(December 13, 2013 – Toronto, ON) Risk Control Technologies Inc., the industry-leading provider of loss control software solutions for insurers, today announced that RSA Canada has deployed the RC Inspection software solution in production to help streamline its property and casualty risk control operations. RSA Canada is the country’s third largest P&C insurer with assets exceeding $7.6 billion.

Branded internally as “S.M.A.R.T.” (Survey Management and Reporting Tool), RC Inspection was implemented as the risk control management system for RSA Canada’s commercial and Global Specialty Lines across the country.

“When we identified the need for a risk control management solution, we had high expectations from Risk Control Technologies based on their reputation in the marketplace” said Mark Cairns, Vice President and CIO, Broker Business for RSA Canada, “Not only were they able to deliver a solution into production within only a couple of months, the product proved to be very robust and highly adaptable to our business”.

RC Inspection is a full end-to-end risk control management solution which will allow RSA Canada to:

• Automate its risk control survey processes to reduce manual tasks.
• Enhance the quality and consistency of survey reports delivered to key stakeholders.
• Effectively track and follow-up on outstanding recommendations which affect risk profiles.
• Provide underwriters with high quality, timely data in support of decision-making.
• Virtually eliminate paper loss control files.
• Enhance loss control data-mining and reporting around risk control data.
• Equip field risk control consultants with an offline application to increase productivity on the go.

Following the successful roll-out in Canada, RSA plans next to implement the RC Inspection solution for its Emerging Markets Division which includes Latin America, Asia, the Middle East as well as Central and Eastern Europe.

“Initially, we were presented with the challenge of getting a fully-functional system up and running inside of 3 months for the RSA Canada team” said David Hanley of Risk Control Technologies, “We were confident in our ability to meet the target because we have developed a highly-configurable and flexible product to meet the varying needs of insurers in any business segment; and we ultimately delivered.”

The solution was deployed in a Software-as-a-Service model for RSA Canada users, leveraging cloud technologies.

With the deployment for RSA, RC Inspection is now used by three of top four largest insurers in Canada.
