"Risk Sciences Group enhances RMIS program"

December 27, 2004

SCHAUMBURG, Ill.—Risk Sciences Group, a subsidiary of Crawford & Co., has released an enhanced version of its risk management information system, Sigma Encore.

The Schaumburg, Ill.-based Risk Sciences Group's Sigma Encore 4.0 has been redesigned using Oracle, which provides greater speed and flexibility. Oracle is a relational database management system that stores data in the form of related tables, allowing users to access complex analytical reports that cover many different pieces of information.

The system also has been enhanced with new features, including an expanded data model, which includes reporting on nonfinancial fields such as providing summaries by location based on the location structure. Previously, queries could be performed only on financial values. Other enhancements include the addition of the My Reports portal, which contains search, save and management utilities; and enhanced template reports, which now include multilevel sorts, the e-mail distribution of report pages and report formatting.

Some of the standard features of Sigma Encore are OSHA reporting, policy management, certificate issuance and exposure management.
