Evaluating the environmental impact of Digital Technologies: The IEN Project and Teclib’

The IEN (Environmental Impact of Digital Technology) project, launched by IRT SystemX, aims to develop tools to assess the environmental impact of digital technologies. This 36-month project involves major players like Airbus Protect, Teclib’, Total Energies, AFNIC and CentraleSupélec to create standardized evaluation methods.

Objectives of the IEN Project

IEN aims to provide a systemic approach to evaluate the direct and indirect environmental impacts of digital systems, offering standardized indicators based on the full life cycle of digital components.

The role of Teclib’

Teclib’ contributes with its expertise in managing the environmental impact of digital services and software. Its experience in sustainable development and open-source software helps create decision-making tools based on environmental and economic criteria.

Methodology and implementation

IEN’s comprehensive approach includes:

– Defining valuation rules for environmental impacts of physical components at each life cycle stage.

– Creating a decision-making tool for technological choices and data processing methods.

– Sharing a systemic diagnostic guide on environmental impacts with the scientific community, along with training solutions to raise awareness among digital stakeholders.

Perspectives and contributions

Drawing on research from the PSE (Paris-Saclay Energies) project and the CircularIT alliance, IEN promotes the circular economy and ecological transition. Expected outcomes include a common framework and methodology for industries, local authorities, and suppliers to facilitate more sustainable technological choices.

The IEN project is a significant step towards rigorous and standardized evaluation of the environmental impact of digital technologies. With partners like Teclib’, this project aims to provide valuable tools for adopting more environmentally friendly digital practices and supporting the transition to a circular economy.

We also celebrated Teclib’s 15th anniversary! 🎉 🥳

The event started with a warm welcome for employees with coffee and croissants, and some casual conversation.

We then had professional presentations to talk about our expectations, developments, and our goals for the end of 2024 and 2025.

We started with Loïc Lefur, Sales director, who introduced his team of Channel Managers:

Samra Mola: Channel Manager based in Italy.

Next, Daniela Buxó, Marketing Manager at Teclib’, shared statistics about the business in terms of marketing and goals for this year and next year.

After that, was the technical team’s time. Alexandre Delaunay and the product team, spoke about news and developments in GLPI and future releases such as GLPI Carbon, GLPI v11, and much more that we will share with you soon.

Chloé Robin, Buy The Way’s director, along with Alexandre Fageon, the Consulting Director, presented their new website, which you can find here: https://buy-the-way.com/ and also discussed their clients, developments, and objectives.

To conclude the presentations, our CEO, Pascal Aubry, spoke about financial figures, objectives, recruitment, and more. He also thanked each of us for our work over the years and set the tone for enjoying this exciting day!

After the presentations, we made a group activity: a treasure hunt with maps and a final goal: plant a tree. We could choose from cherry, apple, pear, almond, and many other trees! It was a very memorable and nice activity to share with all the teclibers.

Finally, we enjoyed aperitifs, music, and discussions with colleagues. And of course, Happy Birthday, Teclib’!

Thank you all for participating in this Teclib’ Day. We are very happy to move forward and meet the new people who have joined Teclib’ over the years. See you again at the next Teclib’ Day!

Streamlining Asset Management: automating transfers in GLPI

In the dynamic world of IT asset management, maintaining accurate and efficient control over asset allocation is crucial. GLPI, an open-source IT Asset Management system, provides a powerful and comprehensive solution to manage a vast array of assets. From hardware to software inventories to networking equipment.

When looking for efficiency, an effortless and reliable asset management process is crucial for maintaining operational data up-to date, laying the foundation for strategic planning.

The Challenge of Manual Asset Transfers

Manual asset transfers and update are one of the most faced challenges within an organization that starts the CMDB processes. The process, inherently prone to human error, can lead to inaccuracies in data, misallocations, and administrative overhead. It means costs and less perception of value to the company. Not to mention the time consumed from the people responsible to assure the inventory is correctly updated.

Automating Asset Transfers with GLPI

Automating asset transfer in GLPI not only saves time but also ensures a more efficient and error-free management process. By leveraging business rules, you can ensure that computers, software licenses, and monitors are always optimally allocated, improving overall productivity and resource utilization.

Benefits and Best Practices for Automated Asset Management

  • Choosing the correct criteria
    • Name – beginning, ending
    • IP – ranges, or fixed ones
    • Serial number – if it’s a lot
    • Inventory numbers
    • GLPI Inventory Agent tags
  • Standardize those rules in real life decisions
    • Make operations team understand that naming devices, VLAN, selecting IP addresses, impact directly into the documentation scenario.
    • Create documents to let everyone knows the new standards and the why’s.
  • Keep records of every asset and where they are in the organization.
