Today, most companies select their IT equipment not just based upon performance and financial criteria, but also increasingly based upon their environmental impact. With some of datango’s benefits being a reduced need for travel, reductions in printed materials, and the removal of the need for redundant training environments/hardware, an investment in datango software is a positive contribution towards the ‘greening’ of IT. But not all solutions of this kind make the same kind of contribution towards an environmentally conscious IT strategy. With the “datango performance suite” (dps) you not only can significant save resources, but additionally you can implement software projects efficiently and sustainably.

The “dps” solution is based on the just-in-time and ‘always in context’ based delivery of help to users in your live-systems while they proceed in their everyday work. This replaces or reduces significantly complex ‘up front’ training classes and increases skill retention because the lessons are integrated directly into work processes. Users can review lessons, deploy the skill and receive updates or refresher training ‘on demand’. Therefore optimized use of IT systems is not only greener from the first project; it is also a sustainable endeavor as the need to constantly deliver paper or classroom-based instruction is reduced exponentially throughout the application life-cycle.

A green ‘thumbs up’ for efficient software projects

The “datango performance suite” supports a greener IT strategy by making more efficient use of resources and reducing the hardware needed to staff an expanded help-desk, run a training environment or sustain a testing lab – all of which drive better energy efficiency. Similarly, collaborative online access during projects is minimizing travel costs and a streamlined workflow for the development of project materials accelerates project deliveries while increasing productivity. While there’s a great deal more that can be done to reduce the carbon footprint of IT within the world, the use of datango as an integral part of your overarching IT strategy is just one more small step in the right direction.
