Every EHS leader has sat through impressive software demonstrations - only to face the harsh reality of implementation. With failure rates for EHS technology projects hovering around 70%, choosing and scaling the right partnership isn't just about features, it's about understanding what happens after the contract is signed.
This practical session cuts through vendor promises to examine what actually makes technology partnerships succeed across complex, multi-site operations. Through a candid case study spanning global operations, we'll explore the critical decisions, unexpected challenges, and proven strategies that separate successful enterprise-wide deployments from expensive false starts.
