Sustainability in technology is an all-encompassing term and it can be difficult for organisations to define, measure and mitigate their IT estate's environmental impact. Scott Logic's Technology Director and Sustainable Tech Leader, Oliver Cronk, explains why it's so important for businesses to implement sustainable practices, both financially and reputationally.

We're proud to be a partner of FINOS on the annual State of Open Source in Financial Services report. Of the 2024 findings, our CTO and co-author of the report, Colin Eberhardt, says:    “It’s clear that the Financial Services industry can benefit from innovative technology such as Open Source Software, AI and Machine Learning and it is certainly encouraging to see this increasingly recognised by leaders in the sector. However, given the highly regulated nature of Financial Services and the understandable concerns around data security, many firms aren’t yet reaping the rewards." Read more below ⬇️⬇️⬇️
