UBM and Microsoft shift computational tasks in CO2-reduced times
This whitepaper discusses the first enterprise-scale implementation of carbon-aware computing, a collaboration between UBS and Microsoft under the Green Software Foundation (GSF) umbrella. Using the GSF Software Carbon Intensity (SCI) specification and carbon-aware-sdk tooling, the partners implemented a time-shifting strategy for UBS's risk platform, running workloads during periods of lower carbon intensity in the grid. This approach is projected to prevent multiple metric tons of CO2eq from entering the atmosphere annually.
Determine whether activities are related to the same type of case and, if necessary, distinguish new business processes
Establish a case-based mindset
Remove batch-processing and periodic activities from your business process
Design business processes for typical cases and isolate exceptional cases from the normal flow
If capacity is insufficient, consider increasing the available number of resources
Replace underlying resources with eco-friendly alternatives
Let customers interact with your organization whenever they want to.
Offer customers the possibility to serve themselves
Assign tasks based on resources' roles in the organisation
