Case Study: ALLETE achieves rapid compliance reporting and enterprise-wide EHS visibility with Lisam

How Allete Successfully Implemented and Utilizes Perillon EHS Management Software

ALLETE faced a fragmented, manual Environmental and Safety program—scanning paper rounds, emailing Excel sheets and re‑keying into Access—leading to slow report generation, extensive QA/QC, and high institutional risk (90% turnover in the environmental group) amid rising regulatory pressure. To address the need for a centralized, affordable EHS/EMIS solution that could be rolled out incrementally and used across the enterprise, ALLETE engaged Lisam.

Lisam implemented a modular, phased EMIS/EHS platform with mobile/offline field data capture, standardized audit and inspection templates, centralized document storage and executive dashboards. The Lisam deployment delivered measurable benefits: reports in minutes instead of weeks, data captured at the source with no double‑entry, immediate management visibility across sites, reduced compliance risk from staff turnover, and all objectives met within budget with rapid enterprise adoption.
