A Robust, ERM System Attainable for all Companies, all Industries MARIETTA, Ga.--(Business Wire)-- Software developer Riskonnect(TM) announced its latest offering to the enterprise risk management (ERM) industry, Riskonnect Lite, today. Riskonnect Lite is an easy to use, web-based ERM system perfect for anyone managing risk to quickly identify and visualize the way that risks relate and impact one another. Through its unique visualizations and compelling profiles, the highly secure tool offers risk managers and stakeholders a better way to understand the risks that affect their organization. Priced at $250 per user per month, the new offering is positioned to reach all companies across all industries. The timing is perfect. Regulators, investors, boards of directors, and other stakeholders are demanding a better grasp of enterprise risks. The tool allows you to bring relationships and impacts together in visual risk clusters that facilitate understanding and presentation to others. "Companies have struggled for years to define and practice ERM," Bob Morrell, CEO of Riskonnect, said. "The Riskonnect system is the only ERM tool available that enables individuals within an organization to work collaboratively or independently to identify, assess and mitigate each risk, thereby effectively accelerating the maturity of a company's ERM program." Today's rapid speed of business puts companies at a competitive disadvantage if they wait for complex software installations and systems integrations. Because the Riskonnect system is web-based and signing up is simple and affordable for most organizations, users can be using the system in less than a day. In the world of technical business solutions, this is revolutionary. Gone are the days of risks being artificially defined in a vacuum with few levels of categorization. Assessing risks in silos is not a reflection of reality. "The cumulative impacts of risks may drive different business decisions than a silo approach," says Morrell. "Successfully managing risk across the silos is a key tenet of ERM and precisely what our products facilitate at all levels of the organization." With Riskonnect, risks are consolidated in one database so management and risk owners can easily anticipate and manage the numerous risk relationships that threaten large enterprises today. The system uses influence diagrams to view risks and allows risk owners to "drill down" to observe the causes of risk in any number of areas that impact an organization. Risk status, ownership, descriptions and business unit details can all be specified in the database. Riskonnect Enterprise, Riskonnect's comprehensive, web-based system includes complete risk detail, customizable reports, configurable data elements and workflow and tracking of all activities and mitigation across the enterprise. About Riskonnect Riskonnect is an innovator in the area of strategic Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) providing comprehensive software solutions for organizations that need to consolidate, manage and mitigate business risks, and report the results to key stakeholders including management, the board of directors, third-party auditors and shareholders. Headquartered in Marietta, Georgia, the company developed and sells Riskonnect Lite and Riskonnect Enterprise, a comprehensive ERM application that resides on the Force.com platform.
