EHS Software: Buy vs. Build


Factor BUILD: Custom-Built Application BUY: Off-the-Shelf Application

1 Defining RequirementsRequires a detailed project scope and requirements definition

process in order to build the software. Can take months due to

complexity and number of staff/departments involved.

A business process review is required to determine how best

to configure the software to your unique needs. Usually takes

days.

2 Software DevelopmentRequires a good project plan, strong project management and

specialized skills for completion.

Already built: purchase and plug-in the modules required.

Standardized layouts and forms are available, or product can be

customized.

3 ResourcesRequires internal resources (IT) to develop, maintain & service.

Requires prioritization to ensure delays are avoided.

Implemented with external resources (professional services

budget). Maintenance/support may be included in annual fee.

4Customization / Change

ControlRests with IT department; can be more or less flexible.

Rests with user department/OH&S. i.e. The user directs the

vendor, whose responsibility is to address customer needs.

5 Regulatory Change OH&S department to drive product directionMarket demand and consistent product development drives

product direction

6Continuous Improvement /

Meeting Needs

Product will be excellent initially, due to complete

customization, but can become dated quickly.

Factors 3,4,5 can inhibit continuous improvement.

Factors 3,4,5 enable or drive continuous improvement.

7 Flexibility Typically rigid. Little site to site flexibility

Using various front-end tools such as business rules, system

security, and automatic notifications, buying usually allows for

as much user or site variations or standardizations as necessary.

8 HR Data InterfaceIf customizing within same application as your HR data interface

will be good.

HR interface easy; is usually set up to run on a daily or weekly

basis .

9Reporting / Business

Intelligence

Depends on the IT departments bandwidth. Building and

consistently improving reporting tools may exceed their

budget/capabilities.

Reporting can be dynamic and comprehensive; the user may be

able to extract and manipulate any data in the system and keep

track of KPIs with dashboards

10 User Interface / DesignSystem requirements usually defined by non-IT people, then

handed over to technical experts; often developed in a non-

collaborative manner.

Developed with functional and technical expertise working in a

partnership. Thorough research and testing means that

usability is usually high.
