Opta Information Intelligence and its sister company Risk Management Services (RMS) have announced the integration of both their companies.

The companies – both members of the SCM Group of Companies – will combine their data, analytical power and field expertise to create “Canada’s leading property risk intelligence and loss control service,” a release said.

“We are very excited to integrate our teams to build on their collective expertise to further propel insurance services in Canada,” said Opta president Greg McCutcheon. “Through internal discussions, it became apparent there was an opportunity to provide our customers with a streamlined experience that was truly national in scope to meet their ever-changing needs.”

As part of the integration, McCutcheon will continue to serve as president of Opta. Opta will also retain its corporate brand, while RMS will rebrand as Precise Field Services, offering residential and commercial loss services across Canada.

“Opta, with its Precise Field Services Division, is further evidence of SCM’s commitment to help our clients deliver more value to their customers in the ongoing digital transformation of the P&C industry,” added SCM CEO Bob Fitzgerald.

Opta Information Intelligence is the largest aggregator of property risk information in Canada and is also a leading property intelligence provider. The addition of Precise Field Services gives the company access to the property insurer’s field experts all across the country, enhancing Opta’s data quality and underwriting accuracy.
