EHS Software: Buy vs. Build
19. Enterprise EHS Software Solutions
Factor BUILD: Custom-Built Application BUY: Off-the-Shelf Application
1 Defining Requirements
Requires a detailed project scope and requirements definition
process in order to build the software. Can take months due to
complexity and number of staff/departments involved.
A business process review is required to determine how best
to configure the software to your unique needs. Usually takes
days.
2 Software Development
Requires a good project plan, strong project management and
specialized skills for completion.
Already built: purchase and plug-in the modules required.
Standardized layouts and forms are available, or product can be
customized.
3 Resources
Requires internal resources (IT) to develop, maintain & service.
Requires prioritization to ensure delays are avoided.
Implemented with external resources (professional services
budget). Maintenance/support may be included in annual fee.
4
Customization / Change
Control
Rests with IT department; can be more or less flexible.
Rests with user department/OH&S. i.e. The user directs the
vendor, whose responsibility is to address customer needs.
5 Regulatory Change OH&S department to drive product direction
Market demand and consistent product development drives
product direction
6
Continuous Improvement /
Meeting Needs
Product will be excellent initially, due to complete
customization, but can become dated quickly.
Factors 3,4,5 can inhibit continuous improvement.
Factors 3,4,5 enable or drive continuous improvement.
7 Flexibility Typically rigid. Little site to site flexibility
Using various front-end tools such as business rules, system
security, and automatic notifications, buying usually allows for
as much user or site variations or standardizations as necessary.
8 HR Data Interface
If customizing within same application as your HR data interface
will be good.
HR interface easy; is usually set up to run on a daily or weekly
basis .
9
Reporting / Business
Intelligence
Depends on the IT departments bandwidth. Building and
consistently improving reporting tools may exceed their
budget/capabilities.
Reporting can be dynamic and comprehensive; the user may be
able to extract and manipulate any data in the system and keep
track of KPIs with dashboards
10 User Interface / Design
System requirements usually defined by non-IT people, then
handed over to technical experts; often developed in a non-
collaborative manner.
Developed with functional and technical expertise working in a
partnership. Thorough research and testing means that
usability is usually high.
Bottlenecks: the systems rely on people knowing where stuff is, and how it’s organized. Someone would leave, and they’d have to redo the process from scratch. They needed something future-proof
Consistency: No two processes were the same across different sites, and even within departments. Everyone did things differently, meaning accurate reporting was almost impossible.
Without consistent data collection methods and standards, you can’t establish trends
If two sites have two different standards, then you can’t compare results between the two. That’s an opportunity missed.
Reporting is very difficult if you can’t be sure that your data is accurate and consistent.

Buy vs Build discussion points. Maybe we should simplify this? Or is this even the right thing to be talking about to this audience?
