This report helps corporate managers at small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) understand the most impactful use cases for environment, health and safety (EHS) software solutions and evaluate their relevancy to their own EHS operations. The rise of Industry 4.0 has left SMEs wondering how to maximize the impact of their technology investments.
