Por qué debería elegir MonitorPro como su EDMS

Operations which have the potential to pollute the environment are subject to environmental rules and regulations, and as part of these environmental monitoring and the collection of data is required.  This collected data is then compared to compliance levels to ensure a site is not operating above a pre-defined limit.   This generates large amounts of environmental data from various sources including ground water, data loggers, field data, and laboratory results.

To effectively manage this data and avoid having numerous spreadsheets containing this information which can be error prone and require a significant amount of time to undertake analysis an Environmental Data Management System (EDMS) is needed which efficiently collects and stores the data saving time, money, data errors an in turn reduces the risk of non-compliance and associated fines and prosecution.

There are a number of requirements to consider when selecting an EDMS, ensuring a system meets these requirements is essential for making sure the best system for your environmental data management is implemented.

The EDMS should be from a provider that is well established and experienced in its field, and can support and develop the product for the expected life of your project.

MonitorPro has over 25 years of experience, with over 200 clients and 3,000 users worldwide.  Our team have been recruited not only from within IT but also from environmental and technical backgrounds, and all have a long track record of using, administering and developing Environmental and Sustainability Data Management Software.  MonitorPro also has the MCERTS certification, meaning assessments of MonitorPro’s software coding standards and procedures, as well as an assessment of functionality and data integrity rules specific to managing environmental reporting data have been undertaken.  MonitorPro was the first complete environmental monitoring data management solution to attain this standard, this means you can be sure that quality control is first and foremost with MonitorPro.

There are a number of EDMS flexibility issues that need to be clearly identified:

• Is the EDMs flexible to your companies requirements or will you have to compromise?
• Can it grow with your businesses needs?
• Is customisation available and will it be supported long term?

The MonitorPro team have provided many bespoke solutions over the years. All our development is completed and supported by our experienced team.

An EDMS should be able to create monitoring schedules and keep track of the completed progress while validating and automating the importing and exporting of data to the database. Some environmental permits also contain complex requirements and it is important to ensure that an EDMS can meet these.

MonitorPro has a number of features which ensures these requirements are met:

• Herramienta de programación flexible y fácil de usar para planificar y comprobar que la supervisión se programa y finaliza a tiempo.
• Automated reporting, importing, exporting, and reminder tasks to cover your permit reporting requirements.
• Motor de cálculo altamente configurable.
• Visualización profesional de datos y cuadros de mando.
• Informes flexibles y personalizables con cuadros de mando dinámicos.
• Potente tecnología de cartografía e imágenes por satélite.
• Integración con aplicaciones externas.

Database security is essential for an EDMS and there are a number of areas that need to be considered, including restricting access to different datasets, read only roles, locked datasets, and audit trails.  The security measures of the EDMS provider also need to be identified.

MonitorPro provides a number of database security features including:

• Ability to select access permissions to MonitorPro and the database, determining what can be accessed and edited by each user.
• Full audit trails of all changes made to the database.

In addition to having the MCERTS Certification, EHS Data takes cyber security seriously and as a result is both ISO 27001 Certified and Cyber Essentials Certified.

Licensing and hosting options vary depending upon the EDMS provider and it is important to ensure you select the correct one for your business and its needs.  Differences in ongoing support packages also need considering depending upon the level of support that will be required.

• Renting MonitorPro licenses and hosting with us (SaaS).
