About Us
What we do
We measure the carbon footprint of your SAP systems and offer advice and guidance to enable you to reduce your SAP emissions. We help you report those achievements up the chain to the CIO, CFO and CEO for inclusion against your organisation's Net Zero commitments.
Why we do it
With 30 years experience in SAP technologies, our Founder cares passionately that valuable IT resources must never be wasted. Since unused SAP resources emit high levels of carbon unnecessarily, optimising your SAP architecture will not only reduce your organisation's carbon emissions, it can also substantially cut your SAP running costs.
Our Approach
Our approach pursues small, achievable targets to achieve long-term goals when building and operating sustainable SAP architectures. After all, every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. We strongly encourage adopting a carbon-aware mindset by placing carbon emissions as a core KPI from Day One of any SAP implementation. We establish sustainable SAP architectures in four stages:
BASELINE
A SAP upgrade or migration is a once in a generation opportunity to baseline the carbon footprint of both existing and target SAP landscapes.
This will provide before/after estimates of a SAP architecture’s CO2 emissions, and a base from which to measure how future changes impact those emissions, e.g. how much less CO2 will I emit if I shutdown DEV and QA systems at weekends?
MEASURE
"If it can be measured, it can be managed." This is especially true for a SAP system, with its vast CPU, memory and storage demands.
With a baseline already established, we can begin to measure actual consumption vs. capacity. This will provide a running total of a SAP system’s CO2 emissions, and a place from which we can begin to gauge how future changes can impact those emissions.
OPTIMISE
Once the SAP landscape’s carbon footprint is known and is being actively measured, we seek opportunities to reduce emissions by adopting best practices in efficiently managing SAP, gained from over 25 years of experience in operating least-cost, low-carbon SAP landscapes.
e.g. How much less CO2 will we emit if we snooze the idle Development and Test systems overnight and at weekends?
CELEBRATE
We celebrate cutting carbon from our SAP architectures by spreading the good news to encourage everyone to seek further opportunities to reduce IT emissions, wherever they may find them, both within and outside of SAP.
We strive to establish a virtuous circle where everyone has a real sense of achievement in their contribution towards their organisation's Net Zero commitments, and feels motivated to seek further optimisations.
