Electronic Data Deliverables

Managing data is an important part of any environmental project. Delivering data from field and laboratory in a seamless and integrated fashion will give you a competitive advantage when managing environmental projects.

SGS Electronic Data Deliverables

We understand the importance of delivering high quality data to you in an efficient and cost-effective manner. We are committed to providing you with a variety of electronic data deliverable (EDD) formats that go beyond the standard accredited laboratory report contained in a PDF.

Our clients can access all their SGS data deliverables through our SGS ENGAGE service – a dedicated web portal for our laboratory clients. Accessible 24/7, SGS ENGAGE allows rapid online retrieval and assessment of analytical data, ensuring the highest levels of security and data encryption.

We work with our clients to ensure all their EDD format requirements are met – either using off-the-shelf data management software or through their own database systems. Our laboratory EDDs are created directly from our Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), with automated re-mapping of data to the client’s own reference/valid values. This ensures no manual transcribing of data from the LIMS. We can also pre-check EDDs, for example using EarthSoft EDP tool for EQuIS EDDs, and upload EDDs directly into a client system via FTP or e-mail protocols.

Common software packages that we provide EDD formats for, include:

• Aquarius (Aquatic Informatics)
• Envirosys (SRA)
• EQuIS (EarthSoft)
• EQWin (EQWin Software Inc.)
• ESDat (EScIS)
• Locus EIM (Locus Technologies)
• MonitorPro (EHS Data)

In addition to providing data in EDD formats, we also provide a range of support services to help clients maximize their use of their environmental data management systems. Support services include:

• Software implementation and workflow set-up and support
• Reference/valid values and regulatory action level management
• Historical data migrations
• System audits
• Super user secondment or system management outsourcing

Why choose SGS?

With a global network of environmental data management experts, supported by our dedicated Global Technical Development & Support team, we are the first choice for organizations looking to optimize their EDD performance.
