Locus Technologies Announces Free Year-End Legacy Data Loading
The Leader in On-Demand Environmental Information Management
| Source: Locus Technologies
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- October 17, 2006 -- Locus Technologies, the industry leader
in on-demand environmental
information management, announced today a limited time promotion for
new customers to try Locuss popular on-demand analytical data management
software (EIM™).
From now until the end of the year, Locus will offer free data loading for
up to five (5) sites for any new customer who signs up for its on-demand
environmental data management services. Locus is making this offer to
encourage companies to try, risk-free, a whole new way of managing
environmental data on the web.
Data management practices in the environmental industry have lagged far
behind other more-visible departments in most companies. In the age of
instant funds transfer, online banking, electronic data transfers, wireless
Internet, and sophisticated enterprise data systems, it is, unfortunately,
still common for mission-critical environmental data to be delivered via
hard-copy mail and hand-keyed into simple desktop spreadsheets managed by
various consultants with offices across the country. Even in the best of
circumstances, data are attached to insecure emails and stored in
custom-designed, single-use databases with limited, if any, access by the
data owners and multiple project participants.
Locus is changing this paradigm and shaking up the environmental industry
by delivering sophisticated, robust enterprise environmental data
management tools on-line and on-demand to the marketplace. Locuss EIM
environmental data system combines one of the most advanced and robust
databases with a full-featured front end to deliver an unequalled set of
services to a sector long ignored. And all of this is offered online,
on-demand, 24/7, anywhere in the world -- meaning that no hardware or
software investment is required, no installation is needed, and no IT
department services are necessary. Just sign up, log in and start
realizing what some of Americas largest companies have already discovered.
Locus is offering free data loading to encourage companies to try a better
approach that will forever change the way they manage data.
"We are continually surprised by the state of environmental data management
in the environmental industry. Customers routinely come to us with boxes
of CDs, faxes of report data tables, and hard-copy lab reports and tell us
these are critical data for the closure of their environmental sites --
sites that carry many millions of dollars of liability for the company for
which they spent millions collecting the data. Locus helps customers
migrate and organize their data quickly and effectively, so they can
optimize the value they receive from Locuss on-demand EIM software. Once
uploaded to EIM, everyone can work from a single, centralized database and
never again deal with inconsistent and inaccessible data," said Neno
Duplancic, President and CEO of Locus.
Locuss on-demand model is an innovative, low-risk, and flexible solution
for laboratories, consultants, regulatory agencies, potentially responsible
parties (PRPs) and companies that own environmentally impacted sites. With
little up-front investment, customers can take control of their data, rid
themselves of the current inefficient and insecure practices, and start
enjoying the benefits of EIMs versatile and proven set of tools to manage,
view, and report their data. EIM organizes environmental data and
automates analytical data management, from laboratory electronic data
submittals and regulatory agency reporting to exciting data visualization
in real-time through Google maps. EIM is the only system in the
marketplace that has been serving environmental data on the web
continuously more than 8 years.
You owe it to your company, and yourself, to try Locuss EIM, and we are
making it simple and risk-free with this offer. Please read the "fine
print" for offer conditions and exclusions.
