A dedicated channel vs the alternatives

Most companies approaching the point where they need a real reporting channel already have something that could serve as one: an email address, an online form, a phone line, or a module inside a bigger governance platform. Some of these can meet the law if they're set up carefully; none of them was built for this job, and the gaps tend to show only once a real report comes in. This section covers what each option can and can't do, compared with a dedicated platform like Provoxis.
