The Mission

To provide SME’s with

tailored business services

in the field of Environment, Health and Safety and Quality (EHS-Q),

with the goal to strengthen their competitive advantage at an affordable price.

®


®

A trademarked, process-oriented, multilingual,

ASP Subscription Model and

Compliance Management System focused on the fields of Environment, Health and Safety and Quality (EHS-Q) designed especially for small and medium sized enterprises, to provide easy access to information and services essential for them to comply with the complex legal and social requirements at national and international level

What is PROMIS

®


®

Key Problem:

Health and safety (H&S) at work, including environmental and plant safety, are major issues of the European Union. SMEs very often lack the time and manpower to implement these safety requirements themselves and therefore use the support of H&S advisors. These advisors in turn need knowledge about updated laws and safety requirements. The flow of information and the exchange of knowledge is based on conventional means and need to be improved with interactive services.

®


®

Opportunity:

…to allow SMEs to be prepared for a low cost and high quality services to comply with legal requirements and use the offered services via the internet.

®


®

PROMIS offers Solutions to… …ease the access to all relevant information and contents connected with EH&S-Q

sensitive processes; …assist SMEs with self-analysis and design of an Integrated Quality Management system, suited to their industry sector and size of operation; …provide company-specific “Roadmaps” and guidelines, to support SMEs controlling their processes up to certification;…to buy a virtual workplace in which to define their own processes and manage their own company with the on-line assistance of consultants, if and where needed.
