TEMPE, Ariz. – April 27, 2009 – ESS, the leading provider of Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) and Crisis Management software, today announced that corporate and public initiatives to reach enterprise sustainability goals continue to drive market demand for integrated EH&S solutions and generate new ESS sales wins.
Robert Johnson, ESS President and CEO, said that today's highly competitive marketplace and expanding regulatory requirements are fueling increased interest in the company's software solutions for greenhouse gas/carbon management, health and safety management, environmental compliance, crisis management and corporate responsibility reporting.
"Even in this tough business climate, ESS sales are growing," Johnson said. "More and more organizations are realizing that our integrated software platform can help them not only assure compliance but also reduce operating costs by reducing the number of information systems they must support and streamlining critical work processes."
ESS' solutions have recently been selected by a broad variety of organizations – large and small, industry and government, U.S. and international – including Archer Daniels Midland, Chugach Government Services, City of Chandler (AZ), ConAgra Foods, Edison Mission Energy, EPCOR Utilities, Regina Qu'Appelle Health Region, Romanian Air Traffic Services and University of California, Riverside as well as dozens of additional firms from the oil and gas, manufacturing, utility, consumer products and government sectors.
"Our clients are moving ahead with a broad range of EH&S sustainability management initiatives," Johnson continued. "ESS makes it easy and cost-effective by giving them the flexibility to select only the modules they need and their choice of onsite, hosted or on-demand delivery. We can also help them leverage existing IT investments through unparalleled interoperability with other key systems, including process historians and enterprise asset management systems."
