Aggreko wished to implement a comprehensive and auditable GHG monitoring system for its global operations, including its fleet of generators and chilling equipment.

Pearson PLC, a British multinational publishing and education company, has been reporting environmental impacts for many years using spreadsheets. The spreadsheet was vast, with over 1,400 sites, and was becoming difficult to manage. This, coupled with the new UK mandatory reporting regulations, led Pearson to review its reporting processes and instead look to specialist providers to supply an online sustainability reporting solution. Pearson required a software service with features that included robustness and quality of data, accuracy, auditability, ease of use, ability to produce real-time management info such as reports and analytics, and the ability to integrate with finance, ERP and energy systems.

Hanover County, located within the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States, was struggling with manual processes for incident reporting. The county, which provides public and government services to its residents, was using Excel and Word for these processes. This resulted in time-consuming tasks such as filling out forms, faxing, and filing. The laborious nature of these tasks led to a reluctance among employees to carry out incident reporting. The county needed a solution that would reduce these burdensome processes and improve efficiency.

KAZ Minerals Group, a high growth copper company focused on large scale, low cost open pit mining, needed a user-friendly system that could be easily integrated with a reporting feature. This system needed to allow data to be captured easily and provide insights into their requirements. The company, which employs around 13,000 people, is a high profile company in Kazakhstan. Emex was chosen for the second time in 2015 following an internal re-organisation. The platform selected needed to be fully localised into Russian and strong in incident management, risk assessment and auditing. The Group needed a single HSE reporting system with easy integration for all subsidiaries, accessible all in one place.

A further essential requirement was a system that would exist as a management tool in handling the information obtained from the integration of these various systems. The company needed a system that would be fully functional from go-live onwards, simple to use, and can report correct data at any given time through reporting and dashboards. The company also wanted to manage all its 700 employees together with their 3000 contracted employees with regards to SHEQ. At any time, it was necessary to see who is on site as no contractor, or contractor’s staff member, who is not fully compliant in terms of rules and regulations, are allowed access to the property.

Senwes, a leading agricultural company in South Africa, needed to implement Integrated Management Systems for Health, Safety, Environment and Compliance (HSEC), Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), Internal Compliance and Internal Audit. The ERM system was built to accommodate Senwes’s quantitative approach to assessing risk. Senwes monitors a risk register of around 260 identified risks within 22 risk categories throughout the Group. The group’s residual risk exposure range from USD 21 million with a very low risk tolerance level to around USD 42.5 million in catastrophic drought events. Senwes previously calculated their quantitative risks using spreadsheet-based systems that were not able to provide real-time information. They needed to replace these spreadsheets with a centralized, electronic system that would provide real-time risk assessment information.

South Deep gold mine recognized that its way of managing health and safety was outdated and inadequate. Manually managing spreadsheets for example, posed many problems including difficulty with analysis, standardizing data throughout the company, and unsuitability in terms of formatting for reporting purposes. It required a lot of resources to manage, was time-consuming and inefficient, and was ultimately deemed to be unsustainable. South Deep thus desired an integrated system for environment, health, and safety – a digital system that would be able to centralize all EHS information, and provide the company’s management and leadership team with the information which they needed to gain rapid insights into the mine’s health and safety information, as well as save time compiling the necessary reports.

Golder UK was tasked with implementing a system to capture the response of Stakeholders of the High Speed 2 rail project between London and Birmingham and report back to the The Examiners of Petitions for Private Bills of the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The project brief was to capture and monitor the responses of stakeholders in order for them to be reported back to The Examiners. All facets of the responses needed to be captured including the form of communication; the location of the area of concern; and the nature of the concern. In addition to this, strict controls had to be put in place ensuring that there was no duplication of responses captured.

Transnet Engineering, a company with eight different business units, 132 depots, and six factories spread across South Africa, had allowed each of its entities to develop their own approach to ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001. This resulted in inconsistencies in practices, confusion, and despondency from the implementers together with a high number of findings experienced during audits. The systems remained largely manual, and pressing issues included the difficulty in managing historical data, the inability to easily trace the movement of documents, the lack of notifications over expiry dates and actions, and the inability to link documents to the last person to have modified them.

Transnet Freight Rail, a transportation company based in Johannesburg, South Africa, was facing challenges with its quality management system. Prior to implementing IsoMetrix, the company's systems were primarily paper and spreadsheet-based. This made the generation of reports and the analysis of trends extremely difficult and time-consuming. The company needed a solution that could consolidate and import data from the previous systems and spreadsheets, and manage change effectively.

Sasfin Bank Ltd was facing challenges in managing its risk across 10 key areas including Operational risk, Business risk, Credit risk, Market & Investment risk, Capital Management risk, Funding & Liquidity risk, Reputational risk, and IT & Cyber risk.

The risk data was siloed and segmented throughout the company, making reporting a time-consuming manual process.

Endeavour Mining, a multinational gold mining company operating predominantly in West Africa, was facing difficulties collecting data from its various mining sites spread throughout West Africa. The existing data being collected was not sufficiently comprehensive nor was it being received timeously enough to satisfy the organization. It also did not suit its reporting purposes with regards to the increasingly important ESG measures and standards which are now typical throughout the industry. Furthermore, the company was saddled with an outdated EHS software system that did not offer the functionality and ease-of-use that Endeavour Mining desired. Finally, the organization needed a software package with multi-language support that catered for users with a primary language other than English.

Metorex, a mining company operating throughout Southern Africa, was previously using a manual, paper-based system for managing various risk areas including safety, environment, and community. The company recognized the need for a systematic way of protecting business resources and income against losses to achieve strategic and operational objectives. The company was committed to the principles of the King III report, which included the need to control and manage risk exposures through appropriate risk reduction and mitigation actions. However, achieving this control and management was a challenge with their existing system.

De Beers Group, a global diamond mining company, recognized the need for a software solution to support their 'Building Forever' strategy, which is built on protecting the natural world, partnering for thriving communities, standing with women and girls, and leading ethical practices across the industry. The company had been using IsoMetrix since the late 1990s, but in 2016, they initiated a global strategy to drive sustainability and shared value. They chose IsoMetrix as a software vendor to develop and implement a standardized system for managing Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) incidents, risk management, and actions across all their business units. This complex project, named 'Project Unity', aimed to standardize reporting requirements across eight individual business units to allow for group reporting. The business units where IsoMetrix has been implemented are in Botswana, Canada, and South Africa.

The company was using a spreadsheet-based risk management system which presented challenges in terms of data accuracy and time consumption. They needed an out-of-the-box solution that would be compatible with their strategy and goals. The company wanted to implement a company-wide EHS solution and wanted to reap the benefits quickly.

The decision-making process in the company was the responsibility of two key people who were well experienced in safety management, IT and using various other systems.

Impala Platinum Ltd, a leading producer of platinum group metals, was struggling with the management of its environmental, health and safety (EHS) data. The company's operations span across Southern Africa and internationally, generating a large amount of EHS data that needed to be captured and stored. The company's existing storage methods were inefficient, and the sheer volume of data made it difficult for the company's Safety & Environmental Manager at the Refineries division, Carina Burger, to extract useful EHS data when required. The company's policy required all incidents and audits to be loaded into the system, but extracting useful information, statistics, and relevant trends from the system was a cumbersome manual process.

Masana, a leading provider of petroleum solutions, was struggling with a manual and paper-based system for managing its Governance, Risk and Compliance universe. The company was facing issues with data loss, difficulty in collating data, and inability to track HSE incidents or actions related to the incidents. The data was scattered in many spreadsheets, and it was time-consuming to try collating data to build reports. The company needed a technology solution that could centralize their data, save time in creating detailed and accurate board reports, and allow their HSE team to conduct trend analysis and manage risks by exception.

EnviroServ, a leading waste management company, was in need of a software solution for safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) management. They required a system that could manage general SHEQ processes and streamline those unique to the waste industry. The company was growing and needed a solution that could scale with them. They also wanted to replace their manual, paper-based processes with an electronic SHEQ management system to reduce the time allocated to common tasks and record all incidents in real-time.

During implementation, they faced the challenge of change management and implementing the system across many sites in a short time.

Wienerberger AG identified the need to provide relevant data to their customers more effectively within the software they use (BIM authoring software) and improve the customer journey across all touchpoints. The company's data stewards were faced with numerous challenges concerning the consistency and standardisation of product (systems, materials etc.) data across the whole group and its brands. In order to improve the quality of their data services, Wienerberger AG set an objective to standardise data internally, and decided to introduce an enterprise Product Information Management (PIM) system which would be the single source of data for all their clients. However, a traditional PIM did not fully meet their needs. They needed a solution that also could ‘translate’ data to the particular needs of users within different markets and across different software, without maintaining data duplicates and numerous local ‘silo’ databases.

Pipelife Norge, a subsidiary of Wienerberger AG, was one of the first to implement Wienerberger’s enterprise-level data model. The model is aimed at adopting a systematic and centralised approach to product data management at enterprise-level, as the digital readiness across the entire group varies significantly from brand to brand and company to company. Pipelife Norge also reported the increasing demand, especially in their home market, for relevant and accurate product data that can be used across the supply chain by various software and actors. One of the main challenges was that most of Pipelife’s product information was stored in siloed systems and file formats that hindered the flow of information. In addition, Pipelife’s web-catalog was maintained by the respective Product Managers responsible for the different product lines, which sometimes led to inconsistencies in the quality and richness of the product information.

NCC, a leading construction company, was facing challenges in implementing a paperless workflow related to the specification and selection of building elements used in internal processes and in the procurement process. The use of different words and definitions within the industry, as well as different data structure and language in systems, made it time-consuming to secure the quality of the data collected and exchanged. The difference in data models made it difficult to get different systems to process data in an efficient way.

Linde AG, a world-leading gases and engineering company, was facing the problem of an outdated environmental compliance system running on an old SAP release. The system complied only with the current SAP standard by about 50 percent, requiring tremendous manual effort for Linde to fulfil crucial legal requirements. The system was error-prone and no longer met business needs without significant manual effort. As a result, operation and maintenance were costly and inefficient. Linde AG needed a more efficient and standardized SAP EH&S platform. After more than a year of considering all the options, Linde selected IDS Scheer Consulting and 3E Company to take on the task.

Arapahoe House, a leading provider of substance use disorder treatment in Colorado, faced a challenge with managing and securing data on mobile devices used by its distributed workforce. A significant portion of the workforce used their own devices to access corporate mail from the organization's hybrid Office 365 / Exchange deployment. The IT team was uncertain about the number of BYO devices in use and how they were being used. They needed a solution to secure the data on these mobile devices. They evaluated several MDM solutions including Airwatch and MobileIron but found them unsatisfactory due to their difficult deployment processes and poor user experiences.

AMAG Pharmaceuticals, a company that develops and commercializes a therapeutic iron compound to treat iron deficiency anemia, decided to adopt G Suite as the all cloud backbone for the company. This decision was made to enhance productivity as G Suite offers a high performance productivity suite that is flexible and easy-to-use. However, combining BYOD and cloud meant that AMAG lost visibility and control of its data, risking security and compliance. Existing security solutions were not readily applicable to cloud apps and raised privacy concerns, since employees didn’t want IT monitoring their personal cloud apps or mobile devices.

Bay Cove Human Services, a healthcare provider network, was seeking a solution to ensure HIPAA compliance without altering the user experience. They were using Google's G Suite as their productivity backbone and needed a solution that would provide secure access to G Suite from any device. The challenge was to find a solution that would not require invasive agents or any configuration, and would allow users to simply log in to G Suite from any browser and be securely routed to the app.

The company handles sensitive freight information for its customers, making security a top priority. However, its employees are globally dispersed and require access from a variety of BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) mobile devices. The company needed a solution that could be deployed quickly and easily, without taking undue control over personal mobile devices.

The firm was looking for a cloud security solution that could be quickly deployed in concert with this rollout. Given the high profile nature of its clientele, the complete assurance of data privacy is of highest importance to the organization. The firm wanted to maintain sole control of its data – it didn’t feel comfortable with cloud vendors having any visibility into customer information. The firm’s security architecture and risk teams set out to find a security solution that would help enable secure cloud application usage. For Salesforce specifically, they wanted an encryption solution that maintained integrity of data security while enabling full application functionality including search, reporting, and the firm’s Salesforce customizations and third party integrations.

The healthcare firm was looking to transition its 30,000 global employees to a SaaS productivity suite. The firm’s IT team had already deployed Office 365 for email only, but without proper security controls it refused to deploy file sharing and storage via OneDrive and Sharepoint. The firm’s existing security architecture included next-gen firewall appliances, along with secure web gateways from Bluecoat and Symantec DLP appliances. This network-level security architecture was inadequate for protecting data in the cloud and allowing for access on any device. The firm’s internal Office 365 productivity suite initiative was set to rollout rapidly throughout the company, its enterprise security architecture team decided to deploy a cloud access security broker solution to enable secure cloud usage. Of particular concern was protecting PHI, PII, and corporate intellectual property in data flowing out of the cloud. The native Office 365 security controls did not provide an adequate level of data protection, especially in the case of data access by unmanaged and untrusted devices.

The ad agency was looking to migrate from an on-premise solution to Office 365 to cut costs and increase employee productivity. However, some of the agency’s large clients, including Microsoft and Walmart, had concerns about the security of their creative assets. The agency needed to add another layer of security to their public cloud apps. They required solutions for single sign-on, mobile security, and access control. After evaluating several vendors, the agency determined that Bitglass was the only solution that met all their requirements.
