Gain increased value from your vendors through an Integrated Third-Party Governance & Risk Management (i-TPGRM) solution.

A paradigm-shift is happening that requires organizations to adopt a new mind-set and technology-set when managing third-party relationships.

Digitally transforming organizations are shifting from pure ‘Cost’ focus to a cost plus ‘Shared Risk’ & ‘Value’ focus when engaging with strategic third-party vendors which is also a growing reflection of organizational recognition that third-parties can in-fact create strategic win-win opportunities.

These new age partnerships require a different approach to managing third parties. Organizations cannot view risk as a stand-alone factor when engaging with a third-party. That's why organizations need to integrate relationship, governance and risk management when dealing with Third Parties.
