RiskWise2: The Risk and Environmental Management Solution
RiskWise2 is the latest version of the successful risk
management software from the S2 Partnership.
Whilst RiskWise2 has been significantly enhanced from
the original system, it still manages to maintain a familiar look
and feel ensuring a smooth transition for existing clients. New clients
to the system will benefit from the new features, yet without the
worry of having to learn a complex or difficult system.
The original RiskWise system has been a great success, combining
effectiveness with simplicity and ease of use. In respect nothing
has changed with RiskWise2, however new, powerful reporting
features have been added.
RiskWise2 takes a modular approach to the facility management
issues of Health & Safety, Accident & Incident Reporting and
the increasingly important matter of Environmental Management. These
three modules are just the beginning of what RiskWise2
can handle, with new modules already being designed, which when available,
will easily be slotted into any existing RiskWise2 system.

Key Performance Indicators |
So let's look at what each module can provide you in more detail.
The Health & Safety module can be closely likened to the whole
of the original RiskWise system. It is a simple yet effective way
of logging any form of inspection, any hazards identified, and managing
the risk through to resolution.
The Accident & Incident Reporting module allows the recording
of an accident or incident on any of your properties. The categories,
severities and terminology can be fully customized to your needs,
allowing you to produce a report in the format you choose.
Finally, the Environmental Management module allows the tracking
of any Environmental inspections and their actions. Additionally,
this module can also store, monitor and report on property energy
meters and waste management. Each property can be set up to record
only what is relevant to that site. This will in turn help you monitor
and compare costs, efficiency and carbon emissions, either by property,
client or any property data field.
RiskWise2 maintains its strong reporting capability, with
significantly more functions and a variety of formats to report to,
including XML, CSV, Doc and just simply within the RiskWise system
itself.

Digital Dashboard |
Graphical reporting is becoming more and more popular. The RiskWise2
Digital Dashboard is able to provide this on any information stored
within the system. Each user has the flexibility to select graphs
and charts from any module without having to drill down through data
or running a search.
Integrated into RiskWise2 is the leading web mapping tool,
Google Maps. Data previously displayed in a tabular or list format
can now also be reported in a geographical view, perfect for monitoring
trends by region or country. A vast range of data can be shown in
this view, including outstanding risk levels, Environmental impacts
and Health & Safety compliance.
RiskWise2 will help improve the way property managers
look after the properties under their control, giving you all the
information you need to manage your properties, without the worry
of having to manage the system.

Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL) is one of the world's leading commercial
real estate services and management firms, providing a wide range
of services for property owners, investors and occupiers. Jones Lang
LaSalle's UK business manages £20 billion assets and administers service
charges of more than £150 million.
One of the increasing challenges experienced by Jones Lang LaSalle's
UK property services arm over recent years has been the growing need
to monitor and manage health, safety and risk related elements of
its property portfolio. Up until three years ago it had not been possible
to be sure at any point in time what the exact risk status was of
each building in the portfolio and, with legislation becoming ever
more punitive, this was considered unacceptable.
A project was initiated therefore to find a way to achieve real-time
risk transparency across the property portfolio. A number of specialist
Health, Safety & Risk consultancies were approached, with a proposal
from the S2 Partnership being considered the most appropriate for
the firm. The S2 proposal combined its excellent risk consultancy
services, which had already been experienced by the company over a
number of years, with its state of the art, on-line risk database
RiskWise which provided a risk recording, escalation and reporting
system. S2 were therefore contracted to implement the system for all
the properties managed by the firm across the UK, and within just
ten weeks, they were receiving significant benefits.
Three years on, RiskWise has enabled Jones Lang LaSalle to achieve
its original objective, and it is now possible to have an up-to-date,
real time view of the risk status of every one of nearly 700 properties
managed across the UK. Any health, safety or risk actions which are
required across the portfolio are progressed through the system, being
automatically monitored and escalated as appropriate, to ensure they
are not forgotten or overlooked. The system is now being used to monitor
environmental risk as well.
John Miller, the Socially Responsible Management Officer who administers
the system quotes "RiskWise has been a significant factor in
enabling us to effectively manage our risk exposure across our property
portfolio. The system is intuitive and easy to use, so much so that
anyone computer literate enough to order a book from Amazon is immediately
at home using the system. The support and professionalism of S2 has
enabled us to focus on our core property related business, with the
comfort of knowing that the health, safety and risk exposure of the
firm is minimised".
