Decernis

A manufacturer today faces a key challenge in tracking and managing the high volume and dynamic nature of regulatory and scientific events that may affect brand assets and which may occur in any part of the world, in short: Horizon-scanning. The challenge of horizon scanning is not only to track and identify an event of potential importance to the company, but also to have a common, enterprise view of such events and to manage them in a coherent way as issues toward their final resolution.

Decernis News and Issue Management provides a global means of scanning and coordination that can be linked to the company’s enterprise systems. It uses both automated and expert review. Our automated technologies, based on a Decernis patent, include a 4 million term multi-lingual lexicon and a technology base to scan and classify regulatory and scientific developments around the world for the identification of emerging risks. Our editorial group reviews the findings and manages the system on a daily basis.

Decernis News monitors regulatory changes in food, consumer, and industrial products. Significant developments and hot topics, such as proposed or final rules, notices, new standards or guidelines, health alerts, product recalls, or any other government or agency announcement are easily accessible in one system.

Decernis News and Issue Management is both delivered through the Decernis portal as well as through a customized push service - a newsletter - that is personalized to the interests of the user.

If you spend time searching many different web-sites in order to monitor regulatory developments, Decernis News will help you save time and manage risk. In addition, if you have an interest in specific substances and commodities, Decernis News analyzes and identifies them, giving you the capability to monitor substances and commodities in a consistent manner. Decernis also customizes Decernis News to specific user requirements on request.

In addition to the identification and early warning of developments is the need to manage emerging issues. The need is for:

A system to communicate and coordinate emerging issues;

A more effective means of communication and coordination of emerging issues;

A means of establishing metrics for such management; and,

A means of analyzing trends in emerging issues relevant to the company’s business.

Decernis News and Issue Management helps you manage highly dynamic events across the globe.
