Context
A large cantonal bank already engaged in sustainability wanted to measure and structure its digital footprint to embed digital sobriety in its governance and internal practices.
Sector backdrop. Banks combine large fleets of end-user devices, dense data-centre footprints and a heavy reliance on third-party cloud services, three categories where Sustainable IT levers compound quickly. Regulatory pressure on non-financial reporting also makes a defensible IT footprint a near-term necessity.
Approach
We delivered a complete IT system analysis via the IT footprint and Sustainable IT maturity assessment, delivered through the MIKUJY platform, applying ISO 14040/44 and GHG Protocol methodologies and benchmarking maturity against the Sustainable IT Label.
- Lifespan extension and IT fleet optimisation.
- Reduction of paper and printing through digitalisation.
- Strengthened Sustainable IT governance with a dedicated owner.
- Progressive roadmap towards the Numérique Responsable label.
Results
Clear, shared and operational view of the IT system. The bank's IT, CSR and management teams now have tools to steer decisions and inscribe digital sobriety in their innovation strategy.
Why this matters
A baseline measurement is rarely the end of the story, it is the input that makes every subsequent decision (procurement, lifespan, cloud regions, application portfolio) defensible with numbers rather than opinions.
A few patterns came out of the engagement that tend to repeat across organisations of similar scale: the largest share of the footprint almost always lives in end-user devices, not in the data centre.
How the MIKUJY platform supported the work
The MIKUJY platform was used end-to-end to structure the engagement, host the data and consolidate results in dashboards the teams could revisit at any time.
More specifically, the Measure module powered the IT footprint and Sustainable IT maturity assessment, turning scattered inventories into a single comparable baseline.
MIKUJY consultants brought hands-on professional support throughout the engagement, facilitating workshops, validating data and helping translate the platform outputs into a concrete action plan.
