Global Technology Leaders Join Delphix in Founding Nonprofit\u00a0to Advance Sustainability<\/h4>\n

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., March 08, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Today, a think tank of global technology leaders and\u00a0Delphix<\/u><\/a>, the industry leader for DevOps test data management, announced the formation of\u00a0SustainableIT.org<\/u><\/a>, a nonprofit organization focused on advancing global sustainability through technology leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cSustainability is the megatrend of the century,\u201d said Jedidiah Yueh, Founding Director of SustainableIT.org and Delphix Founder and CEO. \u201cFor too long, sustainability has been a problem for someone else to solve. Today, we\u2019re joining forces with technology leaders from the world\u2019s largest organizations to make sustainability our collective problem to solve.\u201d<\/p>\n

Over the next decade technology systems will dramatically increase energy consumption and related environmental and carbon impact. And digital transformation programs are increasingly putting consumer data privacy at risk, a major governance concern.<\/p>\n

SustainableIT.org will unite IT leaders and experts from around the world to define best practices and standard metrics for all three pillars of sustainability in order to drive transparency and progress toward a sustainable future.<\/p>\n

\u201cIT leaders and teams want to have more of an impact on sustainability initiatives. Launching\u00a0SustainableIT.org<\/u><\/a>\u00a0represents an important moment in time for empowering IT to fulfill its promise\u2014not just innovating for the business and our customers but to help save the world,\u201d said Brian Kirkland, Choice Hotels CIO.<\/p>\n

SustainableIT.org is a nonprofit governed by global technology leaders with the support of partners and the technical advisor, Delphix. The founding board of directors includes:<\/p>\n
