Honeywell applied the rigorous and well-documented Six Sigma quality-improvement approach to the complex, highly heterogeneous, and mission-critical process of remedial site environmental data management to achieve a sea change in terms of data quality, environmental risk reduction, and overall process cost reduction.
Groundwater data has been collected at environmental sites for more than 30 years. Despite the prevalence of this information, allowing individuals other than the members of the project team access to data has been a cumbersome undertaking.
Locus manages environmental data for thousands of environmental sites via our online environmental database (EIM). We have to address the issues resulting from years of data collection from multiple sources on multiple platforms every day. Internet technology using Web Services and XML can bring disparate and dispersed data sources together for effortless tracking of and access to information.
