Embracing digital transformation, cybersecurity, energy-efficent infrastructure, and relevant data and systems helps meet sustainability goals.
How does digital transformation contribute to sustainability?
Digital transformation can streamline operations and reduce resource consumption. For instance, implementing automation and paperless workflows minimizes waste and enhances efficiency. Technologies like Microsoft Teams and cloud-based solutions not only facilitate remote work but also reduce business travel and commuting, leading to lower carbon emissions.
What role does energy-efficient infrastructure play in sustainability?
Energy-efficient infrastructure, such as server virtualization and cloud computing, can significantly advance sustainability goals. For example, migrating to the cloud can lead to a 65% reduction in energy usage and an 84% decrease in carbon emissions, as seen in our transition from on-premises systems to cloud-based solutions like Dynamics 365.
Why is cybersecurity important for sustainability?
Cybersecurity is crucial for protecting intangible assets, which now represent 90% of an organization's value. By managing cyber risks effectively, companies can safeguard critical data and minimize potential losses from breaches. This proactive approach not only supports sustainability efforts but also enhances overall governance and risk management.
