Efficient IT Assessment & Stamp of Approval

Enterprise IT can consume many resources, and our way of prioritizing and communicating that usage is through Efficient IT. Our Efficient IT Assessment is the first and only holistic evaluation of enterprise IT organizations, focused on reducing waste, improving financial controls and lowering carbon emissions.

The assessment evaluates more than just the technology itself. Our team also looks at management behaviors across leadership and the IT Infrastructure. Efficient IT is the industry’s only outcome-based evaluation, offering practical recommendations to leverage existing technologies and adopt new ones where they would lead to improvements. Training or changes to staff can also be an important part of Efficient IT.

Three Elements of Holistic Approach

Leadership

Managing technology adoption gracefully and effectively is a key part of reducing resource consumption. The members of leadership that make these decisions must have the right kind of training and support structures for this work, as well as promote effective goals, company culture and organization.

Here are some of the areas we look at regarding an organization's leadership and energy-efficient data centers:

  • Cloud Computing Strategy
  • Sustainability Reporting
  • Culture & Recognition
  • Energy Management Program
  • Organizational Alignment

Efficient organizations look for sustainable designs and think hard about their overall setup.

Some elements of the data center that we evaluate include:

  • Site Selection
