We live in an increasingly digitised and automated world,enjoying digital applications and technologies that were thought to be science fiction just a few short years ago.With the click of a button or the swipe of a finger,we can research our ancestry,make a hotel reservation,schedule appointments,file taxes,track a package,check the balance of our 401K accounts-the possibilities are seemingly endless.And all this information is available 24 hours a day,seven days a week,365 days a year: an infinite reservoir of data that can be accessed at any time,from anywhere.This digital flood of informational self-service has made it easier to find the facts and figures you need,when you need it-even at 2am if need be-with the help of cloud-based Software as a Service(SaaS)applications that are always ready to help answer your most pressing questions.This information self-service revolution has also made regulatory and compliance research easier,opening global access to material previously available only through hard copy,or through a technical support hotline.While not all compliance information has been-or can be-digitised,the amount of regulatory knowledge available on the internet is staggering,and cloud-based computing has further transformed the way compliance is managed.
