Risk Management Technologies

"Empowerment through knowledge" is the founding principle behind Australian software developer RMT. The company was established in 1987 to forge new online models of managing risk and performance in today’s organisations. Founder Dean Apostolou, a research chemist with extensive international public health and management experience, recognised a discrepancy in the way risk was being managed by industry, and set out to do something about it. Dean noted that while there were ad hoc systems to manage health and safety risk, the value of the data was lost in isolated, dysfunctional silos. RMT sought to develop products that bridged the gap between the old culture of gathering information in silos and new thinking that required one integrated system to drive processes transparently up and down the organisation. The result is a suite of two products which leverage cutting-edge web-based technology to make information easily accessible throughout your organisation and bring to bear powerful intuitive tools to give you critical insight into your business’ risks and a strategic advantage in managing them. Today, ChemAlert is recognised as one of the world’s most respected chemical safety management software packages, and is supported by a comprehensive suite of services and emergency support for clients around the world. First Priority is an enterprise-wide strategic framework of active risk and incident process monitoring designed to discover weaknesses in critical controls. This strategy enables organisations to monitor the effectiveness of critical controls and set tolerance levels to meet to meet their risk appetite.
