EBJ Business Achiever of the Week: Locus Technologies

This week we salute Locus Technologies (Los Angeles, CA), winner of a 2010 Business Achievement Award in the information technology (IT) category for introducing several product enhancements and adding new clients in 2010. Over the past year, many of the firm’s Environmental Information Management (EIM) customers expanded their deployments of the systems into operations data management, utilizing strategic business intelligence tools to maintain environmental compliance, manage organizational change, track sustainability, and respond to upcoming environmental requirements, including GHG reporting. To meet this demand, Locus rolled out an upgraded computing platform in June 2010 and added and enhanced compliance and air modules in October. The firm signed multiple new customers in the nuclear (Exelon and Southern California Edison) and fossil-fuel power generation sectors, and grew its ePortal compliance solution by 400%. Locus also added 30 new customers for GHG services. In November, Locus’s water footprint and spatial analysis capability was recognized by software industry research analyst Gartner, and in December Locus obtained a second layer of SAS70 certification for its cloud computing operations.For a full list of EBJ’s 2010 Business Achievement Award winners, please visit www.ebiresearch.com/2010_EBI_%20Awards.
