"The interest in EH&S software and databases continues to grow," said Elizabeth Donley, industry analyst and president of Donley Technology.
"But despite the availability of several thousand EH&S software products, the market is still not getting what it needs.
Many software developers have been slow to respond to changing regulatory requirements and have failed to recognize how technological advances, such as growing reliance on the internet, influence market expectations." "While investors have become skeptical of the dot com industry, EH&S managers are increasingly turning to the internet as a vehicle for sharing information and hosting applications.
But the EH and S software industry has been slow to respond to this interest, forcing some of the larger companies to turn to custom web-based solutions." The results of the study can be purchased in the report 'Untapped Markets for Environmental, Health and Safety Software 2002'.
The report helps developers of EH&S software focus their product development and marketing efforts.
