In an instance, Riskonnect assisted the risk management department of a technology distributor with a reliable risk management information system (RMIS) to help harness insurable property values capable of working for global operations users and record the values in the local currency format. Additionally, the system required recording capacity as well in square feet or square meters. Riskonnect effectively expanded the traditional property module, consequently capturing property details, more than the insurable values and COPE, resulting in a global platform for property management. Added to that, Riskonnect configured the system to record all the values in local currency, along with a daily update of the international exchange rates via SAP. The client was able to promptly identify data quality issues with the aid of exception reporting. This enabled the risk management department to receive alerts from automated workflows whenever new items were added.
