FAQs

What is “Regulation & Code Management” as offered by Esper?

Esper’s Regulation & Code Management module is a platform that moves rulemaking and regulatory drafting out of disconnected tools (spreadsheets, emails, shared drives) and into a unified, auditable workflow. It supports collaborative drafting, version control, automated publishing, compliance deadlines, and AI-powered search across your regulations. Esper

Which organizations or agencies is this solution built for?

It’s primarily targeted at government agencies (state, local, regulatory bodies) that must manage, publish, and enforce rules, codes, or regulations. It helps modernize the regulatory process in a transparent, auditable fashion.

What are the key capabilities or features?

Some of the core features include:

  • Collaborative drafting with versioning and redlines

  • Workflow and approval routing (assign owners, set deadlines, send reminders)

  • Automated publishing in appropriate formats

  • AI-enabled search to quickly find portions of regulations with citation support

  • Task management and visibility into bottlenecks
How does version control / redline tracking work?

Esper maintains all drafts, redlines, and versions within a single system. That ensures every change is tracked, auditable, and tied to the appropriate approval steps, so stakeholders can always see “who changed what when.”

How does the system handle deadlines and compliance schedules?

Every rulemaking task (e.g. drafting, review, public comment, approval) is assigned an owner and due date. The system sends reminders, tracks overdue items, and makes bottlenecks visible so leadership can intervene.

How quickly can agencies implement Esper?

Typical implementation takes 2–5 months, depending on agency size and data complexity. Esper’s professional services team handles configuration, workflow mapping, testing, and training to ensure a smooth launch.

Can policies be shared publicly?

Yes. Agencies can choose to publish policies publicly via Esper’s Publication module, which provides a searchable, ADA-compliant library for citizens and staff.

Does Esper support analytics or reporting?

Absolutely. Esper includes reporting dashboards and analytics that show policy engagement, attestation rates, and workflow efficiency, helping leadership identify compliance gaps and optimize processes.

What makes Esper’s approach different from generic consulting?

Esper brings both domain expertise in government policymaking and a built product ecosystem. The analysis is not just academic. It’s practical and aligned with how Esper’s tools can support the improvements you’ll make.
