Brightmine has information you can trust!
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
It helps ensure policy compliance with the ever-changing rules and regulations. We have to ensure that the policies we offer to clients meet the local laws, down to the city and county regs. Being able to see a side-by-side comparison of the differences between the various cities/states really helps us customize the products that we offer clients. Brightmine keeps us in the loop with a calendar of all regulatory changes by city, state, and jurisdiction since it can vary from state to state or across a singular state. Reminders of deadlines are easily synced with your outlook so you can always see what's pending and upcoming.
Pros
- State comparisons.
- Upcoming compliance deadlines.
- Pending regulatory changes.
Cons
- More charts would be helpful.
- More emphasis on court cases pending.
- Regs to watch where courts could deem them as illegal.
Return on Investment
- Time on research.
- Definitely reduced time and money spent dealing with legal.
