The Challenge: AI Insights Trapped Outside Governance
Organizations are accelerating their use of IBM watsonx to analyze data, summarize documents, and detect emerging risks. But without a direct integration into IBM OpenPages, these insights remain isolated from the governance processes responsible for oversight, evidence, and decision-making. Teams resort to manual copy-and-paste methods that slow operations, create inconsistencies, and weaken auditability.
Why IBM watsonx supports IBM OpenPages
watsonx can extract meaning, classify content, and produce high-quality summaries instantly. OpenPages is where risk decisions, controls, issues, obligations, and documentation actually live. When the two platforms aren’t connected, organizations cannot operationalize AI in a controlled, transparent way. Regulatory expectations around traceability, model oversight, and defensible decision logic require a structured workflow—something only possible when watsonx outputs flow directly into OpenPages objects and processes.
SureStep IBM watsonx–IBM OpenPages Integration
SureStep delivers a clean, practical integration pattern that links watsonx analysis to OpenPages data structures, workflows, and evidence records. We help organizations send documents, risks, incidents, controls, or regulatory text to watsonx, retrieve structured results, and automatically populate OpenPages forms with AI-generated insights. This eliminates manual steps, strengthens governance, and accelerates review cycles across compliance, audit, and operational risk teams.
Strategic, Collaborative Partnership with IBM for over 15+ years
IBM consistently trusts SureStep with clients that require a design-led, detail-driven approach to IBM OpenPages & IBM watsonx.governance implementations. Our work is grounded in understanding the business first, its risk posture, operating model, and governance expectations, and tailoring risk platforms to meet those requirements with precision.
SureStep and IBM maintain an active, collaborative relationship that extends far beyond delivery. Our teams meet frequently with IBM’s product organization, participate in customer advisory boards, and engage directly with product management to provide insight, feedback, and forward-looking guidance.
We also work closely with IBM Expert Labs, supporting their engagements and jointly shaping implementation approaches for complex clients. This ongoing collaboration ensures SureStep remains tightly aligned with IBM’s roadmap, best practices, and emerging capabilities, directly benefiting the organizations we support.
