Law changes happen every day. Legal registers based on such laws will invariably be out-of-date within the quarter that they are printed. Without a system that automatically responds to law updates, there will undoubtedly be large amounts of billable hours incurred to periodically refresh the registers by third parties. By updating the register in-house such costs are virtually eliminated.

The timeous response to legal amendments affords the company the ability to align with developing requirements swiftly, and thus reduce the risk to the employees and the legal costs associated with non-compliance.

It simplifies this process by allowing you to organise your company's applicable legal and other requirements in one knowledge base that can be monitored and assessed by various criteria that include; evaluating compliance and determining significance.

Assessing is not only critical to determining new obligations that pose a significant risk to your company, but also monitoring compliance with your existing legal and other requirements.

The DLEX Assessment Manager provides you with the facility to visually identify the significant topics within your register utilising custom criteria and formulae.

DLEX provides you with a comprehensive system for monitoring your company's legal obligations. As soon as law is amended, DLEX will provide you with clear notifications of the affected law extracts used in your legal register and a side-by-side comparison showing the 'old vs new' legislation.

The benefits are invaluable. Being constantly made aware of law changes and where your legal register and business operations are impacted, will maximize your ability to show compliance, while allowing you to react quickly in areas where action may be required.
