Microsoft Adds Sustainability to ERP
Microsoft Corp. announces the general availability of the Environmental Sustainability Dashboard for Microsoft Dynamics AX. The new toolset aims to enable midsize businesses to capture data needed to measure key indicators related to energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions as part of everyday business processes from within their enterprise resource planning solution, helping them pinpoint ways to cut their energy consumption and costs.
With the new solution, companies can collect auditable data on four environmental performance indicators identified by the Global Reporting Initiative for energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, including direct on-premise fuel consumption and the carbon footprint of their power usage with utilities and other vendors. Based on this information, organizations can monitor their carbon footprint and institute business practices in order to become more environmentally and economically sustainable.
