Archer Exchange introduces ESG Scoring for Third Parties and the first Archer Accelerator in the August 2023 Quarterly Announcement

[SusanReadMiller]

Today marks the 7^th anniversary celebrating Archer Exchange quarterly announcements. The Archer Exchange has brought you 28 consecutive quarterly release announcements with new and updated offerings to help Archer administrators and risk managers augment their Archer implementations. The team has been hard at work on several new, highly requested offerings for this August 2023 announcement.

This quarter, we are introducing Archer ESG Score Connect, powered by CSRHub. This offering provides consensus ESG scores for over 52,000 companies across 100 industries using nearly 900 data sources. With Archer ESG Score Connect, you can combine data from 10 of the premier socially responsible investment (SRI) analysis firms, and over  600 nongovernment organizations (NGOs), government agencies, news feeds, social networking groups, and more. These scores provide additional transparency and clarity into third party vendors’ ESG practices and can be used for comparison and benchmarking.

In addition, we are introducing our first accelerator to the Archer Exchange. Accelerators take Archer’s out-of-the-box use cases and enhance or configure them to match the requirements for a specific geography, industry and more. Accelerators deliver pre-built configurations of an Archer use case to help you install those variations to your use case quickly and easily. This month, we are introducing the Archer Australian Incident Management Accelerator providing a streamlined Incident Management offering specific to Australian organizations. This offering simplifies workflow to create incidents, conduct compliance reviews, assign ownership, investigate, and close incidents. The offering also provides pre-built checklists for breach assessments to address the Australian Corporations Act, Reportable situation per Regulatory Guide 78 Breach reporting and Office of the Australian Information Commissions (OAIC).

Last, we are excited to announce that Archer Exchange Documentation has completed the move to the Archer Help Center.  All Archer Exchange Implementation Guides are now available on the Archer Help Center and links from our offering overview pages will take you directly to the guides on the Help Center. In addition, the Exchange Documentation category on the Archer Community redirects users to the Archer Help Center.

In addition to these new offerings, our team has also updated 1 app-pack, 2 tools & utilities, 13 integrations, and 5 offerings in our content library. Be sure to check out the Release Announcement with all resources related to this quarter’s announcement.
