Executive Summary

This report provides a detailed fact-based comparison of the most prominent environment, health and safety (EHS) software platform vendors. Based on the proprietary Verdantix Green Quadrant methodology, the analysis encompasses three-hour live product demonstrations with pre-set scenarios and vendor responses to a 332-point questionnaire covering 7 technical, 19 functional and 11 market momentum categories. Verdantix also conducted interviews with more than 15 software users and reviewed the data from our global survey of 301 EHS decision-makers. The analysis finds that the EHS software market has undergone substantial transformation, with more than 40 transactions taking place within the last two years. Growing EHS collaboration with operations and the desire for integrated risk management drive customer visions and requirements. Among the vendors featured in the Leaders’ Quadrant, six firms—Benchmark Digital, Cority, Enablon, Intelex, Sphera and VelocityEHS—offered the most robust all-round EHS software platform capabilities.
