Selecting the right advisors is critical to EHS software project success

If you are considering taking the leap from spreadsheets, small databases and manual processes to centralized environment, health & safety (EHS) software, then you may need outside help. Choosing the right party to help you is perhaps more important than choosing the right software. Enterprise EHS management information systems project can take several person-years of effort and carry a hefty price tag. These initiatives involve a variety of stakeholders with different agendas, requirements and priorities. If you need an EHS software consultant, how do you qualify and select one?

A new IT Insight column, Tips for Selecting an EHS Software Consultant appears in the June edition of EM magazine. This column provides tips and selection criteria than can enhance your organization’s chances for EHS IT project success.
