Descriptions

The City of London Corporation currently utilise a system to perform invoice validation and report cost, carbon usage and consumption. 2027 is a pivotal year for climate action at the City of London Corporation because it marks the first major net zero target deadline set out in its Climate Action Strategy. In order to achieve Net Zero Operations by 2027, an intelligent platform is mandatory to support progress towards end targets.

Thus, keeping costs as minimal as possible is crucial to ensuring the City operates. The City are therefore seeking a modern cloud based platform that will permit ease of visibility to cost, carbon, and consumption as well as utilising the latest AI technology to support predictability, analysis, carbon and cost reduction measures.
