[03-December-2008]
 

TORONTO, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ - Zerofootprint has introduced a completely new system that enables business to both track and manage carbon emissions through a single solution. The new Enterprise Carbon Manager (ECM) utilizes Microsoft .NET technology to collect data from global emissions sources, provides real-time data feeds, secure global access, and ensures accurate reporting.

"It has become increasingly clear in the face of the climate change impacting all of us, that every major organization and municipality will have to find ways to reduce carbon emissions," said Dr. Ron Dembo, CEO and Founder of Zerofootprint. "Our Enterprise Carbon Manager provides a solution to this problem. It is a means to assemble and manage the complex data needed to calculate and audit carbon emissions."

ECM offers support for all organizations from small firms to large multi-nationals with operations around the world. The platform operates on the Software-as-a-Service model, which enables rapid development and reduces upfront IT and infrastructure costs. ECM addresses the key difficulties of Enterprise Carbon Management, the assembly, scrubbing, ordering, and auditing of data. The core engine has been operating in large-scale production environments for over five years.

"In order to be responsive to evolving market and environmental conditions, businesses are demanding innovative, flexible and customizable software solutions," said Mark Relph, Vice-President, Developer & Platform Group, Microsoft Canada Co. "At Microsoft we are pleased to support ISVs like Zerofootprint, who are leveraging the power of Microsoft .NET to create robust, scalable and secure solutions for their customers."

Zerofootprint is an organization dedicated to a mass reduction in global environmental impact. It provides software and services to individuals, governments, universities, and corporations to measure and manage their carbon footprint and engage employees and citizens worldwide in combating climate change.
