The CoreStream team would claim that I say this about every release, but the level of excitement we all have about our 2.0 release is unmatched. It had to be significant to be worthy of the 2.0 label, and really is a step change.

We have introduced a new approach to Policy Management, providing a modern ‘web site like’ feel for those accessing policy and related content. Artificial Intelligence is now firmly embedded in the Platform, to help our clients evaluate their control definitions. We have continued the journey towards providing insightful and unique insight through introducing our new risk visualisation, and now offer admin user configurable dashboards (via the interface) and a fully featured configuration interface for clients! As if that wasn’t enough, we have also integrated with our sister company – VinciWorks – to provide a fully integrated eLearning capability!

In addition to these incredible features, we have integrated with a number of third-party systems and data sources and progressed towards making these achievable via menu driven configuration, automating the common threads in what is typically a deeply technical exercise.

As always, please do reach out to your primary CoreStream contact if you would like to discuss any of these features in detail or understand how they could be made available to you. If you are not yet using CoreStream and would like a demo, please contact us at demo@corestream.co.uk.
