How to choose a EQuIS alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Check whether you pay according to the records you hold, the number of people who log in, or the seats and modules you use. Those charges can add up separately. Compare them with an option that has no per-seat plans, and be clear about what its ongoing support includes.
- 2
Who owns your records
Ask where your environmental records are kept and whether your business owns the database. Check that you can get your records out in a usable form. Ownership matters if you change systems, need to check an old result or want to keep your history together.
- 3
Fit with your way of working
Check whether the system fits your sites, fields, consent limits and review checks, or expects you to fit its standard process. Your own version can be built around your business rules and the information you need to track, rather than forcing every job into the same setup.

What switching involves
Ask what can be brought across from your EQuIS records and who will check the history after the move. EQuIS and lab data can arrive as flat files. Enterprise DNA brings the history across and reconciles it with you, so you know what has moved before relying on it.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
An owned version can fit the way your business manages sites, samples, results and consent limits. Your records sit in a database your business owns, and the system is built around your fields and checks. Enterprise DNA brings your EQuIS history across, reconciles it with you and runs the system for you. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. There is also a free version you can run yourself.

Can our EQuIS records be moved across? expand_more
Yes. EQuIS and lab data can be brought across from flat files. The free version can read the column names used by EQuIS file formats. Enterprise DNA can move your full history and reconcile it with you, so you can check the records as they are brought across.
Can it use our consent limits and checks? expand_more
Your version can be built around your business rules, fields and consent limits. Environmental results can be checked against criteria that apply at each site, with quality checks on each monitoring round. You can also include your own site-specific values.
What if we need maps as well as records? expand_more
The free version works with records and branded summaries, not maps or cross sections. Enterprise DNA can build maps of results by location into your version. Or you can keep a mapping tool for that work and use your owned version for the rest.
