Internet of Thingworks, bringing industrial into the mix

Internet of Thingworks, bringing industrial into the mix

By James Governor on January 11, 2012

I have been writing and consulting about the Internet of Things since 1999, when I helped Jonathan Eunice create the “Pervasive Automation” practice at Illuminata. Billions of dollars have poured into the space since then, but we still haven’t seen the big transformation many of us have expected for a long time. But increasingly it [...]

SAP starts highlighting sustainability customer success stories

SAP starts highlighting sustainability customer success stories

By Tom Raftery on June 29, 2011

I had a great chat with SAP’s Jeremiah Stone (Senior Director, Sustainability Solution Management) while we were at Sapphire Now in May. Craig Cmehil was good enough to video it for us, so here we are talking about SAP’s Sustainability solutions and SAP’s move to letting its customers recount their sustainability success stories. Here is [...]

By Tom Raftery on May 9, 2011

With Peter’s permission, I recorded the demo for publication on YouTube. The video above is the result and the transcription is below. Some highlights Peter mentioned include: Sustainability reporting has [...]

A Sustainable Supply Chain Conundrum: Companies Care About Appearance, Not Outcomes

A Sustainable Supply Chain Conundrum: Companies Care About Appearance, Not Outcomes

By Jason Busch on April 20, 2011

Within procurement, corporate social responsibility may be one of the biggest — if not superficial and relatively short-lived — trend in the market right now (besides supply risk, in the wake of recent events), and companies see…

Have HP’s senior executives lost interest in Sustainability?

Have HP’s senior executives lost interest in Sustainability?

By Tom Raftery on March 22, 2011

I attended a HP analyst summit last week in San Francisco and I have been putting off writing down my impressions of the event because I was, frankly, very disappointed. Writing recently about HP’s announcement of their new Energy and Sustainability Solution, I noted that HP’s new CEO Léo Apotheker’s legacy from his time at [...]

HP’s shrinking wallflower attitude may not be Sustainable!

HP’s shrinking wallflower attitude may not be Sustainable!

By Tom Raftery on March 22, 2011

So I wrote a post the other day entitled Have HP’s senior executives lost interest in Sustainability? after attending a HP event in San Francisco. It was a little unfair because I concentrated on the lack of mentions of Sustainability by senior management on the first day of the event while leaving out the fact [...]

I want one of those cute energy dashboards IBM and HP are touting for my home

By Tom Raftery on March 13, 2011

Above is a screenshot of one of the slides from HP’s webinar announcing their new Energy and Sustainability Management solution. What is most interesting about it for me is that, front and center there is a focus on Facilities and Buildings. We have already seen that IBM has identified Smarter Buildings as one of the [...]

The kind of commitment to sustainability which Xerox demonstrates is very rare. It should be the norm.

The kind of commitment to sustainability which Xerox demonstrates is very rare. It should be the norm.

By Tom Raftery on January 27, 2011

I had a phone call recently with Patty Calkins. Patty is Vice President of Environmental Health & Safety for Xerox Corp. I knew Xerox had a good environmental record but until talking to Patty, I had no idea just how good! To put this in context, let’s take a quick look at how long they [...]

Lockheed Martin Going Green!

Lockheed Martin Going Green!

By Tom Raftery on January 12, 2011

When you hear the name Lockheed Martin – you don’t immediately think “Ah, now there’s a Green company” – they are after all, among the very largest defence contractors in the world. In 2008 70% of Lockheed Martin’s revenues came from military sales. However, after a recent discussion with Dr David Constable, Lockheed Martin’s VP [...]
