London, UK – 2 May 2023 – Protecht, a leader in risk and resilience software, today announced that it has introduced its new Protecht EMEA Partner Programme, which will enable customers across all industry sectors to maximise the benefits that its solutions can provide to their 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 drive recruitment of new partners for continued strategic growth in the EMEA region.
Three pillars of the new EMEA partner programme
The programme is aimed to support 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. It is designed to drive partners’ services and unlock new revenue streams across the full lifecycle of risk and operational resilience and meet the challenges of new and evolving regulatory requirements.
Leading strategic partners on board
First to sign up to the EMEA Partner Programme are two existing customers, complimentary experts in their field of Governance Risk and Compliance (GRC).
LexisNexis is a leading 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 own services with the Protecht.ERM platform and helping companies manage their regulatory risk through a comprehensive obligations register and alerts.
Myfanwy Wallwork, VP Regulatory Compliance Global, LexisNexis says: “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 approach to operational risk and resilience management.
Jakes de Kock, Marketing Director, Fourthline says: "I'm thrilled about the collaboration between Fourthline and Protecht, and how it can 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."
