Data assessment and architecture as preparation for Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability

ESG reporting rules will require new data and better data intelligence. The quality of the outcome will depend on the data readiness of our customer's data. This needs to be assessed before the implementation of Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability. Delaware’s pragmatic data approach on sustainability is a hands-on method that will evaluate your data maturity and propose an IT infrastructure that will provide the sustainability insights you need to take impactful actions and makes sustainability reporting less time-consuming. During this approach delaware organizes co-creation workshops, including experts in both sustainability and data science.
