IT Performance Has Not Been Guaranteed—Until Now!
Technology is among the top three expense categories for most U.S. corporations, but it's not protected against default. While IT spending and failure rates increase, late and over-budget IT projects continue to become a common occurrence—and companies are left with minimal protection and remedy for their challenged investment.

Fortera offers an IT Project Guaranty for qualified projects. This first-to-market guaranty authorizes Fortera to assume the financial risk from the IT buyer in the event that the systems integrator does not perform their contractual duties.

Market studies with more than 400 financial executives concluded that protecting their strategic IT initiatives with a risk transfer vehicle is a timely alterative to contingency budgets that have ranged from 25 to 50% of the IT services contract.

Risk Transfer Products Expanding to Protect IT Investments
Fortera is currently working with leading insurance carriers to define and develop risk capacity to expand Fortera’s IT risk management offerings to include an insurance-backed risk transfer component.

Fortera’s Missouri Method®, the company’s approach to identifying and controlling IT risk, is the key enabler of the insurance offering, serving as the underwriting and loss control methodology.
