Ottawa, ON (May 5, 2011) – It may be about risk, but it’s no risky venture for City of Ottawa’s Light Rail project. City employees have fully integrated a local software solution into the risk management of its Light Rail project to help avoid costly and time-consuming risk.
This local solution developed by Ottawa based company FIT Tracking Solutions, is a risk analysis application specifically configured for the city. “It’s a first for us, but it’s certainly not a first when it comes to providing tracking software,” said Robert Lacasse, Co-founder of FIT Tracking Solutions.
FIT software developed from an in-house need for a bug tracking tool in 1999, and like the city’s speeding Light Rail transportation, the software has sped up quickly in growth to numerous applications, from issue to project to helpdesk tracking to now risk analysis tracking.
“We’re always open to new ways to provide our customers with the tools they need,” said FIT Sales Manager, Caroline Redekopp, “you see a need, you fill it, that’s just good business.”
That good business sense led to the creation of the OLRT RAID or Ottawa Light Rail Track Risk Analysis. OLRT RAID was designed to systematically help users identify, analyze and respond to project risk maximizing the probability and consequences of positive risk and minimizing the probability and impact of negative risk.
The OLRT RAID system officially went into production November 2010 and is definitely on the right track with city employees. While the city’s no quote policy deters us from using direct quotes, we have been told FIT’s Risk Analysis Track is being well received and has now been fully integrated with the city’s Stakeholder Database.
