DALLAS—International Risk
Management Institute, Inc. (IRMI), introduces
RMIS Review, an online
information service that will save untold amounts of time and
minimize the possibility of making costly mistakes in choosing and
implementing a risk management information system (RMIS). With
unbiased systems analyses, comparative charts showing vendor
information and ratings, and a recommended RMIS selection process,
RMIS Review will guide you
through the complicated, time-consuming, and ever-changing
technological world of risk management information systems.
An RMIS is a computerized composition of software applications
and databases that enable risk managers to evaluate claims and other
information and make informed risk management decisions. These
complex and costly systems gather and organize claims, exposure, and
other data; analyze, synthesize, and prioritize that data; provide
“what-if” analysis modeling for risk financing and risk control
options; and enable reporting of those findings and results. The
variety of features and cost of the many available systems makes
comparing, selecting, and implementing one a daunting task.
RMIS Review evaluates key
information about the major risk management information systems and
their vendors to assist in the selection and purchase of a system.
These side-by-side system evaluations include up-to-date vendor
pricing methodologies to make the evaluation process efficient and
thorough for system purchasers, brokers, and consultants. David A.
Tweedy, an internationally recognized expert in the RMIS and claims
management arena, serves as the editor of
RMIS Review in providing
unbiased analysis. Mr. Tweedy has more than 25 years' experience as
a risk management consultant, much of which has focused on the
selection, implementation, and use of risk management information
systems.
“My goal with RMIS Review
has been to provide the risk management professional with a Consumer
Reports style of comprehensive and objective comparative analyses of
risk management information systems. There is so much confusion out
there with directories that do not provide the necessary information
for risk managers to make informed decisions on probably their most
important tool to measure and evaluate risk,” said David Tweedy,
editor of RMIS Review.
IRMI President Jack Gibson said, “Risk managers have enough to
worry about without the loss of credibility, frustration, wasted
time, and headaches associated with making a bad RMIS choice. With
RMIS Review we set out to give
them the initial blueprint for a successful selection and
implementation process. Dave Tweedy is the expert on this subject
and he has unselfishly put his knowledge and expertise into
RMIS Review. Considering the
cost of purchasing and implementing an RMIS—in both money and
time—wise risk managers will make good use of the knowledge in
RMIS Review when selecting a
system.”
