C2P Preserves NI Compliance Knowledge in One Place

“We need to ensure that products meet current, stringent environmental compliance legislation”

NI pushes the limits of innovation, so their customers can build a better business – and a better world. NI equips engineers and scientists with systems that accelerate productivity, innovation, and discovery.

As an Environmental Program Manager for NI, Tyler Shanks needs to ensure that products meet current, stringent environmental compliance legislation, as well as be prepared for regulatory changes coming down the line.

The Challenge

  • I need to ensure our products meet current, stringent environmental compliance legislation, as well as be prepared for regulatory changes coming down the line.
  • Working across multiple industries, from aerospace to life sciences and from energy to consumer electronics, we need to interpret the applicability of regulatory changes to NI’s product portfolio and develop systems to ensure we are compliant.
  • It may not be obvious, but companies spend a significant amount of time assessing the same law, which wastes time and resources.
We need to interpret the applicability of regulatory changes to NI’s product portfolio and develop systems to ensure we are compliant.

The Benefits

  • Because of the way C2P structures the information, it provides the ability to monitor, track, and assess different portions of laws, and their applicability, across various portions of the organization.
  • For instance, C2P allows reviewing a law at a low level, forwarding questions to our legal team, tracking all conversations along with the law, and storing that data in one location.
  • C2P prevents repeated assessing of the same law, and provides the ability to track laws as they evolve through legislative bodies globally.
C2P secures preservation of our corporate compliance knowledge in one place.
