International unveiled “POE”, which is the code name for its new
on-demand (SaaS) offering that cost-effectively automates the creation of

“The Atrion User Group Meetings are organized for Atrion’s worldwide
customers and are the perfect venues to reveal this major evolution in
authoring solutions for the industry,” said Patrick J. Lavoie, CEO and
President at Atrion International. “The conferences provide an
opportunity for environmental health and safety (EH&S) specialists to
discuss the latest compliance challenges, and exchange ideas and best
practices amongst their peers.”
Simon Jacobson, Research director at AMR Research (recently acquired by
Gartner, Inc.) stated in his February 11, 2010 report titled “EH&S
Content: A Foundational Component of Green Product Supply Networks”,
“Buyers beware: Regardless of the software platform chosen, embedded
content is paramount. … Keep an eye out for providers that have
integrated content and software on the same platform.”
Atrion is responding to this critical market requirement with its ACE
platform and Powered by ACE(TM) strategy by developing innovative product
compliance solutions such as POE. This approach benefits both enterprise
and mid-market companies who are challenged by existing and future green
legislations.
POE is scheduled for general release in the second half of 2010.
About Atrion International User Group

year’s meetings is “Corporate Green – Automating Product Compliance
throughout the Product Life Cycle.” Being corporate green has taken on a
new dimension in the chemical industry. It is becoming a
mission-critical, C-level concern. Corporate green is no longer limited
to just protecting the surrounding environment; it has become essential
to protecting brands, employees and providing customers with safer and
greener products. Throughout the informative sessions, partners,
customers, and industry experts will explore how catalyst legislations
such as REACH, ROHS, and GHS are re-defining what product compliance
means and how it is an increasingly important factor in everything from
