ART’s risk management system launched in New Zealand

ART (Pty) Ltd has announced the launch of its RiskHealthCheck business risk management system in New Zealand, in conjunction with local partners QR Consulting.

QR Consulting is a management consulting firm providing services to a broad range of clients in New Zealand, Australia and throughout Asia. They are the architects of the industry wide knowledge management platform iNavigator. RiskHealthCheck was launched at the IBANZ Conference in August.

According to Paul Brightman, managing director of ART, Risk Consultants in South Africa, the system is also being used extensively by local companies to manage the many varied aspects of risk effectively.  In particular, businesses in the Insurance sector find this system a huge support to automate this time consuming, but critical business process.

The Johannesburg based INsure Group started using this system in 2009 to support risk management in a highly regulated environment.  “In an environment where there are just so many aspects to manage at the same time to ensure that the risk profile of a business is within acceptable limits, it has become virtually impossible to manage this effectively without the utilisation of sophisticated systems,  Brightman said.

More information on the system and associated business services is available at the following websites: http://www.qrconsulting.co.nz or http://www.artrhc.com/ or http://www.artrisk.co.za/ or http://www.risktherapy.co.za/
