IRIS Risk Management Software now available in Africa

IRIS Intelligence has signed up a new partner to provide local support to customers in West Africa.  DWA Risk & Financial Management is an independent consultancy firm based in Accra, Ghana and will begin deploying the IRIS software with clients from January 2010. 

DWA works with clients in both the private and public sectors, providing services in risk & project management, business & financial planning, financial modeling and management training.  DWA works across all industries, but has a particular focus on the transport, energy, construction and communication industries. 

DWA prides itself on combining a proven international track record with a thorough understanding of the specific requirements for working in Africa.  It will use the IRIS software with both large and small organizations to implement effective risk and project management processes, financial planning and modeling in order to help ensure effective and efficient investment decision making.  In addition to implementing the IRIS system for customers in West Africa, DWA will use IRIS to underpin its core executive risk management training program.

“We selected IRIS for a variety of reasons” said Mussa Dankwah, BSc. MSc. ACCA MCSI, Chief Executive Officer and Head of Strategic and Project Risk at DWA Risk & Financial Management Consulting Ltd. “Firstly, it embodies the best practice risk management processes that we recommend to our clients, covering both qualitative and quantitative aspects of risk management.  Secondly, the system has huge flexibility and can be used as a single user desktop edition right through to an enterprise wide solution with several hundred users sharing risk data with each other.  Finally, the system includes so many useful time saving features such as the instant export of reports to PowerPoint or Excel.  We are confident our customers will quickly realize benefits to their bottom line through implementing the IRIS software.”

DWA helps companies ensure that their organizational goals and strategies are truly realized. Through project management training and consulting, DWA gives companies the skills and processes that they need to be effective.  DWA will provide IRIS Professional and IRIS Expert software solutions to customers in the region.  IRIS Professional focuses on the core risk management process, whilst IRIS Expert integrates sophisticated quantitative analysis within a simple user friendly format.
