Workshop
Sustainable software development – from design to operation
Follow us
How do we reduce resource consumption in IT?
The IT industry is responsible for a considerable consumption of resources through the operation of software, but also for electronic waste and high consumption of resources for the production of hardware.
Especially in the desktop and server environment, performance and sustainability have not really been a relevant parameter to date, particularly because server and cloud costs are often neglected in comparison to developer salaries. This is becoming a growing problem as a result of rising energy and hardware prices, increasingly limited resources and growing demands for sustainability.
Our workshop “Sustainable software development – from design to operation” aims to change this.
Meet your sustainability goals!
Sustainable software development is an important part of your company’s sustainability strategy. It is essential for companies because it promotes resource efficiency and cost savings, extends the life of the software and improves the brand image. It helps to meet legal requirements and provides a competitive advantage. Sustainable practices support innovation, increase employee satisfaction and fulfill the social responsibility to reduce the environmental footprint. Start today for a better tomorrow!

Sustainable software development for your organization
01 Sustainability
The organization's reduced CO2 footprint helps to protect the environment.
02 Cost reduction
By introducing sustainable software development practices, organizations can reduce costs, e.g. by optimizing the performance of code, improving computing power, or using servers intelligently, resource consumption and energy costs can be reduced.
03 Innovation
Innovative solutions for current and future business challenges are developed in the workshop. We examine whether and how new technologies and methodologies can be used in the respective environment in order to work more sustainably and conserve resources.

Sustainable software development
Contents of the workshop
In the interactive discovery phase, we start with a shared, systemic understanding of the status quo of the company and the development process. How is software currently being developed? How do the units involved interact during the software lifecycle from requirements to development to operation? Who are the relevant stakeholders? Who else needs to be brought on board? Which development practices are currently established? How and where is the software typically operated? Has software performance been a parameter that has been taken into account so far? What role has sustainability generally played in the company to date? What opportunities and risks are seen here?
Examples and key figures for the system in operation: CPU/RAM/HDD? What technologies is the software based on? How and where is it operated? How does the performance of the software scale with the number of users and why? Is there a “hotspot” that can be identified for the majority of resource consumption?
What are the basic options for implementing sustainable software development? What effects do they have? What potentially undesirable side effects can they have? The different approaches are analyzed in terms of game theory.
We develop next steps to make software development and operations sustainable. Consideration of paths to sustainability and their classification. Concrete vision and next steps.
We are here for you.
