With new patent-pending technology and more than 15 new tools, RegScan has revolutionized regulatory compliance. Parallel Topical Search (patent-pending) enables users to simultaneously research Federal and state regulations by common sense topical areas. By enabling users to look at the Federal and state regulations by a topic in a side-side format, a user can quickly and easily determine if there is any regulatory difference and what that difference is. RegScan GCS 2.0 has also changed traditional searching by creating easy-to-use interfaces for both the power and the occasional user. Other specialized features make it easier to see and understand regulatory change. RegScan GCS 2.0's strikethrough feature lets a user quickly compare different versions of a regulation with the current version. Deleted text displays with strikethrough and added text with redline. The customizable dashboard allows users to select what changed data and alerts they want displayed on their splash screen. RegScan GCS 2.0 has also increased the usability of drilling into the regulations by creating a hierarchical drill down and breadcrumb trail. Hierarchical drilldown graphically lays out the regulatory hierarchy found in the regulations and enables users to mouse over the regulations to see the content and quickly determine which regulation fits the user needs. The breadcrumb trail allows users to navigate backward through the regulatory levels, which helps the user quickly find where they need to go. Audit Applicability allows the user to profile the requirements for a specific facility and to easily monitor regulatory changes that impact each profile. All these features and others have made RegScan GCS 2.0, the easiest and most powerful regulatory compliance tool on the Internet.
