Sustainability at Scale: Reducing Your IT Carbon Footprint with IMS

The New Mandate: IT That Performs and Preserves

Enterprises today are expected to do more than deliver results, they’re expected to do so responsibly. ESG goals are no longer aspirational; they’re operational. And IT, often one of the largest contributors to energy usage and e-waste, sits at the heart of this transformation. But achieving IT sustainability at scale requires more than carbon offsetting or green marketing. It demands a shift in how infrastructure is designed, maintained, and managed. That’s where Orient Technologies’ Infrastructure Managed Services (IMS) plays a catalytic role.

Why Sustainability is a Business Issue, Not Just a Climate One

The business case for sustainable IT is growing:

• Rising energy costs make inefficient infrastructure expensive.
• Global regulations (like SECR, TCFD, and India’s BRSR mandate) demand transparent sustainability reporting.
• Investors and boards are prioritizing ESG metrics alongside profitability.
• Customers and talent increasingly align with eco-conscious brands.
• Ignoring sustainability is not a neutral act, it's a strategic risk.

Orient’s IMS: Driving Sustainable Infrastructure by Design

Sustainability is baked into our IMS framework, not bolted on. Here's how:

1. Device Lifecycle Optimization
   
   • Through Device-as-a-Service (DaaS), we reduce over-purchasing and extend device lifespans with timely refresh cycles, reuse, and certified disposal.
2. Green IT Operations
   
   • We monitor energy consumption across endpoints and network infrastructure, suggesting eco-mode configurations and deploying energy-efficient hardware.
3. Managed Print Services (MPS)
   
   • By right-sizing print fleets, deploying duplex defaults, and implementing usage analytics, we help reduce paper waste and carbon emissions.
4. Consolidated Vendor Ecosystem
   
   • Fewer vendors mean less duplication, lower logistics overhead, and a streamlined environmental footprint, all under one SLA.
5. Field & Facility Alignment
   
   • On-premise IT support includes proactive checks to minimize energy wastage from underutilized devices, idle servers, or redundant infrastructure.

Quantifying the Impact

With IMS-led sustainability practices, clients have seen:

• 15–30% reduction in IT-related energy costs
• Up to 25% decrease in e-waste through lifecycle controls
• Improved ESG scoring via traceable reporting and greener SLAs
