5 Reduced energy consumption, increased efficiency Save energy and paper with Green ICT. The sum of all the computers operated across the world today accounts for more CO2 emissions than global air traffic. Multiplied with rising energy prices, electricity bills become a significant cost factor for an increasing number of businesses. Often, precise figures for the ICT infrastructure s exact electricity consumption cannot even be provided. Many companies do not include electricity costs when calculating the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Rely on electronic invoices with Green ICT and reduce paper consumption. At the same time, you will also benefit from more efficient billing processes. Take care of your budget as well as the environment: > Operate your server in an efficient server room or outsource data storage and backup completely in an efficiently operated computer centre. > Leverage the advantages of electronic invoices: Increased efficiency thanks to electronic billing rather than high levels of paper consumption. Optimise energy consumption and minimise waste with Green ICT: > Reduced energy consumption thanks to hosting with our Data Centre Services and energy-efficient laptops. > Reduced paper consumption with the Invoice Reporting billing suite and the E-Invoice electronic invoices.
