New Networking Platform Delivers Content, Knowledge and Opportunities for the Risk Management Community 

NEW YORK (March 3, 2014) – To ensure risk practitioners have access to the resources and services they need to successfully manage their organization’s risk programs, RIMS, the risk management society™, launched RIMS Marketplace, an online network of the world’s leading industry solution providers. To date, the platform features more than 350 company profiles that are organized into 225 searchable risk management categories.  RIMS Marketplace will take the place of the RIMS Buyer’s Guide.

The newly designed RIMS Marketplace offers an easy-to-use, sleek interface for risk professionals, as well as increased options for providers to create more comprehensive profiles.  To better demonstrate the value of their offerings, RIMS Marketplace allows providers to share: news releases, presentations, videos, social media pages and other intellectual property.  The new platform also offers providers the opportunity to advance their position in searchable categories, track industry news, as well as traffic to their profile.

“The risks our organizations face can change in an instant.  Knowing the right people or having the right network in place can be the difference between your organization successfully navigating a risk or falling to its consequences,” said RIMS Executive Director Mary Roth.  “Risk professionals have dynamic needs and as a result needed a platform with dynamic capabilities.  RIMS Marketplace immediately expands the risk professional’s network while giving listed organizations the opportunity to showcase their offerings directly to an engaged audience.”  

RIMS Marketplace is free to access for both RIMS members and nonmembers.  To experience this resource, visit www.RIMS.org/Marketplace. For information on how to add your organization to RIMS Marketplace, contact Areti Fonseca: afonseca@rims.org or (212)655-6039.
