Week 3. Making digital tools sustainable (and saving money for it)

Content

The more resources you use in your digital infrastructure, the higher the emissions and, typically, the higher the bills.

Well-designed well-coded digital tools can be both sustainable and significantly cheaper to run than less intelligent approaches – with some actors claiming savings can be as much as 80%.

Equally, several other project decisions like, for instance, type of server/cloud infrastructure, cain significantly increase or decrease, both, the sustainability and costs of any digital solution.
