LONDON (20 May, 2013) – Aon eSolutions, the technology solutions business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), has today launched a definitive guide for organizations considering using Risk Management Information Systems (RMIS).  The educational guide helps clients identify areas for consideration when thinking of investing in a RMIS and the value and potential return on investment.

The guide draws on client feedback and Aon’s own research findings to highlight why organizations are increasingly investing in a RMIS. There is also a section about the potential ROI and savings that a RMIS can deliver, from quickly translating risk and insurance data into meaningful intelligence that can be used to inform tactical and strategic decisions.

Steve Cloutman, Managing Director EMEA at Aon eSolutions said “We’ve seen a growing demand in RMIS from large national and global organizations, largely due to the board wanting to better identify, manage and control risks and exposures, which may affect the strategic growth of the company.  This places increased pressure on the Risk Manager to quickly report on enterprise-wide risks and show how they are being handled. Many organizations are first-time buyers, so we felt that developing a guide would help inform Risk Managers of how a Risk Management Information System can help, beyond just claims and policy management, and drive value from technology.”

Supporting the launch of the guide, Paul Hopkin, Technical Director at Airmic said: "It is a comprehensive guide to RMIS - and it is set out in an attractive and easy to follow format. The guide succeeds in providing objective information that will help risk and insurance professionals to determine how a RMIS could help their organisation."

The guide can be accessed at: aon-esolutions.com/guide

The guide will also be available at the AIRMIC conference and attendees can obtain further information from the Aon stand (32/33) during AIRMIC, 10-12 June, Brighton.
