Reducing carbon emissions in a core system
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.

Foundational basic Patterns
Form cross-department teams for end-to-end case handling.
Execute tasks when the grid is powered by renewable energy
Offer a green alternative with the same outcome, utilizing different steps, resources, or partners, while retaining the previous existing process
Replace underlying resources with eco-friendly alternatives
Let customers interact with the company wherever they want to
Explore whether a process can easily be used for additional products or services
Assign tasks based on resources' roles in the organisation
Performance-based task assignment
Allocate tasks based on past performance: execution time and success
