The task reminders are invaluable as it means I can quickly review the work I have to do. The system offers a multitude of options for the effective management of risk and compliance. I have previously used JCAD's claim management software and I am pleased to say that JCAD Core Risk Management system seems to have been developed as effectively as their claims system, by developers who know just what a user needs. While I am an end user, not the team supporting the business with risk management, I am pleased with JCAD Core.

Performance and Risk Manager Government Administration ### "W have recently upgraded from JCAD RIsk to JCAD CORE and use the system to manage our ERM framework " 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 November 15, 2017 Simple, quick Pros There are many positives, including very good value for money. The extent it can be tailored to specific needs and the addition of new features and functionality gives it significant future proofing for our needs, although we do have a number of suggestions for further enhancements/changes. Cons As different users have different access permissions what is displayed on e.g. dashboards only covers those records they can see. However, this is not clear on the screens when viewed and could therefore lead to some confusion/misleading information. A message linking to their access permissions etc would add this clarity - e.g. This displays only 'Resources' business unit records. We also have a number of other suggestions for enhancements and changes, e.g. secondary filters for dashboards.
