Green IT: 70% Fuel Consumption and Emissions Eliminated by Multi-location Deployment Program, "Concert Close"

Online, December 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Concert Technologies, the leader in national rollouts and global deployments, today announced its Green IT Deployment Program, "Concert Close". This environmentally-friendly deployment program reduces the consumption of fuel and associated emissions of deployed services by up to 70% for multi-location projects, as compared to industry averages. "Concert Close" supports the president's initiatives of extending broadband to the nation's most rural areas and providing green-conscious industry services.

About the "Concert Close" Green IT Deployment Program
The "Concert Close" Green IT Deployment Program specifies the methodology by which nationwide and international multi-location projects are delivered with particular focus on reducing gas and energy consumption as well as the industry's carbon emissions footprint.

"According to the [Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)], light trucks account for 62% of greenhouse gas emissions," said Dan Murray, VP at Kentrox, in a recent Telephony Online article series by journalist Carol Wilson. "If a large wireless provider with a fleet of 1000 trucks was able to eliminate three truck rolls a week, that would represent a savings of 3.3 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions."

Addressing this and similar environmental concerns, "Concert Close" specifically limits travel distances for each truck roll by performing 90% of its national rollouts within 20 miles one-way for urban areas and 40 miles one-way for rural areas. This is primarily accomplished by employing the Local Multi-Service Green IT Deployment Method explained in our technology rollout video.

"The pivotal point of the "Concert Close" Green IT Deployment Program is limiting distances while providing multiple services," said Tom Suder, VP of Concert Technologies, who was recently interviewed for an ExecutiveBiz Green IT article. "The key is the number of truck rolls and the distance traveled of each of those truck rolls."

Leading the Way for the Green IT Deployment Industry
The "Concert Close" Green IT Deployment methodology can apply to any industry with a distribution force as long as they have the processes and resources in place to support it.

"Since the beginning, Concert Technologies has always used a "Concert Close" approach when deploying nationwide and global technology rollouts," said Suder. "We feel it is our responsibility as the technology rollout leader to also lead the way in Green IT deployments. This is why we've decided to bring it forward and explain how the Green IT industry as a whole can benefit from this approach and help our environment."
