance.
