Conventionally, the business’s information is scattered across software rather that in one place. System integration brings together component sub-systems into one functional system and ensures that all components work together in harmony to preserve productivity and accurate data analysis. Typical information exchanges include customer information, orders, production line information, customer inquiries, and many more. BU6010: Management Information System - First 2024/2025Module 3: Building Sustainable MIS Slide 5 Why Is System Integration Important? Boost the speed of information flows Reduced operational costs, resulting in improved productivity and quality of operations Critical information is more quickly available throughout the organizations. This allows for faster decisions to be made. Consistent Communication New essential insights available Give stakeholders including customers and partners access to the data that is most useful to them Saves you money and hassle BU6010: Management Information System - First 2024/2025Module 3: Building Sustainable MIS Slide 6 Sustainability The ability to maintain or support a process continuously over time. In business and policy contexts, sustainability seeks to prevent the depletion of natural or physical resources, so that they will remain available for the long term.

Data centers house data and IT infrastructure – both software and hardware. Data centers consumes energy comparable to the electricity consumption of the entire United Kingdom. Crypto and AI increase energy demand by making energy-intensive computing activities more commonplace. One Chat GPT response requires around ten times the electricity of a Google search BU6010: Management Information System - First 2024/2025Module 3: Building Sustainable MIS Slide Increased carbon emissions Carbon emissions – Carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide produced by business processes and systems When left on continuously, a single desktop computer and monitor can consume at least 100 watts of power per hour Article: How LanzaTech turns greenhouse gases into ethanol, bottles and dresses: https://www.premiumbeautynews.com/en/how-lanzatech-turns-greenhouse,21226 BU6010: Management Information System - First 2024/2025Module 3: Building Sustainable MIS Slide Green Computing/ Green IT Refers to practices and technologies for designing, manufacturing, using, and disposing of computers, servers, and associated devices such as monitors, printers, storage devices, and networking and communications systems to minimize impact on the environment. Companies have driven financial, security, and agility benefits through cloud, but sustainability is becoming an imperative. Data centers are now being designed with energy efficiency in mind, using state-of-the art air-cooling techniques, energy-efficient equipment, virtualization, and other energy-saving practices. Large companies like Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and Apple are starting to reduce their carbon footprint.
