Effective risk management can improve strategic planning and decision making – and can create significant value throughout the enterprise, especially when implemented as part of a unified GRC solution. Too often, however, risk management practices are manual and reactive, and risk-relevant information is locked in silos. As a result, organizations are ill-equipped to recognize critical risks, analyze risk-reward tradeoffs, and respond well, based on quantitative cost-and-benefit analyses.

The SAP BusinessObjects Risk Management application provides risk-adjusted management of enterprise performance that can empower you to optimize efficiency, increase effectiveness, and maximize visibility across risk initiatives.

With SAP BusinessObjects Risk Management, your organization can drive agreement on top risks, associated thresholds, and risk appetite. Your organization can perform qualitative and quantitative analysis; identify key risks across the enterprise; create resolution strategies for top risks that maximize return on capital; and build proactive monitoring into existing business processes and strategies.

SAP BusinessObjects Risk Management can also enable you to:

• Optimize efficiency – Automated key risk indicator monitoring combined with automated workflow can allow risk owners to initiate strategy modifications immediately when risks change.
• Increase effectiveness – Alignment of key risk and performance indicators across all business functions permits earlier risk identification and dynamic risk mitigation.
• Maximize visibility – Cross-system integration delivers an enterprise-wide view and transparency into risk exposure and strategy execution.
