New Aberdeen Research Reveals That Risk Management Strategies Enable Competitive Differentiation, Cost Reduction and Growth


VALHALLA, N.Y., July 25, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A new report published by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company, reveals that top performing companies are making the critical link between risk and performance management through the emerging discipline of risk-adjusted performance measurement.   

Entitled "Managing Enterprise Risks: An Executive's Guide to Reducing Corporate Liabilities and Costs," the study is authored by William Jan, Senior Research Analyst of Aberdeen's Financial Management & GRC practice. A complimentary copy of this $399 report is made available in part by Rev2 and other underwriters by visiting:

The report finds that top organizations are 2.5 times as likely as their peers to have automated role-based or task-based risk reports to see high-level risk information, and twice as likely as their competitors to have a complete and readily retrievable audit trail of records to support analysis, internal and external audits and documentation for reporting or investigation purposes. According to the report, top-performing companies experienced:

-       A 23% reduction in risk value – the monetary equivalent of the combined risks – in the past two years.

-       A 22% growth in new market revenue in the past 12 months.

"It is evident that technology can facilitate the ERM process by automating risk identification, documentation, aggregation, assessments, quantitative techniques, risk monitoring, and reporting," writes Jan. "Having the right information delivered to the right decision-maker at the right time is critical to the successful mitigation of risk."

"A common complaint from executives is that the volumes of data and reports produced prevent them from seeing what is truly critical," he continues. "High-performing companies have an information technology platform capable of efficiently capturing, processing, and reporting all relevant information."

"Rev2's RiskView application is among this emerging class of tools that assist in simplifying the complex and overwhelming task of risk analysis," says Jan. "Designed for C-level executives, RiskView provides adaptable risk models and a visualization engine that displays risks as outliers on radar charts. RiskView collects information from data sources across all organizational silos, enabling the identification of concentrations of risk, the materiality scoring of each risk relative to all identified risks, and rapid what-if analysis."
