View from the Hill

Richard Murray, our Technical Director, is the co-author of the ‘IT Governance’ paper being presented by Donnie Mapanao, Head of IT in Addax Petroleum’s Geneva headquarters.

As part of our commitment to environmental management, we monitor our energy use within the office.  Here are the latest graphs which show that we’ve been successful in reducing our gas use by over 20%.  However, we are getting slightly worse in terms of our electricity consumption.  To try to improve, we’ve put a number of ‘Switch It OFF!’ stickers from the Carbon Trust on items of equipment that we’ve noticed sometimes get left on overnight.  We’ve also invested in a remote controller that allows a number of electrical items to be disconnected from the mains supply in one go.  This simplifies end-of-day activities.

Hillside Software operates an associate book store at amazon.co.uk.  The shop includes many quality management, software engineering, information security and environmental management titles.
