"Our approach is based on understanding people, processes and technology to help you develop your information strategy.

Our approach to Sustainability: leverages existing technology investments brings together the silos of people, processes and technology

provides for an outcome-driven view of business requirements

helps you develop a road map to allow for your future sustainability needs

There are a number of key steps to be followed in assessing and deploying a Sustainable IT programme. These are:

Step 1: Assessment

We deliver a framework to identify your sustainability needs. This process typically takes 4-6 weeks. We have developed a number of tools to analyse, measure and quantify carbon emissions.

Step 2: Implementation

We develop a road map for you to deliver the necessary changes in terms of technology, people and processes. We prioritise and implement changes according to a bespoke process and use our standards-based global methodology for Sustainability. We provide dashboards and metrics to prove the savings and progress made.

Step 3: Transformation

We provide the strategy, tools and infrastructure needed and help you with the challenges of implementation, including business transformation, stakeholder management, training and infrastructure requirements.

Step 4: Hand-over

Finally, we help you take control of the care and development of your Sustainability programme. We understand the strategic importance of this and implement processes that can be embedded in your business. Carbon reduction is a way of life, not a one-off quick fix."
