Your IT and the Green agenda

Every one reading this website is on a computer, that computer needs power and so do the servers and storage we are all connected to. Power costs money and soon will tax heavily either directly at source or indirectly through the CRC.

Many of our clients have been concerned about protecting their business in current economic climate rather than saving the planet. This agenda is now changing as all public and private sector bodies recognise that have strong environmental principles are now a major contributor to the bottom line and part of your Corporate and Social Responsibility strategy.

Scientia is a business that crosses the divide between IT and the green agenda. We offer a range of services to identify you carbon impact of your IT; quantify the overall percentage of power usage; Quantify your CO2 emissions and CRC commitment where appropriate. We then put forward cost effective strategies, policies and technologies that will reduce CO2 emissions and reduce power costs, prioritised by payback period and simplicity of implementation.

We look forward to helping you define your goals and plotting a path to reach them.
