Executive Summary
Operational risk management (ORM) software combines functionality for control of work, process safety and barrier risk management. It’s significance has been boosted in the last 12 months by the acquisition of specialist vendors by larger software providers who plan to integrate ORM capabilities into broader EHS and asset management suites. According to Verdantix corporate surveys, the biggest challenge for champions of better industrial risk management has been securing budget. To help overcome this problem, this report provides a bullet proof quantitative model to calculate the Return on Investment and Net Present Value of control of work, process safety management and barrier risk management investments. Project leads can input their own assumptions into the model to calculate costs and benefits specific to their project.
