Deloitte
RMIS/Lab Frequently Asked Questions
Q:
Are you about to begin or in the process of evaluating and selecting
Risk & Insurance Technology?
A: You should contact the Deloitte
RMIS/Lab™ and speak with a Risk & Insurance Technology
Consultant.
Q:
What is the Deloitte RMIS/Lab™?
A: Deloitte created the
RMIS/Lab™ in 1996 as the first independent risk management information
systems laboratory, a place clients could visit to utilize and
evaluate options and develop solutions to a wide range of critical
mission issues.
Q:
Where is the Deloitte RMIS/Lab™ located?
A:
The RMIS/Lab™ is located in Hartford,
Connecticut. However, with advancing technology, we are now able
to bring the Lab to you. With remote Lab sessions, you can now
view and analyze multiple Risk & Insurance Technologies without
shopping each vendor and without traveling to the actual Lab.
Q:
Who can use the Deloitte RMIS/Lab™?
A: The Deloitte RMIS/Lab™
is available for use by professionals from all areas of the risk
management and insurance community. Due to confidentiality concerns,
vendor personnel, brokers, and consultants are allowed only limited
access to the RMIS/Lab™; please ask for more details.
Q:
Which Risk & Insurance Technology vendors are represented
in the Deloitte RMIS/Lab™?
A: Approximately 50 vendors are currently
represented in the RMIS/Lab™. As the Risk & Insurance Technology
Consultants have multiple contacts throughout the industry, we
have market access to over 150 vendors.
Q:
Do vendors pay Deloitte to be a participant in the
RMIS/Lab™?
A:
No - that would jeopardize our objectivity.
We choose vendors who have a demonstrated market share, track
records of success, and a reputation for innovative solutions.
We are constantly adding vendors to our list as the scopes of
applications are expanding and as technology advances.
Q:
Are there other Labs like Deloitte's RMIS/Lab™?
A:
There are other Labs. However, our
RMIS/Lab™ was the first of its kind and remains an independent
laboratory. In addition, our professionals bring more than 150
years of combined risk management and insurance industry experience
to the table, making Deloitte the leader in depth
of knowledge and breadth of skills.
Q:
Why would a company use the Deloitte RMIS/Lab™?
A: The RMIS/Lab™ provides a one-stop
solution for risk and insurance technology analysis, selection
and implementation. Instead of contacting various vendors, determining
their capabilities and interest, arranging and sitting through
multiple presentations, enduring persistent vendor "follow-up,"
and squandering time, a client can use the RMIS/Lab™ to review
and analyze the systems most applicable for their situation in
one location.

A:
- Financial Services Companies (Insurance Companies, Banks,
