This article Report Shows Future Growth, Current Challenges for Carbon Software Market | ClimateBiz.com raises three important issues businesses are facing now and for the near future:

1. What ECM software do I purchase?

2. Is it worth what I will be paying for it?

3. Will it still be relevant or even exist in a few years?

In a way, CarbonCounted competes with ECM software to become a globally recognized and used public platform standard.  However, we do also look for opportunities to integrate with ‘competitive’ ECM software offerings so that businesses can use our supply chain and verification functionality.   If businesses take only the route of the ‘leading’ software solutions being served out there, they will forego the opportunity to link supply chains and produce product carbon footprints.

We believe that in order to truly drive change, the carbon data linking up supply chains needs to be on a neutral, platform like CarbonCounted.  That is, the application is served-up by a nor-for-profit third party that doesn’t have conflicts of interest in consulting, offsets, marketing, profit etc.

We encourage our experienced partners and clients to write to both ClimateBiz  and Verdantix  about the benefits of CarbonCounted as I have done today. We hope that a community effort can affect who the deserving spotlight falls on next.

We have also posted details on this article in our CarbonCounted Community.
