Quality Improvement Director at a healthcare company with 51-200 employees
I like the ability to upload documents into files, the automated clearance process and that it's an intuitive solution.
What is most valuable?
What needs improvement?
Uploading PDF’s is more time consuming and you have to go in and out of multiple screens/functions.
If I want to upload a completed contract, for example, into a category, I have to click on system setting, document setup, import documents, upload the document, wait for the email message to come in that it’s completed the task, then open the document to do the properties wizard to save it in the category I want. Only DCA’s have this capability.
I’m trying to convince users that it is cleaner to save the signed version in policytech, where you can set an automated reminder to review the document (annually, e.g.), then to simply scan it and save it on a shared drive. Because there are so many steps to getting the document where you want, and it’s not really intuitive to the end user how to use this process, I’m stuck being the only one to manage this process.
When setting up Policytech initially, the trainer on the videos used the example of creating categories for things such as completed contracts; that’s what gave me the idea. Great concept but very time consuming.
For how long have I used the solution?
5 years between my current employer and as an employee at the State of Nevada.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
No problems.

857,028 professionals have used our research since 2012.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
No problems.
How are customer service and support?
10/10
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
No. I administered the staff at the State of Nevada who completed the informal bidding process of three different products in this line. At that time, PolicyTech stood out as a superior product. I have not researched competition since that time.
How was the initial setup?
Straightforward
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Worth every penny. Not a critical business process worth skimping on; its impact when fully introduced and utilized is incomparable.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
The organization used the shared drive but there were so many versions of documents spread throughout so many different folders and no way to determine which staff had read what.
What other advice do I have?
This is a very intuitive software program. As with any new product, you need your champion(s), starting with administration, and the set up takes time but is smooth and logical. We didn’t have enough policies and procedures for our organization so converting old documents was not as time consuming as it may be for well-established organizations with many documents. Regardless, very worth it in the long run.

Administrative Assistant at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
Allows us to prepare reports in the form of Excel spreadsheets, graphics and data based on specific periods of time.
Valuable Features
Allowing the input of investigation cases, the ability to track information and to compile data. It allows us to prepare detailed reports for different levels of the organization in the form of Excel spreadsheets, graphics, percentages of descriptive reports daily, monthly, yearly and number of cases per those periods. It gives the option to separate the cases by descriptions of each type case and/or by allegations only.
Improvements to My Organization
In addition to the ongoing process of receiving reports from the organization when anonymous callers would make reports through the hotline, we easily complete an Intake Form with the information received from NAVEX, prepare a file, review for either our office to investigate or if it is to be referred to another department or division. If referred out then we enter an assigned case number, confirm having the accurate file and update this by noting it in Global Compliance.
Room for Improvement
There is an area on the “New Case” screen that I have reported a while back that when we click the drop down boxy to select state, then onto select the city, the state selection selected is deselected, it’s selected again and the city is deselected but after a couple of selections with it only in that area it does maintain the selection. Otherwise, there's so much that I still need to learn, so I can’t say what else could be improved.
Use of Solution
Four to five years.
Scalability Issues
Nothing more than what I mentioned earlier.
Customer Service and Technical Support
Customer Service:
My experience is that they are professional and always ready to assist as best as possible. Each has demonstrated such genuine customer service! Customer Service Training could possibly be an additional tool developed by NAVEX.
Technical Support:It’s been a very long time since we had to call. When we did call, we were taken care of immediately, promptly and in a timely manner! It’s been awesome!
Implementation Team
Depending upon the needs within their organization being like ours, then everything I described would apply to them.
