	Full Life-Cycle Risk Management from Initiation to Completion
	Fortera manages the risks of your IT investments with a unique combination of services based upon proven risk mitigation methods of the construction industry. We will help you select a software consultant and application, negotiate a contract to establish accountability, and perform an ongoing audit of the progress until the project is complete. For qualified projects, Fortera also offers an IT project guaranty, which enables the IT buyer to transfer risk to Fortera for a specified financial limit.
	The foundation of our risk management strategy is the Missouri Method®. Named for the "Show Me" state, the Missouri Method is a systematic way of identifying, assessing, and controlling risk for a greater return on your IT investment across three critical categories—people, process, and technology. Risk factors that are assessed and controlled include: › Project organization › Project sponsorship › Requisite skills of team members › Project management › Component fit › Contracts
