Globally, nine Symantec sites were LEED-certified and ten Symantec buildings obtained ENERGY STAR ratings in the past year. Symantec also joined the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Climate Leaders program to help us better measure and track our GHG emissions.
The program also provides remote access to non-IBM software that runs on the mainframe, allowing professors to demonstrate more software applications for System z. Additionally, schools no longer need to maintain enterprise systems environments on campus to expose students to commercial systems like the IBM mainframe.
Once certified they will begin to teach students about how analytics can be applied to their topic of study. The learning will involve access to predictive analytics technology and will focus on how to act on the results the analytics technology uncovers. I have been using IBM predictive analytics technology in a number of programs at Indian Institute of Management Calcutta.
