ISO14 -- Setting the Standard in Environmental Management

ISO14's Hosted Platform is the answer to a company who wants the technology, but lacks the resources to implement and maintain a system on their own. This unique system is not software-based, but rather application-based, making our Hosted Platform the first Application Service Provider (ASP) in the ISO marketplace. ISO14 hosts and manages the application from a central server, allowing users to access their EMS through practically any Internet browser and from any location. Implementing the Hosted Platform, ISO14 delivers a high level of quality service and reliability. We are responsible for managing the system, ensuring that updates happen quickly and contain the latest in ISO specification. You merely "rent" our application, in turn, paying lower up-front and on-going fees.

The Benefits of ISO14
With an intuitive interface, seamless integration and a comprehensive support program, ISO14's Web-based application far surpasses traditional management system solutions. Compare the benefits of ISO14's Hosted Platform with those of the market's various client server software solutions:

Benefit
ISO14 Web-Based Application
Traditional Software

Up-Front Costs Application runs on ISO14's central servers, eliminating your need to purchase a costly software license or special hardware. Plus, no internal resources are needed to configure the system.

Software solutions require a costly up-front investment in the software license and related hardware. Additional costs are incurred by your internal IT department, which is also responsible for configuring the software.

Maintenance ISO14 handles all system maintenance, which reduces the strain on your internal IT department, and ensures high up-time and strong security measures.

Software solutions require that your IT department shoulder the responsibility of managing the system, and ensure availability and security.

Upgrades ISO14 automatically upgrades the system for you, enabling you to benefit from the latest features and improvements. No internal IT resources are required by you.

Software solutions require that you upgrade the system yourself, taking valuable IT time, and likely reducing the number of times you benefit from system upgrades.

Learning Curve ISO14's application is based on the Internet browsers that your employees already know how to use. This intuitive user interface makes initial training and on-going navigation of the application easier.

Each software solution has a different user interface, making the learning curve steeper for employees using the system.

System Scalability ISO14's application is completely scaleable, enabling you to grow the system as your business grows. Adding a new user or location to the system is as easy as enabling access via a standard Internet browser.

Software solutions require that you install new software or reconfigure the system every time a new employee comes on board. This can be costly and time-consuming.

Real-Time Access ISO14 provides users with 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week access to the system. Users can access the system from virtually any Internet browser, no matter where they are in the world. They can even view multiple EMSs across many locations.

Software solutions lack the capability of remote access and are limited in collaboration functionality.
