SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - December 22, 2008) - Locus Technologies, the industry leader
in web-based environmental compliance and information management software,
announced today the roll out of its updated eEHS on-demand environmental
health and safety software, specifically designed to serve the
multi-national marketplace.
The updated eEHS module enables enterprises to collect compliance
information from any location at any time via a native Web 2.0 platform,
using a simple, intuitive interface. eEHS enables customers to easily
review and evaluate data, spot issues or trends, and create reports and
roll ups on corporate EHS status. With eEHS, companies centrally manage
and report in real time all governance, risk and compliance (GRC) data,
including greenhouse gas (GHG), Sarbanes-Oxley, energy consumption and
water and waste usage information.
In response to an increased focus on greenhouse gas reporting,
environmental sustainability and GRC reporting, Locus revamped its eEHS
application, enhancing environmental and sustainability indicator tracking
and reporting. Key new features include the addition of a robust ad hoc
query capability that produces boardroom quality reports with a single
mouse click -- all delivered through Cloud computing or SaaS. eEHS's new
multi-language capability significantly enhances the user experience and
reduces training. Because eEHS is offered via the Internet, there is no
software to install and no hardware to purchase, streamlining global roll
outs and reducing costs.
One of Locus' long term customers, Alstom, an international leader in
equipment and services for power generation and rail transport solutions,
recently deployed the enhanced Locus eEHS worldwide. Operating in more than
70 countries and employing some 76,000 people, Alstom is enjoying the
improved work flow and ease of data collection offered by eEHS. Sustainable
development is central to the Alstom strategy and Locus software is helping
Alstom meet its strategic goals.
"Locus eEHS is elegant in its simplicity," said Locus President and CEO
Neno Duplancic. "Collecting and reporting KPI information from hundreds of
global locations is a challenge faced by every company operating
internationally. Locus' eEHS solves this problem by offering a very
targeted software application via the Web, making data collection
painless."
"Our web-based eEHS provides businesses instant access to global
information at a fraction of the cost of any installed on premises system,"
continued Duplancic. "With the new regulations dealing with global warming
issues just around the corner, companies must manage EHS issues carefully
to avoid the risk of non-compliance. Now Locus' customers have an on-demand
software tool that consolidates all reporting activities into a single
platform and that carries no implementation risk."
