Strategic Thought Group, the risk and reward company provides world-class risk management software and services to many of the globe's leading companies.

Active Risk Manager (ARM), launched in 2001 was the first and now the most widely used web-based enterprise risk management system.

The purpose of ARM is to increase the quality and efficiency of our customer's management processes by providing a single solution to help reduce reccuring losses, issues and risks with the necessary mitigation strategies.

ARM's unique qualities are in its ability to support multi-cultural processes from different departments (Corporate, Audit, Management, Projects), consolidating data from multiple sources and providing multiple views determined by your risk appetite and maturity.

The ability to quantify actual and forecasted data to determine the return on investment obtained from risk mitigation is a key driver to increasing profit margin.

The return from using ARM varies from reduced insurance premiums, increased efficiency, speed and quality of reporting and applying the correct levels of provision to generate more revenue and achieve the objectives and expectations of the business.
