Operational, environmental, EHS, and asset data are often kept in different applications. Bringing that information together can take manual work. Replacing applications that already serve their purpose can disrupt the work those teams rely on.
Deploying Validere does not necessarily mean replacing the systems a company already uses. Some operators keep those applications and connect the relevant data to Validere. Others replace legacy applications that no longer meet their needs.
That decision affects how much existing software needs to change, which data is connected or migrated, and how rollout and training are planned. Either approach can be introduced in phases. A Success Plan sets out the agreed implementation work.
Keeping existing applications lets teams continue using software they already know. That can reduce the retraining that would come with replacing those applications. Teams may still need training for the new workflows introduced through Validere. Validere can bring emissions, EHS, production, and measurement data from those systems into one environment for analytics, reporting, visualization, and automation.
Teams can keep using a historian, a maintenance system, or an EHS platform for the records those systems already hold. For more on how existing systems contribute to environmental reporting, see how environmental software fits the systems you already run. Systems Validere connects lists common sources for this path, including production and measurement data.
Replacement fits when emissions, EHS, or measurement applications are scattered, inefficient, or costly to keep. It can cover one underperforming application or a broader transition that brings several of those workflows into Validere. Which systems and functions are included depends on the agreed deployment scope. Teams can manage the selected workflows through one Validere interface, with the relevant data held in the same environment.
Bringing those workflows into Validere can simplify support and reduce the number of software vendors a company needs to coordinate with for those functions. The ERP, the historian, and the maintenance system can stay. Replacing one of those systems is a separate decision. Role-based access limits which data each role can see.
Engagement Managers, Data Consultants, and Solutions Architects work with the customer to develop a Success Plan based on that company’s timelines and goals. The plan identifies the integrations needed for systems being retained, any data migrations involved in replacing applications, and how the rollout will be phased where appropriate.
It also maps user training, product documentation, and the support contacts. From day one, an Engagement Manager and a Data Consultant serve as consistent contacts, guiding onboarding and helping customer teams begin using Validere according to the agreed plan.

A company can begin by integrating Validere for one high-priority use case or replacing an underperforming application. Either approach can be introduced in phases, with selected workflows moving into Validere over time. A company that initially keeps an existing application may later decide to replace it as its requirements change.
Talk with our team about which systems to keep, which applications to replace, and how Validere could fit into your plans.
