The Phrontex platform

The Phrontex platform is a web application for managing the knowledge essential for a corporate governance management system. It manages your documentation as a body of knowledge, not as a collection of documents.

Phrontex is easier to use, easier to audit, and less work to maintain than traditional documentation. It delivers a better result, with less effort.

Traditional documentation is not fit for purpose

Traditional documentation doesn't work

Traditional documentation doesn’t work for corporate governance.

A governance management system has to be documented as a single body of knowledge. You have to be able to see the mapping from your compliance requirements to the policies and procedures in place to meet them. And you have to be confident that everything remains mutually consistent and up-to-date in the face of continuing internal and external changes.

This just can’t be done with separate documents.

Corporate knowledge maintained in a set of documents will always have overlaps, gaps, and contradictions, and be somewhat out-of-date.

Building the governance culture

Build and sustain the culture of good governance

Governance practitioners have a problem: the better they do their work, the less visible it is. Success is measured in non-events: the accidents that didn’t happen, the penalties that weren’t incurred, the litigation you weren’t involved in.

And sadly, low visibility often comes to mean low importance.

Phrontex makes governance visible and highlights its importance, at every level in your organization. It helps you build and sustain a culture of good governance.

Documentation that adds value

Your organization probably spends a lot of management hours, year on year, creating and maintaining documentation. That expenditure of time should be building a major asset.

But in practice, most traditional documentation simply depreciates and dies. The document is issued, your organization moves on, the document fades into obsolescence.

In Phrontex, your body of knowledge gains value year on year because changes and improvements are cumulative.

Make it happen…

Eliminating the documentation time lag

Any time lag between decision-making and documentation puts you and your organization at risk: your documentation says one thing, your people are doing something else. Until your documentation catches up (if it ever does!) you have a risk of compliance failure.

With Phrontex, the documentation itself is how you record and communicate your operational decisions. So your documentation is always up-to-date; and your people are notified automatically when there are changes.

If it isn’t short and simple it doesn’t work

In traditional documentation, on average 65 percent of the content is obsolete, duplicated, or irrelevant.

It’s hard to get people to read anything these days. Unless your content is immediately accessible, presented in pages that are very short and simple, your documentation serves no purpose.

Phrontex eliminates the dross, delivering content that is simple, succinct, and clean. Fewer pages for your people to read, for your managers to maintain, for your auditors to validate.
