Is technology an environmental problem - or a solution?

As the debate continues over issues such as CO2 emissions, fuel consumption and productivity, something major is being overlooked: technology can be an answer, not a problem. Consider for example NTRsupport, the leading remote IT support solution.

NTRglobal's reason for existence is to help companies troubleshoot, fix, administer and maintain their IT systems and computers remotely. This keeps IT technicians and managers off the road, reducing CO2 emissions and fuel consumption and providing other environmental benefits - while also saving companies money and increasing efficiency of workers.

IT workers can get a lot more done when they're not behind the wheel of a vehicle, and systems can be up and running much faster if they're diagnosed instantly without waiting for somebody to drive across town or walk across the corporate campus.

NTRglobal solutions are used by managed service provider IT support companies to remotely diagnose and repair home and small-business computers, keeping those technicians off the road as well.

"What we do is good for the environment and good for business," says Andre Angel, CEO of NTRglobal Americas. "You can have it both ways, at least if you use a company like ours."

To further promote this message, NTRglobal announced on April 22nd an initiative to make a contribution towards urban and rural reforestation for every new NTRglobal client. This will involve planting, care and education. Our goal is to talk other environmentally-oriented companies into joining us in this program.

"This planet is our responsibility too," said Angel. "NTRglobal wants to be good caretakers - part of the solution, not part of the problem."

How much of a difference can a program like this make? Climatologists estimate that in a single year, an acre of trees can absorb the amount of CO2 equal to the amount emitted by a car driven 8,000 miles.

"But at this point it's not so much about statistics," added Angel. "It's about leadership - and going in the right direction."
