John Davies of AMR Research to Host "Going Green" Strategy Webcast

How to Identify Sustainability Strategies That Deliver: Plucking Low-hanging Fruit Green Initiatives
 

Petaluma, CA — March 24, 2008 — HydroPoint Data Systems, Inc., provider of the market-leading WeatherTRAK smart water management solution, today announced that John Davies, vice president, Sustainability Peer Forum, AMR Research, and HydroPoint President and CEO Chris Spain will co-host a webcast on Thursday, April 17, 2008 entitled, “How to Identify Sustainability Strategies That Deliver: Plucking Low-hanging Fruit Green Initiatives.”

The webcast will address a pressing matter facing today’s business leaders. In light of rapidly dwindling natural resources and the threat of global warming, a growing number of executives seeks to “go green” to meet sustainability and cost-saving objectives. But frequently deluged with information about available solutions for achieving sustainable resource management, these executives are challenged to select strategies that can garner environmental and financial benefits within a one-to-two-year period.

Mr. Davies will explore a rapidly emergent sustainability strategy employed by executives at Coca-Cola, Google and other leading companies: smart water management. They’ve identified smart water management as a particularly appealing conservation strategy because it leverages existing technology infrastructure and delivers a powerful “green multiplier effect” – saving both water and energy, reducing carbon emissions and protecting local ecosystems. Further, these executives have discovered that the advantages to smart water management extend well beyond reduced water bills to lower operating costs and liability avoidance.

“It’s essential that business leaders identify and implement low-risk, quick-win green programs to avoid skepticism about the validity and feasibility of going green,” said Mr. Davies. He explained, “That’s because sustainability practices will enjoy mainstream adoption only when they are proven to fulfill their promises.”
