Environmental Protection’s panel of esteemed judges[1] recognizes ‘Management of Change’ module for reducing the risk, time and costs associated with environmental and safety changes
TORONTO, ON (January 6, 2017) – Medgate, the global leader in providing enterprise-grade, SaaS-based Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) risk management solutions has won Environmental Protection Magazine’s 2016 New Product of the Year Award in the Software/SaaS category. The award was given for the introduction of Medgate’s powerful yet intuitive Management of Change module.
Medgate’s new Management of Change module allows users of its industry-leading platform to take control of their internal processes. By effectively managing change within their organization, Medgate clients can improve compliance by reducing and controlling the risk associated with change. The module aligns users with Process Safety Management regulations and other industry standards and is part of major investments that Medgate continues to make in its Environmental Management and Safety suites.
Medgate’s nomination for this key award centered on Medgate’s subject matter experts and how they applied their deep industry knowledge to create a simple and intuitive user experience linked to a powerful enterprise back end. This allows users to configure and trigger sophisticated business rules to manage change across their operations, no matter how complex.
Medgate’s Environmental, Health and Safety Software/SaaS solution was recognized because:
- Users can define workflows and approval processes to manage every aspect of change with Environmental Management Software and Safety Management Software. It includes the five most commonly used workflows pre-configured out of the box: Equipment, Process, Chemical, Personnel and Procedure.
- The solution merges a simple, intuitive drag and drop user experience alongside Medgate’s powerful Business Rule engine.
- It ensures all required changes are tracked and approved using the correct process, greatly reducing the risk, time and cost associated with change in the organization.
“We are proud of this recognition of our investment and innovation in Environmental and Safety solutions,” said John Easton, Director of Product Management at Medgate, “It all starts with the deep industry expertise of the Medgate team. They have been in the shoes of our customers. This expertise, manifested in the power of our SaaS software platform, is unbeatable in the market.”
“Our 2016 Awards attracted high-quality, innovative entries in every category, which is one more encouraging sign that the environmental marketplace is dynamic and growing,” Environmental Protection’s Editorial Director Jerry Laws said, “I congratulate Medgate and all of the entrants on their fine work and thank them for participating.”
