What started with a dozen countries now covers more than 110 countries/regions around the globe and the coverage keeps on expanding. Over a thousand facilities around the globe rely on the Enhesa monitoring service to get an update on new, pending and future regulatory developments that impact them, and the business impact analysis to helps them to anticipate on these developments and implement appropriate responses. Every month some 500 regulatory and policy developments are screened and some 250 of them are further analyzed and reported upon because they may have an impact on business. The service is unique in its nature due to the geographic coverage, but also due to the fact that it is tailored to the needs of each and every customer. The service is now also being provided in a dozen different languages, with the possibility for the user to add in his comments to the reports, to contact the Enhesa regulatory experts for further advice, to search through the regulatory texts concerned, and many more features that can be implemented dependent on customer specifications.
