Enablon and TapRooT® Partner to Deliver Expert Incident Management and Investigation in EHS Operations

CHICAGO, Feb. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enablon, a Wolters Kluwer business, and TapRooT®, each world leaders in EHS Operations, announce a partnership today that will enable their customers to be even more efficient in preventing incidents and maximizing safety. With a connector between both software platforms, customers can track and trend incidents in the Enablon solution and perform the Root Cause Analysis with TapRooT® without duplicating efforts.

"The contribution TapRooT® Incident investigators can now bring to their companies is significant and goes far beyond efficiency in understanding the root cause and acting upon it," said Taylor Allis, Vice President of Product at Enablon. "It increases production effectiveness and reduces cost, which in turn adds business value to companies. At Enablon, we continuously work on innovating our solution to better assist our customers in making a difference. We do this not only through adding new features or applications but also by working with other recognized expert providers. The technology partnership with TapRooT® allows us to do just that."
