State of the Market – the EarthSoft view
International Viewpoint – EQuIS deployed in 42 countries and on
every continent, except Antarctica. ….too cold I think.
• International growth at a higher rate than domestic
• Overall 2 year growth rate for EarthSoft at 70%, international
revenues account for most of it
• Strong growth areas:
–

–
–
Canada - Oil Sands and Mining
Australia – Oil & Gas (coal seam gas) and Mining
Europe – broad mix; consultants and industry; money problems
Africa and the Middle East – industrial expansion and regulation
Asia (China and India lead the way) – the word is “cautious”

State of the Market – the EarthSoft view
US Market
• Steady growth – all sectors – Industry and Consulting lead the
way, Government lagging (funding)
• Shale gas is the largest growing sector in the environmental
market; data management follows

Market Trends – the EarthSoft view
• Trending toward integrated solutions; workflow automation
– Just a database is not enough; automate environmental data
management workflow to build efficiencies and quality into the
process
• Product Balance - Increasing functionality and capabilities,
improved user experience
• Continue to see application hosting options split between
internal and external
– The Cloud vs on my servers; trending toward the Cloud, but slower
than predicted. (issues – Op Ex vs. Cap Ex, collaboration, IT policy)
– Newest hybrid – Client purchase and Cloud hosted

Market Trends – the EarthSoft view
• International laboratories – move in the market
– Thinking data management beyond their LIMS
– Providing planning support, field data services, report visualization
tools, client access
– US lab organizations frozen in place
• Government move to standardize
– USEPA working toward an official EQuIS standard (Superfund and
beyond)
– Alberta Environment – working on several fronts; wetlands, water
– International governments – look to the US still
• Build vs. Buy – Buy is winning
– Commercial-off-the-shelf products have improved tremendously
– The difference in cost of ownership is vast
– The processes are enough similar that they can be replicated
