American invasion

摘要

The growth of the market for environmental management software is demonstrated by the entry into the UK/European market of Zequel Technologies, an American vendor which is taking on the likes of Enviros and Entropy International on their own turf. The company says its main product, DynamicPolicy, provides "state-of-the-art web-based policy management for all sizes of organisation". The suite is used in North American by customers varying between 50-50,000 employee users in number, including organisations such as Xerox, pharmaceutical company Schering-Plough and the US government. Zequel CEO Tim Wickes is confident the UK and European markets are growing and that DynamicPolicy will be a success. He says: "With organisations being more decentralised, plus the requirement to adhere to more and more government-enforced legislation and regulatory bodies, traditional systems have become cumbersome, ineffective and costly.
