About David Tweedy

David A. Tweedy is an independent RMIS, claims and risk management consultant with nearly five decades of experience in the property and casualty insurance industry. He began his career as a claims adjuster in 1977 and has since advised corporations, public entities, insurance pools, insurers and other organizations on risk management technology, claims operations and RMIS strategy.



Since 1985, Tweedy has independently evaluated the RMIS marketplace, producing some of the industry's earliest comparative research, including the Betterley, John Liner and RMIS Review reports. He later co-founded and co-authored the RMIS Report, continuing his work to help organizations understand an increasingly complex RMIS marketplace and make informed technology decisions.

Today, through Tweedy Risk Information Consulting, LLC, he provides vendor-neutral advice on RMIS selection and evaluation, claims technology, risk management processes and insurance pool strategies. His perspective is grounded in decades of buyer-side and consulting experience; he has never been employed by an RMIS software vendor.

Experience. Independence. Perspective.

Tweedy Risk Information Consulting was founded by David A. Tweedy, an independent risk-management consultant with nearly five decades of experience spanning claims, risk management, consulting, and risk-management technology.

David's career and expertise have focused particularly on Risk Management Information

Systems (RMIS), claims technology, risk-management processes, and the evaluation of technology used by organizations to manage risk information.

His approach is straightforward:

Technology should serve the organization's risk-management strategy—not the other way around.

David has evaluated the RMIS marketplace through multiple generations of technology.

Beginning in 1985, he developed successive generations of comprehensive evaluations of RMIS systems and the marketplace, including The RMIS Review and later the RMIS Report.



That experience provides a perspective that extends beyond individual software products. It includes an understanding of how RMIS technology has evolved and how organizations can evaluate systems based on their actual business and operational requirements.

Professional Background

David's professional experience includes work across claims, risk management, consulting, and technology. According to his professional background, he has worked with organizations including Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, Betterley Risk Consultants, Deloitte, IBM Global Services, Marsh Risk Consulting, and Albert Risk Management Consultants, in addition to his own consulting practices.

Education & Credentials

David Tweedy holds a Bachelor of Science degree, Magna Cum Laude, from the University of Massachusetts and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Rhode Island. He also holds the Certified Management Consultant (CMC) designation.

David's consulting philosophy is based on a simple principle:

Understand the organization's needs first. Evaluate the technology second.



Rather than promoting a particular software platform, Tweedy Risk Information Consulting helps organizations understand their requirements, evaluate alternatives, and make informed decisions about RMIS, claims technology, and risk-management processes.

After decades of consulting and developing independent perspectives on the RMIS marketplace, David Tweedy returned to active consulting through Tweedy Risk Information Consulting with a renewed focus on RMIS, claims technology, risk pools, and independent risk-management technology consulting.



The mission remains the same:

Help organizations make better risk-management and technology decisions through objective, experienced advice.
