xMatters, Fusion Risk tackle supply chain

   xMatters and Fusion Risk Management have partnered to streamline and integrate their risk-to-response process for large firms’ supply chain operations.
   “Globally, thousands of companies struggle to identify risks and ensure an appropriate response to crisis events,” said David Nolan, chief executive officer of Illinois-based Fusion. “Countless millions of dollars and untold hours are annually invested in various activities.”
   The companies’ integration will allow the development of a streamlined solution that can assess risks and impacts across the entire enterprise and supply chain lifecycle; manage and maintain contingency plans and risk profiles; and initiate response activities to more effectively protect people and business assets.
   Using a cloud-based service allows these companies to combine the capabilities required by large organizations and a quick response by management for employees, assets, information, and brand, according to Troy McAlpin, CEO of London-based xMatters.
   The companies also said by combining their products will help users develop a crisis and disaster recovery plan with an emphasis on rapid mobility of incident response teams.
