Risk management systems are part of risk information management services or RIMS. RIMS are electronic devices to facilitate insurance companies consolidate data, information, policy claims, data loss and other things related to insurance claims management. Risk management systems take into consideration three things :

• Size of the risk

Having taken into consideration these three factors, there are various products that are designed and catered to companies in need of effective claims management. Though the basic fundamentals of any risk management systems are the same, there are some differences in RIMS provided by insurance carriers, broker/agents and third party administrators and by RIMS technology companies. Any insurance company that wants to go for this system for its insurance claims management should take into consideration those aspects. Some of them are :

• The accessibility of risk management systems – Internet-based or Internet accessible
• Loading time
• Flexibility
• Onsite Support
• Data quality control
• Financial viability
• Related modules
• Foreign conversion/support

To elaborate some of them, risk management systems meant for insurance claims management should provide accurate data conversion, and data source cleanup as this is the heart of any insurance management. Also, the speed of this electronic device needs to be reasonably fast as to make faster screen changes and report generation time. Also, there are some risk management services that include other modules such as environment module, property module, insurance claims module etc.

Insurance claim management requires the system to enable managers track all claims in the line of business. Such modules also include all necessary details of the claim including witness statement, benefit details, legal proceedings, medical information and police reports. Therefore, in an information-laden world, to have sound and reliable risk management systems is rather an essential managerial tool especially with regard to insurance claims management.
