STG Advisors is tackling the climate emergency head on. We're developing an innovative IT **energy efficiency** and **transparency** tool, which can be used to improve poorly utilised hardware, poorly designed software, poorly integrated technology and inefficient operations. This tool will empower it's user in the race to deliver net-zero targets in IT.This innovation responds directly to the challenge of accelerating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions that result from accelerating global digitalisation, as well as the lack of transparency around where the emissions are generated within IT hardware and software. As the adoption of cloud computing has exploded, IT efficiency has stalled, and IT transparency has become quite literally lost in the cloud.Our project will use transparency to make IT more efficient. We're building a small piece of software that can be deployed seamlessly to any server. It will gather energy consumption and computational processing data to paint a picture of what is running where. We'll use machine learning to help identify what is running inefficiently, and we'll create a dashboard that empowers the user with insights and executable recommendations for improving their IT energy efficiency. It will be scalable to thousands of servers, and eventually deployable to desktops and other devices.Energy efficiency of IT is the first benefit, but it's not the only benefit. Eventually it can be used to help companies comply with their ESG reporting obligations, or help companies procure more sustainably. It can help customers choose the best product, or help employees choose employers that are delivering on their emissions pledges.It is, in short, a potentially gamechanging innovation in the fight against climate change.

STG Advisors正在解决气候紧急问题。我们正在开发一种创新的能源效率**和**透明度**工具，该工具可用于改善使用良好的硬件，设计较差的软件，集成较差的技术和效率低下的操作。该工具将授权其在其中交付零净目标的竞赛中。这项创新直接应对加速由于加速全球数字化而导致的加速温室气体（GHG）排放的挑战，以及在IT硬件和软件中产生的排放产生的透明度缺乏透明度。随着云计算的采用爆炸，IT效率已经停滞不前，并且它的透明度在云中已经非常丢失了。我们的项目将使用透明度来提高其效率。我们正在构建一个可以无缝部署到任何服务器的小软件。它将收集能源消耗和计算处理数据，以描绘出在哪里运行的图片。我们将使用机器学习来帮助识别效率低下的运行效果，并创建一个仪表板，使用户能够通过洞察力和可执行建议，以提高其IT能源效率。它将可扩展到数千台服务器，并最终可部署到台式机和其他设备。它的能量效率是第一个好处，但这并不是唯一的好处。最终，它可用于帮助公司遵守其ESG报告义务，或帮助公司更可持续地采购。它可以帮助客户选择最佳产品，或者帮助员工选择正在以排放量交付的雇主。简而言之，这是在抵抗气候变化的斗争中的潜在竞争性创新。
