"Having previously managed all our Corporate risks via spreadsheets we are currently migrating our risk registers onto the Symbiant Risk Management System.The capabilities of the software are allowing us to considerably enhance the level of risk maturity across the University. It is allowing us to transform the management of our organisational risks to the extent that our Risk Management Policy is now being reviewed to ensure it takes into account the potential of the new software. As a Higher Education Institute our risks are, on-the-whole, assessed and evaluated on a qualitative rather than quantitative basis – Symbiant is able to accommodate this and allows us to clearly link risks to our non-financial, academic objectives.Symbiant is also proving highly customisable to our needs with staff finding the user interface intuitive and familiar. This has considerably reduced the training and support burden as we roll it out. The extremely comprehensive reporting suite allows our schools and business units far more freedom and scope to identify and record their local risks since the large amounts of data generated can be easily and almost instantly reported upon in many ways including heat maps and colour coding. This is enabling our risk management to become far more comprehensive. Updates and improvements to the software are regular and reliable with Symbiant having introduced some minor requested enhancements within just a few days."
"Symbiant Tracker has allowed us to record progress against recommendations and produce status reports in an extremely efficient and effective manner. Implementing and configuring the system was straight forward and positive feedback has been received from business users who have found the system to be extremely easy and intuitive to use when updating status for their recommendations. As testament to the effectiveness of the system it is also being used by other departments in the company to track actions, including Compliance for any actions arising from their compliance monitoring programme. Whilst the benefits will apply irrespective of the size of the audit team, for a small internal audit department selection of a recommendations tracking system that required minimal resource to set up, maintain and produce reports was essential and choosing Symbiant Tracker has proved to be a sound decision."
