citationConnect
citationConnect is about creating a superior regulatory compliance solution simply by joining CyberRegs' regulatory content with 3rd party EHS compliance providers' applications.citation is unique in its ability to convert document sets from "flat, dumb text" to intelligent content by converting the content to a database, complete with an XML Schema Definition that defines the document structure in minute detail. Because of this level of detailed data definition, citation can precisely track changes over time, including not only WHAT has changed, but HOW it has changed. This ability to track change, and to treat documents like data sets, is the key to citation's unique ability to interoperate with other business applications. citation then delivers automated change visibility to your business applications, whether a commercial off-the-shelf system or your own internal compliance and task management systems, via citationConnect.
The citationConnect API is fully supported by the Citation Technologies team to deliver steady state content change visibility to your IT infrastructure. The leading commercial EMIS (Environmental Management Information Systems) and CMS (Compliance Management Systems) have already integrated with citationConnect to power their clients' deployments with this 'evergreen' capability, including IHS - Environment Solutions.
Some of the many business uses:
- citation delivering EHS regulatory change notifications to leading Global multi-nationals, enabling them to know automatically what applies to each facility, when an applicable requirement changes, and providing them the ability to document applicability assessment for compliance assurance.
- Clients publishing internal documents (like Global Process Safety Management standards) on the citation platform for global access. Our technology enables dynamic interlinking and cross-referencing, so that a PSM standard will dynamically link to all relevant standards, test methods, and regulations (such as CFRs, ASTM, ISO, and more). Clients can even include forms, spreadsheets, and guidance documents. Whenever a PSM standard changes (or a supporting standard), users are notified immediately - globally.
- Our multi-national clients combine our technology with our international EHS regulatory service - over 80 countries and 110 jurisdictions - to effectively manage Global EHS compliance for both Operations and Products, all integrated with their existing task and compliance workflow applications.
This unique coupling of CyberRegs' content and industry compliance management provides EHS personnel a highly effective and efficient manner to create lists of citations applicable to the aspects of a facility that are automatically monitored for change. EHS personnel are notified automatically as often as regulatory change occurs, thereby saving time and money in an effort to optimize the company's compliance performance.
