Streamlining EHS Software Selection For A Global Pharmaceutical Firm

Challenge

Our client, a leading pharmaceutical firm, faced a significant challenge related to their Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) software. Their incumbent EHS software provider repeatedly fell short of delivering on its product roadmap, and the software could no longer adequately support their evolving business requirements. This posed a critical issue as EHS management is a pivotal aspect of pharmaceutical operations, involving regulatory compliance, safety protocols, and environmental stewardship.

Solution

To address this pressing challenge, Verdantix proposed a strategic solution that encompassed the following steps:

1. Product Benchmarking: leveraging our existing product benchmark, known as the "Green Quadrant: EHS Software," Verdantix initiated the process by shortlisting commercial EHS software solutions. These selections were made with a focus on meeting the client's specific business requirements, including technical, functional, and organizational considerations.
2. Comparative Strength Assessment: Verdantix assessed the relative strength of the shortlisted EHS software solutions in comparison to the client's existing supplier. This assessment encompassed multiple dimensions, such as functionality, technical capabilities, and alignment with the organization's specific needs.

Outcome

The streamlined approach taken by Verdantix yielded rapid results:

1. Informed Decision-Making: in just over two months, the client was equipped with a fact-based, robust decision-making framework and were able to select a new EHS software vendor that was a far better fit for their organization's evolving requirements.
2. Time and Resource Savings: the accelerated decision-making process saved the company significant time and resources that would have otherwise been spent on extensive due diligence and evaluation of potential software vendors.
3. Enhanced Confidence: the client's decision to change vendors was not only swift but also well-informed. The use of Verdantix's expertise and benchmarking data provided additional confidence and validation in their choice, ensuring that the transition to a new EHS software solution proceeded smoothly.

In conclusion, Verdantix's data-driven approach to EHS software selection enabled the client to swiftly address a critical business challenge. By identifying and selecting a more suitable software vendor, they improved their EHS management capabilities, streamlined their operations, and achieved a greater level of confidence in their technology decisions.
