SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - February 20, 2008) - Locus Technologies, the world leader in
on-demand environmental data and information management software, today
announced that it has received a 2007 Business Achievement Award in
Information Technology (IT) from the Environmental Business Journal (EBJ).
This award recognizes Locus for achieving record sales to new Fortune 100
customers and for adding more than 30,000 new sites to its popular EIM
database, representing a 600% increase over 2006.
Locus was also recognized for introducing the environmental industry's
first "software as a service" (SaaS) environmental portal (ePortal) to its
Fortune 100 customers. Locus' ePortal provides customers with a
user-friendly interface to environmental information, business analytics
and direct integration with Locus' EIM environmental database. ePortal is
based on next-generation portal technology that enables seamless
information integration across multiple sources and includes sophisticated
data mashups for enhanced environmental data visualization.
"We are honored to be recognized by the Environmental Business Journal for
our sales and technical achievement," said Neno Duplancic, President and
CEO of Locus Technologies. "2007 was an outstanding year for Locus. We
introduced an entirely new category of product for the environmental
industry, and we significantly enhanced our Fortune 100 customer base who
embraced our new offerings."
Locus plans to keep the momentum going in 2008 with continued innovation in
its products. According to Duplancic, "It's no surprise that consumer
social networking sites are driving business demand. After all, all the
new Web 2.0 features people use everyday become so ingrained in our lives,
we begin to demand the same features in business products." Social
Computing is radically changing today's definition of collaboration and ECM
(enterprise content management), prompting corporate environmental managers
to reconsider how to make it easier for teams of environmental
professionals to collaborate and securely manage content both inside and
outside the organization.
After adopting the ePortal platform in 2007, Locus is perfectly positioned
to add the features to ePortal that environmental customers are demanding,
including enhanced collaboration and communication tools and more data
mashups. Already in progress are enhanced linkages with Google Earth and
GIS programs to extend ePortal's mapping capabilities and enhanced business
analytics to report enterprise environmental sustainability parameters.
