Logicalis, a global IT solutions and managed services provider, has announced the launch of a new sustainability offering – a comprehensive Sustainable IT solutions blueprint, designed to propel organisations towards a more environmentally conscious and carbon efficient IT infrastructure.
The Logicalis 2024 CIO report, which surveyed over 1,000 CIOs globally, found that 93% see challenges in attaining their environment goals. One such challenge, cited by 43% of respondents, relates to the collection of data distributed across the organisation. Meanwhile, more than half (57%) are not confident that their company knows how its digital estate is performing against environmental goals.
While there are challenges, the research found that sustainability is a priority for CIOs with 92% investing in such initiatives or technologies this year and 96% of tech leaders already involved in their company’s overall sustainability planning and target setting. In terms of achieving these goals, 93% believe ‘IT is core to the success of their organisation’s sustainability goals’.
The Sustainable IT solutions blueprint, available initially in Ireland and the UK, is designed to help customers evaluate, navigate and mitigate carbon in their environment through a data-driven approach to carbon reduction and circularity.
This offering is set to redefine the approach to IT infrastructure and management. By seamlessly integrating sustainability into every stage of the digital transformation journey, Logicalis UK&I is enabling organisations to achieve their sustainability goals, reduce their environmental impact, optimise resource utilisation, and drive long-term business value.
The blueprint launch encompasses five key Sustainable IT solutions, with the portfolio to be further developed in the coming months:
- Sustainability maturity assessment: A thorough evaluation of an organisation’s current IT sustainability practices, identifying areas for improvement and optimisation.
- Sustainable network transformation: Implementing cutting-edge network solutions that reduce energy consumption and enhance operational efficiency.
- Smart and sustainable building solutions: Integrating intelligent technologies to create eco-friendly, energy-efficient workspaces.
- Circular IT solutions: Offering take-back programmes and remanufactured equipment options to minimise e-waste and promote resource conservation.
- Sustainable managed services: Leveraging the Digital Fabric Platform to deliver a carbon score on the IT in an environment while offering further recommendations to optimise IT Health.
Neil Eke, CEO of Logicalis UK and Ireland, commented on the launch: “Our Sustainable IT solutions launch exemplifies Logicalis’ commitment to becoming the sustainable IT partner of choice in the Ireland and the UK.
