Letter From the Editor
When Less Is More
Our mission at the Tech Journal is to deliver unique, valuable perspectives on the subjects that matter most to our readers. Sustainability is a topic we’ve considered for a while, and when the survey results came back from our annual Insight Intelligent Technology Report, we knew it couldn’t wait.
Maybe it’s due to company values and altruistic ambitions. Or societal pressure and regulatory mandates. Whatever the reasons, organizations are actively moving sustainability initiatives up their priority list.
But the fiscally savvy see another motive: Return on Investment (ROI).
“Do more with less” seems like a cliché for many of us. And the promise to actually do more with less feels like a tired concept. And yet, sustainability does help do more with less: Less waste. Less consumption. Less cost. Less risk.
The state of global affairs has forced a period of cost conservation and speculation. ROI is everything. We must maximize the value of existing technology investments, rather than reimagining or building something new. Transformation initiatives must save money or make money.
But, as you’ll discover in the pages of this issue of Tech Journal, leaders aren’t forced to choose between what’s good for the environment and what’s good for business.
Companies that prioritize Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals are better positioned to build strong relationships with partners and customers, comply with regulations, manage risk, drive innovation and efficiency, and create long-term value.
And what about that promise of doing more with less?
We couldn’t publish this issue without exploring the bountiful opportunities (and challenges) of generative AI. While this technology continues to spread like wildfire, we wonder if it’s the answer to burnout. Is collaboration between human and machine the solution to sustainable workloads? Time will tell.
P.S. To our loyal readers, we hope you enjoy the new and improved Tech Journal experience. We welcome your feedback and suggestions for topics we should cover in the future.
