ESS Unveils Breakthrough Software for Integrated EH&S and Crisis Management
Essential Suite(TM) (Version 6.0) is a browser-based solution for enterprise-level compliance and risk reduction
TEMPE, Ariz. - August 17, 2004 - ESS has announced a landmark release of its Essential Suite(TM) (Version 6.0) family of Environmental, Health & Safety (EH&S) and Crisis Management software - browser-based solutions that assure compliance, reduce risk and enhance business performance through integrated information management.
Essential Suite is the first enterprise-level system with the capacity to fully leverage EH&S and Crisis Management data for commercial and government organizations worldwide. The three modules included in this new release are:
· Essential Compliance Manager(TM) helps organizations manage critical EH&S responsibilities more easily, save time and money, delegate and monitor compliance activities, and automatically prove compliance.
· Essential Waste(TM) characterizes waste streams, monitors their flow, tracks waste containers and generates waste manifests and reports for regulatory compliance.
· Essential Incident Master(TM) is the only crisis management system that fully supports Incident Command System protocols mandated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and provides immediate access to vital EH&S data - e.g. Chemical Inventory information and MSDSs for first responders at hazmat incidents.
These modules join Essential Chemical Inventory(TM) and Essential MSDS Manager(TM) (released late last year in Version 6.0) as part of the most comprehensive suite in this market space. Essential Suite delivers:
· Lower costs, higher productivity - Centralized installations are easier to deploy and support yet browser access gives users faster, easier access to the information they need through a familiar interface.
· Unrivaled scalability, faster deployment - Essential Suite's database design and functionality are widely recognized as the most comprehensive and powerful in the industry. And the Microsoft.NET architecture of Version 6.0 takes advantage of the latest technological innovations to extend these benefits even further.
Essential Suite is available for both SQL Server and Oracle, and can be deployed as a browser-based, client server or hosted technology. Yet, the technology itself is only one of the suite's advantages, according to Robert Johnson, CEO of ESS.
"These products are developed by ESS' team of recognized EH&S and Crisis Management domain experts, top professionals who have years of experience delivering innovative business solutions," Mr. Johnson said. "Equally important, Essential Suite is backed by a wealth of technical support, training and professional service resources that no other company can match - because we want to make sure that every ESS client gets an outstanding return on their investment."
