Executive Summary
This report draws on, and contains an extract from, the Verdantix analysis originally published in the 2023 Green Quadrant for process safety management (PSM) software (see Verdantix Green Quadrant: Process Safety Management Software 2023). In this benchmark report, we provide an analysis of the functionality offered by 15 PSM vendors, against 17 assessment criteria, to help operations and process safety managers and executives find the best-fit control of work (CoW) software for their purposes. The results reveal that most PSM software vendors offer strong capabilities for CoW, with Enablon, Intelex and Sphera leading the market. When shortlisting vendors, buyers should consider software that offers critical event management (CEM) and remote assistance capabilities, simple mobile experiences tailored for frontline workers, and advanced 3D visualizations for simultaneous operations (SIMOPS).Safe operations drive demand for CoW software
