ESS Introduces EH&S Performance Software for Operational Excellence
TEMPE, Ariz. – May 7, 2007 – ESS, the leading provider of Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) and Crisis Management software, today unveiled a powerful new tool that helps enterprises drive daily operational excellence in order to achieve their strategic governance, risk and compliance (GRC) goals. Its name is Essential Performance Manager™.
Essential Performance Manager enables organizations to measure and communicate how their EH&S and crisis programs are operating so decision makers can manage the business more effectively. It provides an intuitive and flexible data collection framework with powerful reporting and analytic tools for tracking key performance indicators (KPI), incident data and other metrics in order to drive process improvements that resonate from the production floor to the boardroom.
Many professionals often spend hours creating reports of performance data for their stakeholders from data contained in dozens of disparate software platforms. Often, they must resort to manual processes to create those reports because it is difficult to move data across systems. Now there is a better way.
Essential Performance Manager is the business intelligence engine of Essential Suite™, the fully integrated software platform for comprehensive EH&S and crisis management. Essential Performance Manager includes a browser-based interface and optimized data mart that enables users to create or manage KPIs using data from Essential Suite modules – for air, water, waste, emergencies, compliance and tasking. Then Essential Performance Manager analyzes the results and helps generate easy-to-read dashboard displays and reports.
“With Essential Performance Manager, decision makers can access KPIs with a near-real time view of their business unit performance relative to corporate and industry benchmarks,” said Robert Johnson, ESS President/CEO. “Then they can quickly and easily share that valuable business intelligence with other decision makers throughout the organization in order to assure EH&S regulatory compliance, reduce operational risks and fulfill their corporate governance responsibilities.”
