Executive Summary
This report provides the fourth detailed fact-based comparison of the 20 most prominent EHS software vendors. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, the analysis is based on 2.5 hour live product demonstrations with pre-set scenarios, vendor responses to a 251-point questionnaire, interviews with 15 independent customers representing 10 industries who have bought, or are planning to buy, EHS software, and a survey of 301 EHS decision-makers. The analysis finds that acquisitions and investment rounds continue to reshape competitive dynamics putting pressure on vendors to invest in innovative technology. Customer purchase priorities are focused on user interface design, mobile capabilities, integrated EHS platforms and increasingly international presence. The analysis finds that 10 vendors currently lead the market in both momentum and software application capabilities whilst the other vendors have strong capabilities in specific areas such as chemicals management, environmental management, safety and risk.The State Of The Market For EHS Software
