About Major European ISP
With our expertise in sustainable IT and supply chain solutions, we were able to provide one of Europe’s largest ISPs with a tailored approach that met their tight project timelines and sustainability targets. By using remanufactured equipment and data-driven insights from our platform, we offered a solution that reduced lead times, lowered carbon emissions, and optimised costs.
The challenge
One of Europe’s leading ISPs was facing a significant challenge: a 140-day lead time for essential IT equipment that risked delaying a critical project. This put pressure on the company to find a swift, reliable solution that aligned with their commitment to sustainability and cost-efficiency.
What we did
Using our Circularity First Operating System (CFOS), we provided detailed insights into the carbon impact of various equipment options. CFOS allowed the ISP to make data-driven decisions about their project, showing carbon savings and cost benefits through the use of remanufactured equipment. By using Cisco Refresh we secured the necessary remanufactured equipment with a huge reduction in lead times, ensuring both quality and reliability were maintained.
The results
The shift to remanufactured solutions led to much improved outcomes:
- Carbon footprint: the ISP managed to reduce its carbon emissions by 73%, aligning with their sustainability goals and reinforcing their leadership in responsible business practices.
- Cost reduction: a 20% decrease in costs showcased the financial benefits of sustainable technology, allowing the company to allocate resources more effectively.
- Lead time: the most immediate advantage was the reduction in lead time, from 140 days to just 14 days, keeping the project on track and avoiding potential service disruptions.
