Green I.T. is about working smarter and saving costs too!
Green IT - solutions for efficiency and carbon reduction...

Green initiatives can provoke a re-assessment of your IT systems and business processes.Greener IT can be a way to re-consider how you run your IT and your business processes.

That doesn't mean compromising the performance or features of your technology or what you can achieve!
Of course, that's where we can help you find the right balance...

That's where we can help...

  • Evaluate business processes and identify better ways of working
  • Move from slow paper processes and large volume printing, to quicker nibble electronic processes
  • Minimise power usages by maximising computing power through virtualisation
  • Implement improved systems and infrastructure to enable and support remote working
  • Implement e-meeting & remote screen options to help reduce travel, costs and carbon emissions.
  • Minimise waste by evaluating operations and ensuring they are as efficient as possible.

At Basic we have carefully evolved an ideal mix Products, Software and Methodologies to maximise the results that can be obtained from Green initiatives.

Our efficient operating practices have been green orientated for decades and that puts us in an ideal position to help work with you to improve your systems, software and working practices.

Of course, with the back drop of Green IT, is easy to forget that many 'Green' inititives are simply re-badged ways or reasons for improving speed and efficiency, reducing administration and using technologies such as Virtualisation, to run more with less.

Some of our smarter eco-sensitive working practices...

We can help you in the same way we've been helping ourselves with our our smarter eco-sensitive working practices:

  • Web Meetings & Screen Sharing technology: Lotus Sametime and Mikogo saved 3000+ business miles alone on 1 project. This has major benefits in our productivity and how fast we can support our Customers.
  • Remote working methodologies to achieve improved working efficiency and reduced travel.
  • Remote Support tools for access to customer sites rather than physical visits.
  • IBM Lotus Notes & Domino for electronic, collaborative workflow applications.
    Our workflow and e-working applications help us achieve massive reductions in paper usage and be highly productive with our lean business processes. We also use IBM Lotus Notes, Lotus Domino and IBM Lotus Sametime for internal communications. Whilst many people consider it simply an email platform, we use Lotus Notes and Domino heavily as an infrastructure and applications platform, with free email thrown in.
  • Virtualisation - leading to less use of materials, electricity and air-conditioning.

We will work hard to ensure we meet your needs...

As our Customers will likely testify, we work hard to make sure we meet your needs and deliver high quality Products and Services that generate healthy returns on investment.

We have a great track record of helping our Customers achieve great things and work closely with them, as part of their team.

We'd love to talk with you about your business needs and how we can help.
