Regulated utilities need to make numerous filings with regulators including legal pleadings, reports and testimony in a wide variety of matters. These filings are of interest to many departments in the company and are often reviewed and commented upon by numerous employees and officers
PleaseReview facilitates the formal review by multiple parties of the documents necessary to ensure compliance. The unique collaborative review process offered by PleaseReview enables the complex inter-dependencies inherent in such documentation to be simultaneously reviewed by the interested parties in a controlled environment. The inbuilt audit trail ensures no comments get 'lost' and provides a full summary of the review for governance purposes. This improves both the efficiency and effectiveness of the process.
case study
Westar Energy is the largest electric energy provider in Kansas. It serves approximately 673,000 customers and its business includes the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity.
Due to the number of documents Westar must file and the large number of editors, management of the document drafting process was becoming a significant overhead. Westar wanted a product that would allow multiple editors to comment on the same draft of a document at the same time and that would allow the editors to see and comment upon remarks made by other editors. After a comprehensive market survey and evaluation, Westar selected PleaseReview.
Martin J. Bregman, Executive Director of Law at Westar, explains: “PleaseReview was the only product that we found that provides the collaborative drafting and review capabilities we need. We have found that PleaseReview is easy to learn and use. The ability to access PleaseReview through the Internet allows us to include outside consultants and attorneys in the document review and drafting process.”
