ATLANTA, April 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Risk Sciences
Group® (RSG), a Crawford Company (NYSE: CRDA; CRDB), and
leading provider of risk management information systems (RMIS),
focused on all the elements that make up a successful risk
management program during its recent Partners Conference.
"RSG offers solutions that help risk managers understand and
make decisions about their entire program," said Managing Director
Brenda Rarick. "While the conference
included sessions related to our RMIS products, we presented a far
wider range of risk management topics for our participants'
consideration and discussion. This conference is an opportunity for
us to learn from each other, and judging from the feedback,
everyone was able to get a great deal out of the experience."
In keeping with the emphasis on a holistic approach to risk
management, this year's conference, "Elements of Success," included
sessions on models for data collection for international
organizations, social media's role in risk management, and managing
psycho-social and return-to-work issues. An open roundtable focused
on predictive analytics and how risk managers can use data to make
decisions for their programs and organizations.
The three tracks of labs, discussions and roundtables also
offered classes on RSG's Dmitri Suite® of RMIS products, including
developing actionable information from raw claim data, creating
reports to help with claims management and configuring data
displays to meet user specifications. All in all, the two-day
conference featured 17 different topics. "With the large number of
seminars, we were able to keep each session intimate and encourage
participation," Rarick said.
In addition to the conference sessions, a product pavilion gave
participants additional opportunities to peruse new products,
practice skills and learn first-hand from RSG experts and clients.
It also offered demos of KMC On Demand(SM), a leading provider of
learning technologies and online education for insurance
professionals that is part of Crawford Educational Services.
"The conference was an excellent opportunity to meet many RSG
employees and other clients of the system. We left with a lot of
good information and training," said Pat
Crowe, director of risk management systems for Rollins and a
conference attendee. "I was excited to hear of the added features
that will be available in the new reporting package."
"The classes provided phenomenal insight for us as our
department within Rollins moves to the Dmitri platform along with
Cognos reporting," Denise Samie,
systems coordinator for risk management, agreed. "I felt the
conference was educationally insightful for us as we move
ahead."
This year's conference, held at the Grand Hyatt in Tampa Bay, Fla., is the twenty-first such
event organized by RSG to bring together its clients and experts
for two-way learning and discussion about risk management and
related topics.
