IRIS Software Gains Accreditation from the Association of Project Managers
The IRIS Risk Management software has become a tool approved by the Association of Project Managers as supporting the OGC Business Change Guidance covering Programme Management, Project Management and Risk Management. The software was reviewed by the APM Group in January 2006 and passed the assessment at the first attempt.
In addition to gaining accreditation for the OGC guidelines, the APM Group assessor confirmed that IRIS is fully compliant with the PRINCE2 Methodology.
Michael Bond, who led the development of the web-based version of IRIS commented, "I am delighted that IRIS has been recognised once again. I think the reason for its success is that the tool is designed based on a coherent methodology that has stood the test of time for over two decades. Too many software products focus on what the technology can do thus becoming too complex and losing focus – we always focus on the process and methodology, using technology as a means to embed good practice"
Istria and Palisade consolidate relationship at BPPM
Palisade and Istria continue to work together combining the leading edge statistical techniques for the quantification of risk exposure with an understanding of the practical implementation of risk management "at the coal face".
The IRIS software tool embeds the Istria Risk Management Method developed over 20 years of risk management experience as well as the @Risk package developed by Palisade since 1984.
Chris Marlow, Palisade European Sales Director, comments "In developing the IRIS software product, Istria have successfully managed to integrate our leading edge quantitative techniques within an extremely intuitive and user friendly application. With Istria’s qualitative risk matrices and risk management tool, customers now get the best of both worlds"
Istria and Palisade attended the Business Performance and Project Management Exhibition in October 2005 and can be seen at the Project Challenge Expo in 2006.
