Advisory Services
Identifying innovative technologies that work for business and the environment.
Computacenter is proud of its position as both a global IT service provider and as a value-added reseller with strategic relationships and technical expertise across all leading technology manufacturers and product sets. This provides us with a unique ability to work with our customers to advise on their strategy, design, and technology selection direction across their entire IT environment. In doing so, we are able to ensure that each customer’s sustainability objectives are taken into account alongside technical, operational, and commercial objectives to develop a unified approach that will underpin their long-term success.
Product & Service Offerings
Within the strategy, selection, and design streams, the services we offer to help our customers achieve this outcome include:
Market Review & Analysis:
Our technology experts continually research and evaluate the market for technologies and solutions, providing comparative analysis and benchmarking of products against sustainability metrics or criteria. The outputs from this analysis can then be shared with our customers to inform and enhance their technology strategy.
Technical Advisory Services:
We provide technology-centric advisory services for our customers’ existing IT environments. We assess, analyse, report, and recommend actions to improve sustainability performance while still achieving the desired commercial and technical outcomes.
Technology Selection Advice:
Where customers have committed to making an investment in new technology, our expert teams help to identify the optimal products to meet the desired outcomes. They factor in the sustainability of this investment from manufacturing through configuration, logistics, distribution, ongoing management, and eventual retirement, proactively recommending steps that the customer can take to minimise their impact on the planet.
eCommerce Product Catalogue:
Our established eCommerce procurement portal provides industry standard EPEAT sustainability ratings for all eligible technology across a broad range of manufacturers, allowing customers to make an informed decision on the technology they purchase. This can be further enhanced through curated catalogues or promoted products in alignment with pre-defined sustainability objectives.
Design Blueprints & Architectures:
We promote sustainability as standard across all solution designs, applying consistent principles and design parameters such as ‘cloud first’ to ensure that sustainability objectives are met. This is reinforced through sustainability impact evaluations on all technology designs produced to promote consideration of best practice.
Our circular services
We consider the full lifecycle of technology assets, leveraging our circular services capabilities to undertake a complete view of the sustainability impact different technologies have. This is in order for our customers to make the most informed decisions that will align with their sustainability goals. Computacenter’s circular services are able to recover value from used technology, redeploy devices back into the business, remarket externally, or recycle raw materials. Computacenter is the only IT recycling company that returns raw materials to their initial producers to be remanufactures into the next generation, making end-of-life truly back-to-life.
