Building the Business Case for Management Information Systems

This presentation will discuss the various financial and non-financial aspects that should be considered in justifying the implementation of EH&S Management Information Systems. It is imperative for subject-matter (e.g., industrial hygienists, other environmental, health & safety professionals), IT and financial experts to fully understand each others “business drivers” and perspectives prior to the deployment of any data management system. This mutual understanding of each other's expectations will increase the probability of having a successful implementation.
