Corporates are always in Dilemma of buying an internal Occupational Health Management Software or building it internally. Well here is the guide presentation which will assist you to take the decision.

1. WHY OCCUCARE INSTEAD OF
INTERNAL SOFTWARE FOR
OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
MANAGEMENT?

2. INTRODUCTION
There is always a dilemma where there is a
software requirement by any department in
the corporates. Dilemma to go develop the
software internally or build on the software
which is already there or go with the
external agency who are already providing
the software organization require.
Same Dilemma when company is
considering about Occupational Health
Management Software (OHMS).

4. LET US CONSIDER EACH FACTOR FOR SELECTING
INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL OHMS

5. COMPANY CULTURE
o If the organisation is doing it just for compliance purpose, they mostly prefer to have the process manually,
but since the government has made it mandatory to keep the digital records of Occupational Health, they will
just develop a small internal tool which will just record the health records of the employees.
o If the organisation is serious about their employees health and it’s affect on company’s profitability, they
will definitely evaluate the functions which an external agencies are providing and how it will assist doctors to
save their time and help them focus more on engaging with the employees with wellness activities. And if
these functionalities can be developed internal.
o If can be developed internally, they will have to evaluate the further factors.

6. CONTROL
o Everyone like to be in control, especially corporates.
o If the software is developed internally, definitely they will have a full control on their data and
processes.
o If the software is being purchases, corporate definitely will evaluate, how much control they will
have on their data and processes. Is the software configurable as per their processes? And if vendor
provides installation on corporate’s servers, they will have complete control.

7. TIME
o Not only time, but the urgency of implementing a software is a big factor.
o If OHMS is developed internally, require huge amount of time investments not just from
engineers, but from the medical, safety heads and legal department as well, for requirement
gathering and testing.And no amount of time, will allow the internal team to develop the system
as per the industry standards like external vendors have done, with inputs from various
organizations.
o If purchased from external vendor, only time required is for configuring/customizing as per the
organizations need and implementation of the software.

8. SUPPORT
o Since the softwares users will be the doctors and paramedical staff, who are generally not techsavy,
we will need to have a dedicated support team.
o If OHMS is developed internally, a support team and support processes have to be set up, which
will again required time and other resources.
o If purchased from external vendor, most of the times they have a dedicated support team which
may provide 24/7 support.

9. UPGRADATION
o Since the processes, rule & regulations or guidelines are bound to change there might be requirement of
regular maintenance and update of the software.
o If OHMS is developed internally, the upgradation is done when the requirement is there from the
medical team, and if that requirement is deemed necessary.
o If purchased from external vendor, the vendors are always striving to provide best possible solutions,
and hence they have roadmap for improvements. And since they are serving multiple clients, they keep
the track of the industry, any change in regulations are implemented proactively.
o One more factor for internally developed OHMS, which needs to that the developers who developed the
OHMS might leave the organization, and then there is no one who knows in an out of the system and the
code. And maintenance and support becomes more challenging.

10. COST
o Last, but one of the biggest deciding factors for choosing an internal OHMS over an external OHMS is
cost.
o If developed internally, cost factors like developers salary, as per the time required, resources required
to develop and maintain the OHMS, resources required to provide a proper support to medical staff who
are not generally tech savvy, and others.Which most organisation don’t take into consideration along
with huge cost of maintenance of servers and data management.
o If purchased from external vendor, they have given a clear bifurcation on each factors of the cost.
o Most of the time, it has been noticed that keeping all the factors mentioned previously, overall cost of
software is lower than an internal software.
