Title: An operator must distinguish the capabilities that the EMS solution absolutely must include
Text: Solutions and Prudent Management Practices: Improved Operational Practices: Tracking Permits and Facilities: "an operator must distinguish the capabilities that [the environmental management] system absolutely must include. Added functionality ("bells and whistles") usually means added complexity and expense. Examples of system functionality considerations include a single data input source or opening access to allow input from multiple staff members, automated reporting, record keeping, and monitoring requirement deadline prompts. How system updates will be integrated, and if the system will be designed strictly for air issues, or comprehensive environmental, or health and safety issues as well, also must be considered. Time spent on this step will be useful when considering candidate systems or serving as a technical advisor for internal development and implementation of the system."
