HCLTech believes that Sustainability is no longer optional but essential for businesses to thrive and differentiate themselves in the post pandemic world. Our approach towards decarbonizing IT is predicated on a comprehensive strategy of combining elements of people, process & tech. HCLTech Sustainable IT Framework for Pega quantifies the emissions and assesses sustainability performance of Pega based application across the software development lifecycle – SDLC (i.e., discovery & define; design & develop; deploy & operate phases). The various dimensions based on which the Pega applications are weighed include, architecture & design patterns, implementation practices, maintenance/operations effort, automation hotspots, governance, democratization of technology, security, integration with surround systems, user experience, bot implementation and underlying infrastructure to name a few. The grading of the application outlines the capability adoption maturity based on defined archetypes.

Key Features

• Assess application/application portfolio utilization of infrastructure to quantify and report carbon emissions, aligned to GHG protocol (i.e., Scope 1, 2, & 3).

• Conduct a qualitative assessment of the application/application portfolio across multiple dimensions (e.g., Architecture & Design, Development & QA, Maintenance Services, Engineering Practices etc.), covering the full lifecycle i.e., from design to run.

• Sustainability awareness amongst the workforce is included in the assessment as it is a key aspect of a holistic approach.

• Emissions from practices such as Business travel, Employee commute and work location are quantified and reported.

• Helps customers facilitate informed decision making & create an adoption roadmap.

• It tracks 50+ metrics across categories of Application Development & Maintenance lifecycle. The metrics cover the 3 sustainability pillars (i.e., Planet, People & Prosperity) for a comprehensive view of sustainability performance and progress.
