Protecht launches EMEA Partner Programme

Risk software creator Protecht has introduced its new Protecht EMEA Partner Programme, which it says will enable customers across industry sectors to maximise Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) practices.

The programme launches with LexisNexis, and Fourthline as inaugural partners, with newly appointed Head of Partnerships & Alliances EMEA, Ann Rodley, leading the programme to recruit new partners for continued strategic growth in the EMEA region.

The programme supports partnerships with risk advisory firms and regulatory intelligence providers and is built on three pillars: a simple contracting and onboarding process; a competitive commercial model deal registration; and sales, technical and marketing training and support.

The first to sign up to the EMEA Partner Programme are two existing customers, complimentary experts in their Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC) field.

LexisNexis is a global supplier of information and technology solutions to legal, risk management, corporate, government, law enforcement, tax, accounting, and academic professionals. LexisNexis has been working with Protecht since 2016, integrating some of its services with Protecht.ERM platform and helping companies manage their regulatory risk through comprehensive obligations register and alerts.

LexisNexis VP Regulatory Compliance Global Myfanwy Wallwork said: “Our industry partnership allows us to collaborate, and provide a consistent and seamless risk management experience for our clients. We have worked closely together for years and this new Protecht EMEA Partner Programme provides the ideal opportunity to deepen our relationship, reach new markets and develop original products and services.”

Fourthline is a non-financial risk and resilience consulting and advisory firm working with financial sector clients to enhance their operational risk and resilience management approach.

The company’s marketing director Jakes de Kock said the collaboration between Fourthline and Protecht, could elevate our risk and resilience offerings for our clients.

“By merging Fourthline’s deep operational resilience expertise with Protecht’s cutting-edge resilience software, we can deliver a comprehensive operational resilience managed service to our financial service clients,” he said.
