Risk Management Software Development 

Bespoke Risk Management Solutions -that people want to use and work

ITVantage - specialise in developing bespoke Risk Management solutions across industry sectors. In conjunction with our sister company
RiskVantage we build risk management solutions both directly for our own customers and indirectly for out of the box vendors, who have approached us for domain knowledge. From our experience as professional Risk managers and Audit mangers, we know what is important, what works and what does not. We pride our systems on being easy to use, and thus

employ world class FX designers to story board your journey and business work flows. There is nothing worse than commissioning a new risk management solution and then rolling it out to the first line of defence, only to find that the business fail to adopt and embrace it because of how complicated the new system is to use. This is one of the many pitfalls with regards to commissioning off the shelf risk management systems which cater ALL industry's within one solution.

It is important that the solution you purchase and implement is intuitive and fits around your organisational risk frame work like a glove. If you have to tweak the way your organisation works, in order to meet the limitations of the software then this can have many operational pit falls further down the line and inhibit true ERM. The digram illustates thus far our library of common risk moduels that we have developed and integrated for our clients.

Modular Risk Components Developed by RiskVantage

In 2011, ITVantage embarked on a 4 year journey with Unisys iPSL to develop a world class web based Operational Risk Management (GRC) Application which would support their £80 billion a year cheque clearing operation to assist All major UK banks to identify, assess, quantify, manage, and monitor enterprise risks associated to cheque clearing to the annual value of £80 billion a year! 

“Over the past three years RiskVantage has been iPSL’s partner of choice in helping embed the automation and maturity of our GRC Programme. We have worked in close consultation with RiskVantage to produce a cutting edge yet simple to use Enterprise Wide Risk Management System, which has superseded our legacy audit management system and reduced our dependency on paper based reporting.
This cutting edge solution has now become our single source of truth for key risks and controls for all our UK sites and is actively used by operational staff as well as middle and senior management to make informed decisions, and provide evidence and feedback to Unisys Internal Audit and external auditors.
As a member of the board and audit committee, I take great comfort in knowing that iPSL have a centralised system in place for consistent reporting and analysis of risk, control and risk event data to provide assurance to our multiple stakeholders (banks, industry bodies, external auditors, and shareholders).”

Our system, “RiskVantage” helps to truly streamline, automate, and integrate risk, controls, control objectives and material incidents (issues) top down and bottom up manner against both strategic and functional level organisation objectives. 
Our ERM software is flexible enough to scales across the enterprise (irrespective of geographic boundaries) , capturing risk and control data, as well as risk assessment findings, losses, issues, KRIs, and remediation plans in a single, centralised repository. Our customers can gain a in depth real-time view of the enterprise risks at the click of a button which are directly connected with strategic and departmental objectives to enhance executive and management decision-making at every level of your organisation.
