ARM 4 now available (12/01/2010)
STG announces the immediate availability of ARM 4 the latest release of Active Risk Manager (ARM), the world's most widely deployed and the only truly comprehensive web-based ERM solution. ARM is already recognized as delivering the “deepest capabilities for risk management” in the market and with ARM 4 STG strengthens its leadership position.
ARM 4 expands the scope of the enterprise-wide benefits of risk management through new modules for Business Continuity and Controls Management. ARM 4 unites these additional risk-relevant business disciplines into Active Risk Manager’s single performance-driven approach to enterprise risk management. This removes the need for the additional standalone tools which made it difficult for organizations to see the true picture of risk and opportunity across the enterprise and the potential impact on business performance.
STG customers can now benefit from the top down, risk-based approach to controls and business continuity management. ARM 4’s new capabilities deliver integrated risk-aware processes for IT, Quality, HR and Financial Control compliance management within an enterprise risk management framework.
In addition ARM 4 delivers a new Enterprise Service Bus module for integrating with customers’ preferred integration technologies. This will help to bind risk and opportunity management to the other essential core processes of the business.
ARM 4’s enhanced functionality is delivered through a re-engineered user interface which provides significant improvements to the end-user experience. This benefits all user types, from risk professionals through operational users who may only interact with the risk process on a monthly or even annual basis. This will aid user acceptance and help to embed a risk culture throughout the business.
Mark Brown, Director of ERM Strategy at Strategic Thought Group, commented, “ARM 4 is a result of extensive discussions with our customers and business partners. It is designed to deliver increased user adoption across the enterprise and offers the efficiencies and benefits gained from replacing standalone, risk-related tools with a single enterprise solution.
“It is ARM’s unique risk aggregation methodology and data taxonomies that enable customers to manage threats and opportunities enterprise-wide within a common and intelligent economic model. Controls and Contingency plans are an important part of this model.”
Martin Metcalf, CEO at Strategic Thought Group added, “Active Risk manager has been the industry-leading enterprise risk management solution since its first release. With ARM 4 we have extended the breadth of risk management yet again. ARM 4 delivers on STG’s product vision – to make risk-adjusted corporate performance and planning a reality. ARM 4 will increase business performance predictability, transparency and value and give our customers true competitive advantage.”
