1. Developing energy efficient software solutions: Technology can promote energy efficiency and environmental sustainability to a great extent when used effectively.

Its software minimizes the reliance on high-touch manual processes that need large teams of employees in physical global footprints, and thus minimizing the need for physical real estate assets. Another example of Amdocs’ energy efficient software solution is the provision of key digital business systems and automation technology to enable Transport for London to charge highly polluting vehicles for entering specific zones within the city, encouraging the use of cleaner cars, improving the UK capital’s air quality, and creating the world’s largest ULEZ.
