ACTS|O&G Implementation 

ACTS is provided as a full EHS suite, and licenses give your organization full access to all the functionality of our software. Your organization is free to determine which ACTS features are most relevant to your current needs, and Ecocion will implement those modules first. Additional functionality can be deployed over time.

Ecocion offers implementation services that are transparent and thorough. Ecocion consultants begin by learning about each client’s unique EHS, business, and IT infrastructure requirements, so they can develop a phased implementation plan. Because of ACTS' configured architecture, client databases can be set up and functioning in as few as two weeks.  

Ecocion will walk you through each step of the ACTS implementation process. These steps include:

• Consultation and Research: We take the time to understand your organization's unique EHS, business, and IT infrastructure requirements and determine the best way to serve your organization’s needs.
   
• Installation and Set-Up: ACTS is pre-loaded with industry-specific EHS functionality. We can have ACTS up and running in as few as two weeks.
   
• System Integration and Data Loading: ACTS has comprehensive ETL tools for one-time and ongoing data feeds to subscribe asset inventories, user lists, operational data, and virtually any other data that will be accessed or utilized in ACTS. 
   
• Training and Deployment: In addition to project documentation, Ecocion consultants can provide hands-on training either in person or via webex for primary ACTS users and more advanced ACTS administrators. Training sessions are offered periodically or can be customized and scheduled for client specific needs.
   
• Legacy Data Transfer: During the process of transferring your data to ACTS, Ecocion’s experienced data team can take a “hands on” approach, or we can assist your company with more of a “hands off” approach.
   
• Constant Analysis: Ecocion regularly updates ACTS to reflect new regulations, which helps optimize your business practices.

Systems Integration

Ecoion will collaborate with your IT staff to integrate data from your existing databases into ACTS. We can subscribe to the data where ACTS has read-only access and get periodic updates of the information, and we can publish information changes from ACTS to other systems. This will ensure that data is only entered once, reduces errors, and allows data to be tied across multiple systems to enable deeper data analysis and tracking.

You will be able to manage data across your entire organization and see what facilities are out of compliance, where and why employees have been injured, and where money is being spent thus reducing potential risks. Because of our extensive experience and the efficiency of our implementation process, integrating other information systems with ACTS is relatively quick and straightforward. 

Below are some of the systems with which ACTS has been integrated:

Training

The initial licensing agreement for ACTS includes access to detailed online help guides that cover major functionality plus two 4-hour training sessions. Our training courses are customized to meet your organization's specific business needs and to optimize EHS workflows. Whatever your skill level with ACTS, we can design a training course right for you.

• Key Personnel Training: This training is designed to help EHS professionals and managers understand ACTS functionality, so they can be effective primary users of the system.
   
• System Administrator Training: Training designed to teach ACTS system administrators the key system preference settings, ETL tools, and IT function monitoring to effectively troubleshoot and administer the ACTS system. 
   
• Power-User Training: Our power-user training helps users develop the skills to write advanced queries, calculations, and bulk data manipulations for the full use of ACTS functionality.
   
• Customized Training: Ecocion also customizes training manuals and training sessions for any end-users (e.g. We train your personnel to enter key data).

Support

Ecocion offers technical support, application upgrades and patches, newsletters, teleconference update calls, and access to user groups. Our ongoing support will give you access to the new modules that are developed to align with the latest regulatory requirements.

Best of all, when contacting Ecocion, you will never deal with call center support. A highly-qualified ACTS engineer is just an email or phone call away.
