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.

Minimize numerical involvement
Too many cooks spoil the broth
Delegate and optimize your operations
Collect similar work items and work in batches
Offer a green alternative with the same outcome, utilizing different steps, resources, or partners, while retaining the previous existing process
Let customers interact with your organization whenever they want to.
First-contact problem resolution
Establish a one-contact resolution for customer issues
