Demand for i-Sight Investigation Software on the Rise as Corruption Crackdown Continues

Demand for i-Sight Investigation Software is on the rise as federal agencies continue cracking down on bribery and corrupt business practices. Customer Expressions (www.customerexpressions.com), the company responsible for producing i-Sight, a family of integrated, hosted software solutions for case management, is set to have a record-breaking year.

The increasing pressure for global anti-corruption compliance, spurred by the implementation of the UK Bribery Act, has companies taking a long hard look at their internal systems and ensuring their policies and ethics codes are up to date and enforced. Combined with the increase in crackdowns on FCPA violations in the US and pressure from the OECD for its member countries to monitor and police corruption, the demand for systems that aid compliance is robust.

"Companies need to show that they've done their homework when it comes to compliance," says Joe Gerard, Vice President, Marketing and Sales. In fact, effective documentation, reporting tools and the ability to self-disclose violations can equate to reduced penalties for ethics and compliance mistakes.

"Since the i-Sight Case Management Software (http://i-sight.com) provides users with the tools they need to quickly and accurately report on incidents and investigations, it's a natural fit for companies looking to cover their bases in terms of compliance," says Gerard. "We are seeing lots of interest from companies that are getting their houses in order so that they are prepared should they need to defend themselves against charges of ethics violations."

"We're experiencing 85 per cent growth year-on-year," says Gerard, "and our staffing has increased by 25 per cent to keep up with the increase in business."

In fact, the company is running out of room at its current headquarters in Ottawa, and its directors are looking for new office space to handle the expansion.

It's a good problem to have for this 12-year-old technology firm, started in 1999 by four partners looking to capitalize on the niche they saw open at the time for customer complaint handling software. Over the years, the product has evolved along with the increasing demand for case management software to track investigations, but the company's steadfast belief in customer service and support as the cornerstone of a successful enterprise hasn't wavered.
