Transform Your Process Safety Management with Kenexis Engineering Software

In the world of process safety management, efficiency, integration, and reliability are essential. When it comes to driving safety improvements, you need software that not only delivers high-quality results but also enables seamless data aggregation and reporting. Timely, informed decision-making by leadership depends on accurate insights from every study. With Kenexis Engineering Software, you can take your safety management programs to new heights—backed by transparent, upfront pricing and zero hidden fees!

End the Patchwork Approach to Process Safety

Engineers today often rely on a mix of disconnected software tools from different vendors to manage process safety tasks, particularly when detailed analysis is required. This fragmented approach leads to inefficiencies: duplicated efforts, errors, and inconsistent data entry across multiple systems. The result? Increased complexity and higher risk of critical oversights.

FAQs

Kenexis software is cloud-based and accessed through a web browser, so the traditional software licensing models do not apply.  Licensing is based on a concurrent user licensing model which works similar to the traditional network license.  You can have an unlimited number of users with access to your license.  However, the number of users who can access the software simultaneously is limited by the number of concurrent user licenses that you obtain.

Most users work in our standard Kenexis Integrated Safety Suite platform where the data is secure.  Our standard platform works the same way that online banking works using Microsoft Azure security recommendations. Your data is contained in the same system as other users but no other users will be able to access or see you data because of the data security restrictions unless you specifically authorize it.

Some companies have restrictive data policies that do not want to have their data stored offsite. Consequently, it is possible to have a version of Kenexis Integrated Safety Suite installed on a private instance of Microsoft Azure.
