GIS’s InForm product
range currently consists of two industry specific web-based
interactive governance toolsets. They are:
InFormCorp (Companies);
and
InFormRF (Retirement
Fund).
Additional products tailored
for the public sector and NGO’s are planned for
release in the near future. Whilst based on a central
technology platform, each customized product is tailored
to meet industry specific governance requirements.
Product Features
The products pose high-level,
comprehensive sets of questions relating to various aspects
of governance pertaining to the organization to which
they are applied. The algorithmic-based Q&A
sets generate accurate data that translate into a measured
corporate governance status and progress perspective
thereby facilitating monitoring and benchmarking applications.
In addition, InForm provides
director/trustee and board evaluations which are scored
separately from the main questionnaires. This feature
is useful for board induction and best practice purposes.
All InForm products
offer the following main features:
A 'Dashboard' indicating
the organisation’s overall governance and compliance
rating as well as those of all subsidiaries;
A central repository for
all organisation-specific governance documentation
(e.g. Memorandum and Articles, all governance documentation
and corporate policies etc);
