• Reducing Paper

  Technology has a wonderful way of allowing us to consume content, albeit reports, images, graphs and the like, without having to print it to paper. In fact, utilizing technology allows us to get even more out of our content, like interactivity and real-time customization, all without binding us to a fixed 8.5" x 11" canvas.

  That said, a software solution built correctly should produce output in a number of formats, to seamlessly fit into your technical infrastruture -- including reports designed for both your PC and your iPhone, data alerts issued directly to your BlackBerry or graphs delivered to your conference room projector.

  With countless options for content delivery available, you'll be instantly cutting cost on ink, toner and paper. And with less printing, there's less garbage, and less trees cut down in waste. Hence, you'll be doing your part to help restore our wonderful earth, one virtual report at a time.

• Reducing Travel

  A well built technical solution can allow it's users to access it's functionality from virtually anywhere. As more operations are making their way into the virtual world, and with the virtual world evolving as rapidly as it has been, the possibilities to collaborate and function as a team are endless -- even if individuals are half a world apart.

  Without proper implementation of modern technology, business units are forced to convene at the same physical location in order to work as a team -- whether an office, a client site or a training room. In order to get to that site, everyone has to take trains, planes and automobiles. Aside from being stuck in traffic for hours on the freeway, our cities could use a little less smog on the horizon!

  Depending on the business process at hand, a well built solution allows for users to interact with that process from virtually anwhere, reducing (or eliminating) travel and cutting costs. Aside from saving some money, you're also saving time by allowing your team to be more productive and waste less time on that freeway.

• Recycling Hardware, Reducing Waste

  Often, software vendors rely too much on the newest, fastest hardware to run their applications. While a faster system is great, it is usually pushed by vendors who publish systems that are built inefficiently, and require the faster hardware to make up for their lack of good design.

  Purchasing new hardware means making new space for it, pulling more electricity to run it and, often times, throwing out an old computer that's no longer of any use. While the cycle of upgrading is inevitable, and not necessarily to be frowned upon, there likely are ways to leverage your existing technology to run a well built, efficient technical solution which accomplishes the business goals in mind.

  Depending on how complex the business process is which you are attempting to automate, it's best to take a look at your existing hardware to make sure you're not wastefully purchasing new machines and throwing perfectly good ones away. It's a given that you'll be saving money if you do, but you'll also be saving the environment at the same time.
