GoGreen with Webroot SaaS
Webroot has always made green business practices a priority. Now the company is introducing a new program to help its enterprise customers make environmentally friendly decisions as well.
Webroot makes Green IT easy for security professionals by introducing a new program to help companies Go Green with Security IT.
Webroot believes that SaaS (Software as a Service) is the first truly sustainable IT security solution. With no hardware or software to deploy, SaaS takes a multi-tenant approach that allows companies to share server space and equipment while Webroot provides online protection in the cloud.
Environmental Benefits:
-SaaS uses less energy than on-premise security solutions.
Because data centers are shared, it reduces the high energy costs of companies running their own in-house appliances.
-Toxins and e-waste are reduced.
Software, hardware and appliances are built to have limited lifecycles that require repeated disposal and replacement. SaaS employs a service approach that is fully sustainable.
-Outdated hardware will be recycled.
Webroot has partnered with Guaranteed Recycling Experts (GRX) to provide customers with free recycling of outdated appliances and hardware.
-Even greater energy conservation is underway.
Webroot has committed to off-setting 100 percent of the energy consumed by its data centers, and is currently exploring solutions such as clean, renewable wind-power.
Business Benefits:
-A lower total cost of ownership.
Whether companies want to invest the cost-savings in developing their own green practices or pursuing other growth opportunities, the reduced TCO is a win-win.
-Better security – for today and tomorrow.
As a service solution provided by security experts, SaaS is a powerful, flexible model that is built to adapt to future needs.
-A stronger, more positive brand image.
Customers care about companies that care about the environment.ÿ In fact, a recent survey by Forrester found that 12% of customers would actually pay more for products made by an environmentally friendly company.
Webroot has always made Going Green an internal priority, and now with the Go Green program Webroot is working to reduce its carbon footprint and make a positive impact on the environment. Other green practices include:
-In-house recycling and composting.
This practice saves 3,843 gallons of water and 2,454 kilowatt hours of energy a month.
-Eco-friendly consumer packaging.
Webroot product packaging uses 100% recycled paperboard and 35% less materials.
-Employee Eco-Passes.
Webroot supports this and other programs that encourage alternative transportation.
