eSpheres’ services are delivered as well in an On Demand as in an Outsourcing mode, providing industries with business benefits that are simply not possible with traditional client/server/ On premise approach. Among them are global access, unique data security management, seamless collaboration, and painless, automatic software and regulatory content upgrades.

HSE outsourcing helps your company stay ahead by overcoming the challenges of administrative overload, legislative compliance, multi-country regulatory watch, and the multi-level complexities that today’s HSE departments face.

Outsourcing is generally regarded as a method for streamlining and reducing operating costs. At eSpheres, we also add the strategic advantages gained by using our integrated HSE systems in an outsourced environment – delivering far-reaching business benefits, embedding Safety Data Sheets’ structured data content into our unique HSE reporting and analytics solutions.

More globally, eSpheres Cloud HSE services bring the following advantages:

• Rapid and easy start: All you need to start using eSpheres is an Internet connection and a standard web browser. With a series of pre-configured HSE functionalities, eSpheres can get you up and running in a matter of hours or days – not the months or years required for traditional client/server enterprise systems.
• Reduced capital and operating costs: As a subscription-based service, eSpheres requires no upfront capital investment and allows customers to pay as they go. We give you the flexibility to scale up or down as your business changes; you pay only for the services you need, when you need them.
• Lowest total cost of ownership: With eSpheres, you avoid the hidden costs and hassles of traditional client/server enterprise systems. eSpheres is an HSE On Demand (SaaS) / Outsourcing (Information Management Outsourcing) service provider, so there’s no software or hardware to buy, no expensive installations, no maintenance fees, no costly upgrades, and no incremental IT resources required.
• Global access, anytime, anywhere: As a secure, internet-based service, eSpheres provides 24/7 access to members of your HSE team and extended supply chain everywhere in the world. Once you’ve granted them permission, any employee, supplier or partner can access up-to-date product data just by logging into eSpheres from a standard Web browser.
• Seamless collaboration: eSpheres enables your HSE members, members of other departments required to interact in your HSE processes, your suppliers and customers to collaborate around the latest data, using only a Web browser and an Internet connection.
• Powerful data management: By definition, HSE information is complex collections of interlinked information, connecting the data from your products, employees, customers, suppliers, R&D, production and logistics. Without a tool like eSpheres, the only way to capture these relationships is with complicated formulas in individual Excel sheets and fragile links between spreadsheets and IT data bases. The quality of that data is only as good as each team member’s Excel skills, and even the most carefully crafted macros can break when just a single change is made. With eSpheres, all of your data is managed in a powerful relational database designed specifically to capture interconnected product information, and every member of your team is using a system that enforces best practices in HSE processes.
• Built-in innovation: By constantly innovating eSpheres’ services and automatically providing every single customer with multiple upgrades each year, eSpheres removes the headaches of managing software and frees companies to focus on innovating their own products. In contrast, with a client/server solution, you might get an update installed every two to three years, but only after tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of Euros in upgrade, maintenance and consulting fees. With eSpheres, you always have access to the latest features, HSE regulatory content and functionality. Seamlessly. Effortlessly. Painlessly.
• Performance guarantees and network availability: With a true multi-tenant, On Demand system and information management outsourcing systems, eSpheres has only one, shared infrastructure to maintain and can give customers a level of network uptime and availability far beyond what they could provide for themselves with a traditional client/server solution.
• World-class security: eSpheres protects our customers’ data in a highly secure environment that includes an array of physical and network safeguards against both people and nature.
