In today’s global business environment, best practices no longer dictate the implementation of a standalone DMS to manage document problems in an organization. Strategic, forward thinking organizations understand that DMS will not stop document chaos when inaccurate documents are created and placed in the system. Intelledox provides the platform that organizations need to end document creation chaos in a cost effective manner. When organizations must resolve document creation productivity problems, the simplicity and proven technology of the Intelledox document creation platform is compelling.

This discussion paper explores some of the reasons for the rise of information management, and ways to improve the way that modern organisations manage information and knowledge, using the information technology tools that are available and increasingly pervasive.

Climate change has been a matter of concern of our society for a number of years, and in the recent times the increased attention on carbon emissions is forcing businesses to pay more attention to their environmental sustainability. Calculation of the carbon footprint is one of the ways to understand the emissions of the business and develop the emissions reduction strategy. While large businesses are already forced by the government and the marketplace to report on their emissions and strive to become carbon neutral, smaller businesses cannot neglect the climate change issues as well. Implementation of carbon emissions reduction strategy based on the carbon footprint can allow businesses to reduce environmental risks, become more sustainable and also reduce costs associated with energy consumption.

In this report, carbon footprint is calculated for a particular business – an Australian software company Intelledox Pty Ltd. Three main sources of emissions are included in the overall footprint. The methodology used in the research includes direct and indirect emissions of scopes 1, 2 and 3 according to the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. Recommendations are made suggesting the possible emissions reductions and future research directions.
