(Locus Technologies: San Francisco) -- Locus Technologies (Locus), a provider of web-based environmental compliance and information management software, has introduced an accreditation process for analytical laboratories to deliver analytical data into Locus’ award-winning, cloud-based environmental information management (EIM) system.
