Platforms, Architecture and Sustainability

Sustainability, while becoming a priority for more enterprises, means many different things to different people, just like the term platforms actually. There are also many fronts on which to address sustainability, including in the IT department directly, supply chain, office operations and plant operations more broadly, to name a few. I’d like to address some of these challenges and how technology can help or has helped already, not just by making the IT department more sustainable, but also by using technology to make the rest of the enterprise more sustainable. I will focus specific attention on the role platforms, architecture, and emerging technology such as AI and XR play in addressing sustainability objectives.
