Fusion Risk Management’s Expansive Product Innovation and New Client Acquisition Fuel Dramatic Annual Growth in 2021

Commitment to customer centricity and community growth drive continued momentum as more firms turn to Fusion to drive their operational resilience needs and meet new regulatory requirements

CHICAGO & LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fusion Risk Management, Inc. (“Fusion”), a leading provider of operational resilience, business continuity, and risk management software and services, today announced record results from 2021. Driven by continued product innovation and its focus on customer centricity, Fusion recorded significant global client growth across industries, particularly with global financial institutions including four of the top global banks and an additional top 25 financial institutions. Global institutions continue to choose the Fusion Framework System to support their cross operational resilience capabilities and rely on Fusion’s cloud-based management system to help manage crises and dispersed workforces, mitigate risk, create efficiency, protect customer trust, and ultimately ensure resilience and business continuity.

Throughout 2021, Fusion worked closely with clients to help them navigate the evolving risk landscape. The company launched significant enhancements to the Fusion Framework System to deliver a data-driven structure that eliminates the need for separate modules across the areas of business continuity and risk management and brings them together under a single comprehensive umbrella of operational resilience. To meet client and market demand, Fusion introduced numerous new framework capabilities to provide data-driven insights that enable customers to make informed decisions regarding risk tolerance and implement the proper protections to ensure minimum disruption and foster heightened resilience. These include:

• Fusion Analytics – A platform capability that provides organizations with enhanced data insights to bolster their resilience posture
• Scenario Testing – A purpose-built functionality that provides organizations with the ability to test and analyze the impact of severe but plausible events in real-time
• Dynamic Response Console – An agile solution which uses the foundational data gathered from a company’s static data plans and reorganizes the information in a way that most efficiently informs an up-to-date response

“For over 15 years, Fusion has continued to invest in our people, products and professional services and focused on working in partnership with our clients to create a more resilient world together,” said Michael Campbell, Chief Executive Officer, Fusion. “Our record 2021 results are a testament to our focus on customer centricity, technology innovation, and our connected community. This positions us for continued global success in 2022. Each employee at Fusion is committed to driving customer success and helping our global clients create a culture of operational resilience, and we are excited to continue providing best-in-class solutions to exceed our client’s operational resilience and regulatory needs.”
