Confronto · Piattaforma DMA vs suite ESG aziendali

DMA mirato o suite aziendale completa?

Enterprise ESG suites bundle DMA with carbon accounting, reporting automation, supply chain monitoring and more. That scope costs €50k–€500k+ per year. Weight what actually matters to you — see a live fit score.

Quello che conta è il peso.

Slide each capability between “not needed” and “critical.” The fit score for each option updates live. Not a marketing score — it’s honest: enterprise suites genuinely win on some dimensions.

Siamo una PMI che gestisce VSME

Prima segnalazione volontaria. Nessun registro delle emissioni di carbonio, nessun strumento per la catena di approvvigionamento.

Ci serve il DMA, non una suite completa

Abbiamo già un sistema di rendicontazione delle emissioni di carbonio altrove. Vogliamo solo un DMA mirato e conforme agli standard di revisione.

Azienda della Fase 1, ambito completo

È necessario un gruppo con più entità, un sistema IAM aziendale e l'automazione della reportistica end-to-end.

A confronto, caratteristica per caratteristica.

Enterprise ESG suites are powerful where their scope matches your needs. Where your needs are narrower, the bundle becomes dead weight. Here’s the honest breakdown.

Piattaforma o suite aziendale: domande frequenti.

Isn’t an enterprise suite better because it covers more? +

Only if you need all of what it covers. Enterprise ESG suites price the full bundle — DMA + carbon + reporting + supply chain + climate risk — even if you only use part of it. Organisations that already have carbon accounting in a dedicated tool (e.g. Sweep, Persefoni, Plan A, Normative), or that outsource iXBRL tagging to their auditor, end up paying for capabilities they don’t use.

Modularity matters: being able to choose a focused DMA platform and integrate it with carbon accounting from another vendor is often both cheaper and better, because best-of-breed tools tend to outperform bundled modules.

When IS an enterprise suite the right answer? +

Genuine use cases: (1) you need end-to-end automation from activity-data ingestion through iXBRL-tagged ESEF output as a single workflow; (2) you have the budget and governance to support a six- or seven-figure annual contract; (3) your organisation benefits from a single sustainability-reporting vendor for procurement or vendor-risk reasons; (4) you have no existing carbon accounting infrastructure and want one vendor to solve everything.

If most of these apply, an enterprise suite is genuinely the right tool. For the many organisations where only one or two apply, a focused DMA platform plus best-of-breed tools for carbon / supply chain is the more efficient architecture.

Can we use the GIG DMA platform alongside an enterprise suite? +

Yes. A common pattern: the enterprise suite handles carbon accounting, supply chain and reporting automation; the DMA sits in our platform because of workflow depth, auditor collaboration features and cost. Data export via CSV or JSON supports integration either direction. No lock-in either way.

Why doesn’t the platform include carbon accounting? +

Deliberate scope decision. Carbon accounting is a separate discipline — activity data ingestion, emission factor libraries, verification methodology — and best-of-breed dedicated tools already exist for it. Building a thin carbon module into a DMA platform would dilute both. We’d rather do DMA deeply and integrate cleanly with dedicated carbon tools than build a shallow imitation of both.

If your organisation needs a single-vendor solution, an enterprise suite is the right answer. If you can run best-of-breed across categories, the DMA platform + a dedicated carbon tool is almost always the better architecture.

How do we migrate from an enterprise suite if we’ve already bought one? +

We support CSV and JSON import from standard DMA data structures. The practical friction is usually contractual, not technical — enterprise contracts often have multi-year commitments. Many organisations start by running the GIG platform as a parallel workspace for year 1’s DMA while the enterprise contract runs out, then consolidate onto the cheaper, more focused tool in year 2.

Prova lo strumento specifico. Tieni la suite se la usi davvero.

Free platform, full DMA depth, CSV/JSON import and export both ways. If an enterprise suite’s full scope is genuinely what you need, we’ll say so. If not, you’ll save most of your ESG software budget for the work that matters.
