York, UK, 23rd January 2024 – HNR, a market-leading software solutions provider that helps businesses reduce carbon emissions and costs from their technology footprint, today announced major improvements to its analytics platform, HNR to ZERO. The award-winning solution, which enables data-heavy companies to optimise their technology operations to run a more sustainable and efficient business, now includes enhancements that further optimise the performance of their digital infrastructure.

With carbon accounting regulations becoming increasingly important for all types of organisations, HNR to ZERO is a first–in-market solution that empowers companies of all sizes to automate measurement, comply with sustainability reporting requirements and avoid heavy financial losses or legal penalties.

“Today more than ever, every business must consider the environmental impact of their digital operations, while increasing productivity and reducing costs.” states Kristan Bullett, CEO at HNR. “HNR to ZERO is a unique, best-in-class solution that captures and automatically analyses digital infrastructure usage at a highly granular level. It leverages machine learning to identify optimisations and savings on energy consumption, carbon footprint, cost and time. Based on our research, our target is to help our customers attain a 20% reduction in carbon emissions and a 30% reduction in costs over a 12-month period which we believe it’s highly achievable”.

The HNR to ZERO platform includes a range of FinOps and GreenOps baseline features such as capturing of activities across multiple sources and formats and tracking of metrics against targets and budgets. Recent enhancements bring additional value to HNR’s customers through advisories designed to optimise operations, remove duplicate efforts and automate workflow configuration for improved efficiency. These include:

• Heuristics-based Trend Analysis, to clearly articulate progress towards net-zero goals.
• Machine Learnt Anomaly Detections that help you understand how your usage changes over time and raises concerns as patterns change.
• What-if and Comparison Scenarios, allowing clarity of understanding based on the ever-changing media landscape.
