Measure and reduce your app estate’s carbon footprint

Sustainability in IT isn’t just about cutting energy consumption in the data centre. Different apps use different amounts of power, so it makes sense to standardise on the ones that consume the least.

Application Sustainability
Camwood lets you manage a rationalised application portfolio with sustainability in mind. Using our Camwood Survey tool, we’ll analyse your apps to establish a benchmark against which you can plan and measure future sustainability improvements, including:

• Environmental impact: how much power each app – and the overall estate –  currently consumes
• Categorisation – You need to know what your apps do so you can benchmark them against others that do the same thing
• Software Asset Management value: assess how much you are paying for each of your apps

We’ll then provide recommendations for a greener (and lower cost) portfolio, in line with your current applications strategy and corporate sustainability objectives. Our report will include:

• Objectives: A set of measurable sustainability objectives for your app estate
• Business case: Why you should include sustainability in your apps strategy
• Rating: How your app estate will contribute to corporate sustainability goals

And we can deliver the following services to ensure you get an environmentally-friendly app portfolio that still meets all your business needs and objectives:

• Rationalisation: We’ll slim down your app estate for lower CO2 emissions and better use of infrastructure
• Procurement: We’ll license the most energy-efficient apps that meet your current and future business needs
• Management: We’ll manage your estate on an ongoing basis to ensure it remains lean, green and fit for purpose

Not only will you have a greener, lower-cost app estate and the ability to keep measuring and improving it, you’ll also get lots of environmental data for sustainability reporting – vital for any organisation with a public commitment to carbon reduction.
