The tasks of an IT department are numerous and wide-ranging. It has to ensure that the necessary IT infrastructure is available to enable colleagues to work efficiently, securely, and flexibly. This ties up a lot of resources. New requirements, for example that IT should be sustainable, present an additional challenge. Our e-book explains how you can make your IT sustainable WITHOUT tying up resources.

“There is no denying it: Digitalization – from smartphones to streaming and blockchain technology – is responsible for a substantial amount of carbon emissions. The bulk of these are emitted right at the start during raw material extraction and the manufacture of IT equipment. Transport also has a considerable carbon footprint, not least because of the complex structures of global supply chains. Once devices are delivered to the user, they are often used only for a short period of time before being disposed of. This results in millions of tonnes of electronic waste.”
If you want to equip your company for the future and reduce the carbon footprint of your IT without tying up resources, then read our e-book, which contains a checklist of things to bear in mind during implementation.
