When it comes to the goal of sustainable operations, the responsibility doesn’t rest solely with the corporate sustainability team. As more organizations focus on operationalizing sustainability across the enterprise, CIOs will have an opportunity to drive more efficient IT operations and support the corporate sustainability agenda.
At the same time CIOs are faced with the complexities of managing the day-to-day operations of their organization while looking to reduce cost yet continue to assure performance. This often leads to overspending or overallocation of resources to mitigate performance risks.
How can technology help business units such as IT Operations, who are tasked with initiatives and programs to reduce energy, waste, and carbon emissions while balancing business outcomes?
Organizations need to have a data-driven approach to achieving sustainability goals and operations plays a large part in making IT efficient both now and in the future.
This is why we are excited to announce a new software integration between IBM Envizi ESG Suite and IBM Turbonomic.
