EHS Systems Making Major Impact with Overseas Companies

March 6th, 2007

I returned recently from a business trip to Asia in January. I was in China, Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Thailand, the Middle East and India visiting with our international partners and customers. One of my meetings was at PetroChina in Beijing where our complete EHS software platform has been deployed.

This is the first and largest enterprise-wide software system implemented in China for environmental, health, and safety. The deployment encompasses more than 10,000 ESS licenses used in 41 branches. Each of these branches supports between 2 to 10 plants across China. What is even more exciting is that we have localized their software platform so that it displays all their safety data in Mandarin Chinese.

IBM Global Services implemented the project. I am proud to say it was a success and is now expanding to its parent company, China National Petroleum Company. While there I met with the CIO of both PetroChina and CNPC who discussed how our products are being used to help protect employees’ health and safety and reducing the environmental impact of their oil and gas operations.

In the Middle East, I met with our customers Kuwait National Petroleum Company in Kuwait and Abu Dhabi Oil Company. They shared with me how ESS software is being used to not only help manage the environmental emissions of their assets, but also how the software is helping them show their communities proof of their environmental leadership. Here is what they had to say about their accomplishments in their own words.

Frankly, it is at times like these that I am taken aback when I realize what an impact ESS is having globally helping organizations execute on their corporate strategies and initiatives for environmental sustainability and health and safety. ESS is now positioned where I wanted it to be 14 years ago when I started the company.

But what does that mean for our customers? Simply put, decision makers from corporate leaders to government agency heads trust our solutions to help them mitigate operational risks, lower costs and reduce their environmental footprint. We have the full range of environmental, health, safety and crisis management solutions that will help your company meet its triple bottom line objectives. No other company comes close.

We have worked hard to earn the trust of customers, and our products and services are delivering on that promise. Now we’re taking additional steps to ensure that our products and services continue to meet our customers’ expectations as we grow.

ESS is making tremendous investments in our company to better serve both U.S. and global markets. We will continue our precedent of defining the market and demonstrating to our customers that we deliver our Operational Risk Management solutions both as enterprise solutions to meet the needs of global companies who want a centralized approach, and decentralized local solutions to address issues at a specific facility. We think this is a winning combination that will resonate among decision makers at all levels and in any organization.

This year, we also are looking to strengthen our top-tier partnerships, many that were forged in 2006, to take us further in both domestic and global markets. We’re especially eager to continue our growth among companies in the Asia-Pacific region, and we are moving into Europe as well. We think we have all of the components to make 2007 another banner year for ESS. I’ll continue to share details with you in the weeks to come.
