Ariel Content and EH&S Decision Support Solutions for SAP® EH&S

SAP EH&S is a sophisticated, highly integrated compliance module of SAP used by many companies as the basis for their global chemical regulatory compliance program. Managing such a compliance program is no easy task given the complexities associated with compliance on a global scale.

3E Company answers these challenges through its Ariel™ line of data and decision support solutions that facilitate increased operational efficiencies, informed decision-making and consistent compliance practices throughout the enterprise.

The full benefits of SAP EH&S can be better optimized when comprehensive content, prepared by regulatory experts, is integrated into the SAP EH&S application. This content includes regulatory data covering the geographical scope of the user's business, Expert Rules to automate checking products against regulations and running complicated classification calculations, a library of phrases covering each of the languages which need to be used for documents, and document templates reflecting the current regulatory requirements and best practice for each of the countries in the user's business scope.

3E Company has a successful and proven track record spanning more than a decade for providing quality products and services designed specifically for integration with SAP EH&S. More than 50 companies rely on Ariel content in their SAP EH&S application every day. The Ariel suite of solutions for SAP include:

• ADM-EHSAP – for efficient data management

  SAP EH&S offers the ideal solution for promoting consistency across the enterprise; however, populating SAP EH&S with comprehensive, relevant data is problematic without an efficient integrated tool or OCC interface. Our sophisticated data loading tool, Ariel Data Manager (ADM)™-EHSAP provides easy and efficient maintenance of regulatory information at the specification level.
  
  

• Expert Rules Logic – for consistent compliance practices

  The Ariel Expert Rules add-on package complements the functionally provided by ADM-EHSAP by applying automated logic to the substance database in SAP EH&S with the objective of creating (M)SDSs and labels that satisfy country-specific regulations. Using Ariel Rules eliminates variations in (M)SDS authoring, as well as human error, and ensures the consistent application of country-specific requirements.
  
  

• Multi-Lingual Phrases

  The Ariel Multilingual Phrase Library for SAP® EH&S is available in dozens of languages, providing an efficient method for global or multinational companies to simplify the creation and authoring of (M)SDS (material safety data sheets), labels, and other documents.
  
  

• Templates

  Ariel offers regional and country-specific (M)SDS and label document templates that can be tailored to your company’s requirements.
  
  

• Co-Sourced (M)SDS Authoring

  Ariel (M)SDS Authoring services include the ability to co-source on a client’s existing SAP EH&S platform. 3E's own multi-lingual staff of dedicated, highly qualified MSDS authors, create, analyze and manage globally compliant MSDSs and product label content covering regulatory and language requirements for more than 50 countries. Authors can format MSDSs to be compliant with ANSI, GHS, REACH, and all of the major global requirements such as Japan, EU, USA and Canada, producing compliant documents that meet the needs of customers' most complex requirements.
  
  

• Vendor (M)SDS Data Management

  Clients can realize the full value of centralizing data into SAP EH&S by also feeding raw material vendor (M)SDS data into SAP EH&S. A list of vendor products is all that is required for 3E to cross-reference against its massive (M)SDS library, and in turn, feed data directly to SAP EH&S. In the event the (M)SDS doesn’t already exist in our database, 3E will proactively obtain it directly from your supplier on your behalf. And, 3E can assume the burden of maintaining (M)SDS revisions on an on-going basis, providing employees access to the most recent available version.
  

The 3E Difference - Our Own Team of Regulatory Specialists

3E Company’s own team of specialists researches, procures and updates the global regulatory, product safety, transportation and chemical property and hazard content that fuels the Ariel solution set. The Ariel Global Research Team consists of professionals with legal expertise and active relationships with the government agencies around the world that provide assistance in procuring and analyzing legislation. Ariel content is based on official government sources in the respective countries. The team has extensive language skills to facilitate translations and dialogue with appropriate regulatory bodies. While there are several vendors who specialize in the data management technology while buying the bulk of their content to re-package or resell, 3E Company offers the valuable combination of both. We source our own content and develop the underlying technology to deliver it—all with our own employees, no sub-contractors.
