ABSTRACT
The concept of cloud computing has been steadily growing in popularity over the past decade or two. The many benefits that Software as a Service (SaaS) offers include simple, web-based accessibility, a quick set-up time, less maintenance required, and less effort needed from IT. However, despite the Cloud’s glowing reviews and increasing presence in the corporate world, some companies still remain in the past.
Switching to the Cloud can be an especially detrimental decision to organizations responsible for managing their environmental data across multiple sites. For industries ranging from energy and utilities to food production and services, the millions of records and numerous regulations companies deal with every day makes this a highly complex process. Even though multifaceted and difficult, countless companies still choose to use spreadsheets or access databases to collect, analyze, and report on their environmental, compliance, and sustainability data.
Information management is the key driver behind all aspects of environmental management, costs and performance. This is why the proper management of environmental data is essential. If a company has records scattered across various silo systems that neither the company nor their consultants can easily access, this data cannot be effectively mined for actionable information, and what can’t be measured can’t be managed.
By managing environmental information in the Cloud, cost benefits can be reached. By capturing and analyzing data in one centralized, easily accessible place, you can analyze information at portfolio level a thousand times faster, providing actionable insight in real time. This feature allows you to easily identify opportunities for cost savings.
