Archer Engage®

Streamlining Risk Management Collaboration
Effective risk management is no longer confined to the role and responsibility of risk managers.
It requires ongoing coordination with business users and others to get a complete picture ofrisk and provide executives with the right insights to make informed decisions.
Consider that: Most enterprises believe that shifting risk management responsibilities to the first line
makes the organization more agile in facing threats. Additional benefits include increased
likelihood of experiencing revenue growth, greater speed in bouncing back from adverse
events, and greater confidence of first line managers in risk management skills. (PwC)
 Nearly 50 percent of Board members believe the risk information they receive is insufficientfor drawing accurate conclusions. (National Association of Corporate Directorsand Partners)
 According to a recent Gartner study, “The risk environment has evolved, but organizations
have not adapted their risk governance accordingly…. Executive leaders must embrace
a new approach — dynamic risk governance.”®

Drive More Effective Risk Teams

Archer Engage
enables risk teams torequest informationfrom business users
through an easy-touse interface.

Archer Engage enables risk teams to request information from business users throughan easy-to-use interface. For example, it can be used by risk teams to send Archer
questionnaires, tasks, or assessment to respondents that are inside or outside theorganization. Risk managers simply select the fields they want to show and, withjust the click of a button, generate a form that can be accessed by whoever needs it.
Archer Engage for Business Users also enables users to report incidents, issues, and risks.
Archer Engage leverages the full reporting, workflow, and notification capabilities
available in Archer. The ability to get approvals from executive leadership, gather
information from employees, and assess a facility’s security controls is made thatmuch easier.

Typically, organizations need to build a custom portal to collect and gather data fromusers, and then build the connection to their integrated risk management tool. This
involves building databases and repositories, custom services and APIs, and web apps
or forms with all the necessary features. This process can be lengthy, complex, andcostly. And if the team needs a new form for a new process, you need to start over.

Archer Engage is compatible with every application, questionnaire, and process within
Archer -- even those that you have custom configured using on-demand applications(ODAs). Archer Engage can be configured in a matter of minutes. It essentially serves
as an extension of your Archer implementation for business users who do not use
Archer on a regular basis.
Archer Engage also automates a large part of system administration, which saves time
for program administrators. For example, it automates access provisioning with justan email address. Selected business users are provided access only to the information
to which they need to respond. Archer Engage is flexible and scalable for both SaaS
and on-premises Archer implementations.
Archer Engage streamlines the entire process of gathering, evaluating, reporting, andacting on risk data, helping the efficiency of y our risk teams. It also helps you create more
complete risk data upon which executives and Board members can make importantbusiness decisions.
