About StratexSystems

StratexSystems is one of the only software companies in the world to provide an integrated, Risk-based Performance solution powered by Microsoft's SharePoint platform.

Our goal is simple – to help businesses execute strategy while operating within their acceptable level of risk exposure.

Very few organisations are capable of obtaining a single enterprise-wide view of their performance and risk management information. Instead the tendency is to employ multiple tools that operate in silos; rarely communicate with one another; provide conflicting information; and contribute to poor decision-making.

We believe performance and risk are essentially different sides of the same coin.  To effectively manage either, they must be managed as an integrated process with a single, integrated solution. StratexSystems provides that solution. 

 

Some of the acitivities which are supported by our various solutions:

 

  • Defining strategy maps & strategic objectives.
  • Conducting risk and control self-assessments.
  • Defining, managing and monitoring the initiatives and actions which make up the organisational change agenda.
  • Managing and monitoring KPI's, KRI's & KCI's using organisational and personal dashboards.
  • Defining Balanced Scorecards, with KPI's, initiatives and actions.
  • Defining and managing key emerging risks using risk maps.
  • Defining and monitoring Risk Appetite
  • Calculating, managing and monitoring the alignment of risk exposure to appetite.
  • Define and manage operational processes and systems, and monitoring their performance, risk and controls.
