Just a few years ago, Green IT was just a fancy term which companies used to promote their brand. No one really bothered about running an IT company or running a few PCs. But a Gartner study published in 2007 revealed PCs and other technology devices are emitting Carbon at the levels of the aviation industry! This was huge. Studies around this also showed that pursuing Green IT is also an economically sensible decision. So, while we end up doing well on the ecological front, we will also do great on the economic front just by adopting Green IT.
While it reduces the carbon foot print of companies and helps its CSR, it also helps organizations reduce their costs significantly in every aspect of their operations.
GLOPORE IMS Solutions
While most of the solutions that are available in the market talk about a green IT in a very narrow perspective (ex: - Green Data center), we at GLOPORE IMS look at this issue in a holistic way. Green IT is not just about the data center. It encompasses everything from the data center to the desktops, the lighting to the end user behavior.
GLOPORE IMS helps organizations in adapting and adopting the latest techniques in multiple ways.
GreenIT Consulting
Our skilled consultants use the latest techniques and software modeling to calculate an organization’s carbon foot print and look at reducing it in a holistic way. Our consultants look at the triple bottom line success and suggest ways in which organizations can improve their triple bottom line. For manufacturing companies, we look at the entire product life cycle to see how the product’s life cycle impacts the economy from the cradle to the grave.
Our consultants do not just look at products and IT. They also evaluate facilities, employee behavior and conduct surveys to give organizations a total evaluation of what it takes for the organization to reduce its carbon foot print to the minimum. While IT adds a lot to the triple bottom line, so does the facilities and the employee behavior.
Process Design
Significant cost savings, quick ROI and environmental savings can be achieved by efficient end user behavior changes and basic system re-engineering. Smart switches, efficient power supplies, system tuning and automated IT policies can reduce energy consumption by up to 60-70%. All these would add to significant cost savings while ensuring tangible ROI from the very beginning.
Carbon Footprint Assessment
To make changes in a system, we first would need to know where we stand. Our Carbon footprint assessment will help organizations evaluate their entire IT system and process design. With this, our consultants can look at patterns of business activity and help organizations change it in a meaningful way to improve their ROI and reduce their carbon footprint.
Green IT ITS/IMS Offerings
Our ITS/IMS Services include helping organizations implement their IT strategy and align it with the business strategy with an eye on increasing the triple bottom line. Our teams that are well versed in the latest techniques of application sizing, server sizing, virtualization, SaaS and the like help organizations understand the advantages and disadvantages of having traditional solutions and implement tools and technologies that provide the same level and quality of service with a much lower carbon foot print.
IT Facilities/Workplace Design
IT involvement during the very early stages of facilities design provides very high cost savings in many respects. Our IT consultants help your organization in designing your facilities to help reduce operating costs, improve utilization of space and design an environmentally sustainable facility. Research has shown that significant cost savings of up to 50% (including electricity and material) can be achieved when facilities are designed with environmental sustainability in mind.
End User Education
Significant energy savings and reduction in carbon footprint can be achieved by properly educating the end users on the best practices of energy/IT equipment utilization. This can include printing, AC, power usage among others. Our skilled consultants work with your organization to understand the end user behavior from the ground up and customize trainings to help educate them to achieve significant cost savings.
