· 4 minute read

Investing in a comprehensive Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) software solution that centralizes your risk management, compliance, and audit functions and processes is an investment in your organization’s future. Businesses investing in integrated GRC software are better equipped to tackle the challenges of a complex risk landscape and unlock hidden opportunities in each. At Resolver, we are committed to providing a holistic risk intelligence platform to proactively manage risk, improve compliance and audit processes, and help businesses move faster to drive overall corporate performance.

But what sets Resolver apart? What concrete benefits can organizations expect when investing in comprehensive, integrated GRC software? And how do you, a hard-working GRC professional, build your business case to get buy-in and funding for a technology solution from your executives? In trying to help GRC functions better communicate the value of their efforts to their business leadership through risk data, we needed data and numbers that could help make your case for an integrated GRC software investment.

To answer these questions, Resolver commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a detailed Total Economic Impact™ (TEI) study. The study, based on real use cases and interviews with organizations that have implemented Resolver’s solutions, provides a compelling analysis of the economic impact that Resolver’s Risk Intelligence solutions deliver to GRC teams just like yours.

The power of integrated risk intelligence

The TEI study focused on our integrated GRC software, a comprehensive solution designed to streamline risk and compliance processes, enhance decision-making, and drive efficiency throughout an organization. According to the study, the key to Resolver’s success lies in our ability to provide better data for risk-informed decisions, which builds true risk intelligence across the three lines.

By consolidating all risk, compliance, and audit data within a single secure database, Resolver ensures that organizations have a wealth of centralized data that can be analyzed and understood in context. Crucial for risk, compliance, and audit decision-making, this integration allows organizations to assess risk properly in relation to controls, evaluate control effectiveness, and make data-driven decisions for incredible accuracy and efficiency.

We may be biased, but the results from Forrester’s TEI study are undoubtedly impressive. Organizations that implemented Resolver’s integrated GRC software experienced average savings of $1.59 million over three years. These savings were attributed to improved risk analysis and decision-making, time-saved building reports, reduced information request duplication (often known as “audit fatigue”), as well as a reduction in the frequency and severity of fines and reputational damage.

The benefits of investing in Resolver’s integrated GRC software

The TEI study not only quantified the financial impact of Resolver’s integrated GRC software but also shed light on various benefits that organizations can expect. Let’s delve deeper into these benefits:

1. Enhanced GRC efficiency and productivity

One of the standout findings from the TEI study was the significant increase in efficiency and productivity across the three lines. Resolver’s integrated GRC software streamlines processes, reducing duplication of efforts among risk, audit, and compliance teams. With shared lists of controls and a centralized document repository, teams can collaborate seamlessly, resulting in time saved and — by eliminating silos — strong, collaborative relationships fostered among all disciplines involved.

As the study found, implementing Resolver increased compliance testing efficiency by an impressive 75% and audit process efficiency by 30%. Many of the organizations interviewed reported being able to accomplish more with fewer resources and less manual effort, ultimately driving comprehensive risk intelligence and more value to their businesses.

Our automated reporting isn’t just a time-saver; it’s a game-changer! The Resolver customers interviewed for the study revealed a 95% efficiency in executive reporting. Resolver’s click-of-a-button risk reports nearly eliminate the substantial effort that risk analysts typically spend on quarterly data aggregation, analysis, and reporting. Imagine the possibilities when your team can focus on strategic tasks instead of manual data wrangling.

2. Substantial cost savings deliver 327% ROI

Resolver doesn’t just offer savings; it’s a financial powerhouse. The TEI study revealed that organizations implementing Resolver achieved significant cost savings, with an average of $1.59 million over three years. These savings can be attributed to various factors including improved risk analysis and decision-making, reduced time spent on report generation, and a decline in audit fatigue.

By eliminating inefficient and disjointed legacy GRC tools, organizations saved a substantial $190,000. But that’s not all – Resolver’s impact goes beyond the balance sheet, preventing a jaw-dropping $1.4 million in regulatory penalties and reputation risk. Additionally, organizations saw a reduction in the frequency and severity of compliance fines and reputational damage thanks to streamlined regulatory compliance management. By integrating regulatory compliance libraries (or RegTech) and automating workflows, teams are better able to stay on top of the volume of change in regulations and the resulting obligations. It’s not just about the money saved; it’s about safeguarding your organization’s future.

Interviewees from various organizations attested that Resolver’s improved data quality and impactful reporting significantly enhanced their ability to pinpoint high-risk areas and prioritize risk mitigation efforts. To paraphrase a corporate risk manager in the financial technology sector who was interviewed in the study, “When data is elegantly presented in a graph, it becomes effortless to evaluate. We were able to identify those areas that ranked higher on the risk tolerance score matrix and subsequently channel our efforts into reducing them effectively.”
