Our Offer
Professor Colin Pattinson is the leader of a consultancy and research group at Leeds Beckett University which is addressing the relationship between IT systems and the environment. There are two main strands to this area of work:
- Understanding (and improving) the efficient operation of the systems themselves
- Application of IT to the control and management of other processes, with the aim of improving the efficiency of those processes.
We give consultancy, in the following specialist areas:
- Analysis of existing operations
- Strategy and development of action plans
- Software modelling & simulation tools to advise on the sustainability of alternative IT systems
Professor Pattinson has been a committee member of the "Green IT Specialist Group" of BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, since that group was formed in 2010, and has contributed to workshops and document reviews in that capacity. He is also involved with sustainable IT teaching and research project work in three current Europe-wide projects.
