DITTON PARK, England,
Nov. 11, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/
-- Siemens IT Solutions and Services and CA Technologies (Nasdaq:
CA) have today announced a strategic alliance to provide carbon and
sustainability management tools and processes that measure, assess
and report environmental impact and performance within an
organisation. The collaboration will combine CA Technologies
and its CA ecoSoftware suite with Siemens' multi-discipline
industrial experience in carbon and sustainability management.
By working together, the solution and implementation skills
of both companies will support organisations on their
sustainability journey and facilitate compliance with carbon
legislation.
The introduction of the Government's Carbon Reduction Commitment
(CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme this year and the passing of the
initial registration period has increased the importance of carbon
management issues to senior management. Furthermore, the
availability of accurate carbon and sustainability performance data
to support organisational leaders is even more relevant following
the recent Spending Review, which saw the Government announce that
allowances bought by companies would no longer be 'recycled' back
at the end of the reporting year. This has highlighted the
need for organisations to create a climate change and
sustainability strategy, to pursue more accurate data, to enable
the tracking and forecasting of carbon emissions in order to gain
long-term cost savings.
"The complementary strengths of Siemens and CA Technologies have
been fused together in response to the needs of the executive
boardroom for a technology and process solution that can accurately
and robustly support environmental sustainability challenges," said
John Hall, Head of Strategy
& Portfolio for North West
Europe at Siemens IT Solutions and Services. "This
alliance will enable the measurement and management of business
relevant data via one central repository to facilitate swift
decision making and operational efficiencies. Siemens has
partnered with CA Technologies as its CA ecoSoftware solution is an
excellent fit for many of our enterprise clients and provides a
secure and scalable solution for the sustainability journey.
It is essential that UK Plc is now engaged on the long term
sustainable journey."
"Carbon managers and sustainability executive can quickly
deliver reports and forecasts from CA ecoSoftware by systematically
pulling together data from thousands of disparate sources across
the enterprise. It is a giant leap forward from the
spreadsheets that some organisations are still using to manually
calculate emissions and liabilities," said Sonny Masero, vice president, Sustainability
EMEA, CA Technologies. "By partnering with Siemens we can
move positively ahead with software and process implementation
advice that will deliver streamlined reporting to organisations.
The collaboration will also enable us to reach out further
into sectors such as energy, healthcare, public sector, technology
and financial services."
The Siemens and CA Technologies sustainability and carbon
management alliance was announced today at Green IT Expo in
London. A whitepaper
entitled 'Accelerating the Sustainability Journey' setting out a
five-step approach to achieving practical and measurable results,
can be downloaded at TBC.
