ESS solutions will expand the functionality and interoperability capabilities of our information technology to deliver cutting-edge products that provide complete EH&S support to our customers and partners."

ESS also announced the appointment of the following Solution Practice

He has more than 15 years experience in environmental engineering, business development and EH&S software sales management and is well-known for his knowledge of and promotion of EH&S information management systems.
