Network Rail Case Study
“ECS were engaged to provide a solution
and in a matter of months produced a
simple, intuitive application running on
Microsoft SharePoint that addressed our
requirements. The solution went live earlier
this year and the result has been that the
legal department is now able to manage and
mitigate any risk of anti-bribery claims.
There has been a significant administrative
overhead reduction and the users have not
needed training, but were able to start using
the application from day one. ECS’s solution
has provided Network Rail with a great
benefit in terms of transparency and
efficiency via the self-serve nature of
application.”

1 Challenge
With a working relationship of over eight years and the implementation of anti-
bribery and anti-corruption legislation (UK Bribery Act 2010), Network Rail
approached ECS to develop an internal system that would not only be built in time
and satisfy this new legislature but was also user-friendly and easily integrated.
2 Solution
The iCompliance solution is a highly effective and intuitive management system that
provides a transparent way of logging and assessing declarations of conflicts of
interest and of gifts exchanged between an organisation and related 3rd
parties.
Built on the SharePoint platform, it provides full-text search facilities enabling users
to easily locate their content, and it is fully integrated with the Microsoft Office suite
and Active Directory, so the solution requires minimal set up and user training.
iCompliance features full approval/workflow routing, along with a flexible and
scalable security model to suit the needs of Network Rail. Key business users are
able to run usage reports against the solution, and also view audit logging
information to ensure data integrity and standards are maintained.
3 Outcome
ECS’ integration of iCompliance has allowed Network Rail to fulfill its regulatory and
legal obligations. The system helps to keep Network Rail liability free for the
foreseeable future.
