Independent risk management software company, Riskonnect, Inc. announced today that Steve Schmutz, founder of MountainView Software, has joined Riskonnect’s rapidly growing, best-of-breed team, as Director of Operations, Western Region. With more than 15 years of risk management experience and leadership, Schmutz brings his extensive software and technology expertise to the Riskonnect team. Now only three years since its inception, Riskonnect has assembled a team with unparalleled expertise.

“Synergy has new meaning at Riskonnect. Steve is a terrific addition for us. He rounds out our team of leaders from many different risk management technology organizations. Steve was developing innovative technology solutions at MountainView Software as early as 1997. Features and functionality we have all dreamed of creating are all coming together for Riskonnect clients. We have the people, the platform and the products to enable professionals in this industry to lead their organization’s strategic and insurable risk management efforts,” said Bob Morrell, CEO of Riskonnect.

“When I learned that Riskonnect was built on the Force.com Platform, it really caught my attention. I have used the Salesforce.com Platform for years, and I know how powerful it is. And, when I saw that Roger Dunkin was a part of the Riskonnect team, any concerns I had about a new company were answered,” Steve said. “I am very excited about the team and technology at Riskonnect. The Riskonnect technology platform really lends itself to much faster implementation times and superior products. There are so many advantages to these products sitting on the cloud platform. Performance, downtime and loss of data are just not concerns. Upgrades have always been simplified in a web environment, but this takes that to a new level. As I look at the products Riskonnect has built in its three inaugural years and the brand name client base of very complex accounts, I continue to get excited about where we can take this.”

“We are proud to have Steve as a part of our Professional Services team. He is responsible for expansion of our western region operations through successful implementation and ongoing technical services of Riskonnect products. Steve’s expertise in claims administration software aligns itself with the Riskonnect stated goal of providing broad-based risk technology solutions,” said Roger Dunkin, Vice President of Professional Services.

Schmutz founded MountainView Software, as a training and consulting company, in 1994. He built the company into a national leader in the insurance claims and reporting industry with the development of a software package for reporting and managing worker’s compensation and liability claims. The company was acquired by Gallagher Bassett in the summer of 2002. Currently, MountainView Software is a division of Gallagher Bassett Services, Inc., which is part of the Arthur J. Gallagher family of companies.

Most recently Schmutz served in Senior Executive roles at Arbinger Business Services, Gallagher Bassett, and Steve Schmutz & Associates. 

Celebrating its three-year anniversary this month, Riskonnect’s growing suite of risk management software products have been widely accepted by global name brand clients. The demand for its products and services, including Riskonnect ERM (Enterprise Risk Management), Riskonnect Incident Management, Riskonnect Certificates and Riskonnect RMIS (Risk Management Information System), has created the need to recruit new staff across many departments. Professionals wanting to be a part of this elite team should contact Riskonnect immediately, but, according to Riskonnect CEO, Bob Morrell, “only the best should apply.”
