Systema Software and Risk Sciences Group Form Strategic Alliance to Offer End-to-End Claims and RMIS Solution

Complementary Product Capabilities from Systema`s SIMS Claims joined with RSG`s DMITRI RMIS Drive Better Workflow,
Improve Decision Making and Reduce Total Cost of Risk

Larkspur, CA and Atlanta, GA - April 17, 2014 - Systema Software, a leading provider of claims administration software, and Risk Sciences Group (RSG), a leading provider of risk management information systems (RMIS), today announced a strategic alliance to offer their respective solutions-SIMS Claims(TM), Systema`s award-winning claims system, and DMITRI, RSG`s comprehensive RMIS-as a premier end-to-end offering for claims and risk management.

Today, more organizations are striving to drive down their total cost of risk by self-administering claims and strictly managing risk and exposure. "To do this effectively, we realized that the risk and insurance market needed a solution that combined the robust claims-handling functionality found in SIMS Claims with the powerful data consolidation, predictive analytics, benchmarking and ad hoc reporting found in DMITRI. By teaming up, clients gain deep product capabilities in both areas and tighter control over the entire claims and risk management process," said Jose Tribuzio, CEO of Systema Software.

Mark Stergio, CEO of RSG, added: "Through this alliance, we now offer a category-defining solution that empowers organizations to simultaneously manage the complex nature of claims and leverage an enterprise view of risk. With it, organizations will have actionable claims and risk intelligence to drive better decisions and boost the bottom line. Systema and RSG are a phenomenal fit as we have in-depth expertise in our respective fields and a consistent approach to delivering architecturally strong platforms, superior customer service, and solutions tailored to meet client needs. Mutual clients can anticipate a seamless, satisfying experience of our combined capabilities."

Industry consultant David A. Tweedy, Director of RMIS at Bickmore, and author of the RMIS Review, noted: "This strategic alliance between two quality organizations enables each to leverage the strengths of the other. The combined offering should offer clients and prospects a comprehensive RMIS and claims administration solution."

The benefits of the SIMS- DMITRI solution include:

  • Deep product capabilities in both claims and RMIS categories

  • Tighter control and oversight of the end-to-end process

  • Insight to understand exposure and reduce total cost of risk

  • Advanced automation and workflow management for efficiency and focus
