IsoMetrix, new Web-based SHEQ software launched

By Global Research Partners
Johannesburg, 10 Jul 2003

Metrix Software Solutions today announced the release of IsoMetrix, new Web-based software for the management of environmental, quality, health and safety management systems. IsoMetrix has been developed through the collaborative efforts of Metago Environmental Engineers (Pty) Ltd, a leading environmental engineering consultancy and ASYST International, an international software development house.

IsoMetrix is a latest generation product and is based upon the success of Metago`s safety, health and environment management (SHE) system. The tools have been designed around user requirements to assist organisations in obtaining and maintaining their management systems and also their ISO 14001 certification. The software has been used with great success at a number of the world`s largest mining and utility companies. Existing clients include such household names as Anglo Coal, Anglo Platinum, De Beers, Eskom and Impala Platinum.

"This is a case where the combined efforts of experts in their respective fields have yielded a product that not only provides exceptional functionality as a SHEQ management tool but is now also built using the latest Web development and programming practices, resulting in stable, flexible software," commented Paul De Kock, Director of Metago. "The software dramatically improves an organisation`s ability to manage corporate risks effectively and to achieve certification to international standards such as ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18000."

"Where Metago is a well established, professional engineering and environmental management consulting company," added Paul Marketos, MD of ASYST International, "ASYST International is a reputable software house that specialises in the development of thin-client applications. We have taken Metago`s tried and tested existing management system and redesigned it as a Web application. IsoMetrix therefore not only has the core functionality and exceptional design that has made it the leading SHE management tool in SA, but it also now has technical advantages such as increased stability, speed and performance, improved analytical and reporting capabilities and rapid, flexible and cost-effective deployment. This takes the system to a new level that exceeds global standards."

"World pressure is demanding that companies monitor and manage environmental, quality and social risks," continued Dennis Marketos, Chairman of Metrix Software Solutions. "This is the first phase of developing a single software product that will meet the needs of safety, health, environment, quality and risk users. We are delighted to be able to offer our clients quality software coupled with expert advice."

The Quality module of IsoMetrix will be released later in the year.
