Business value
Streamlined and automated data collection and mapping will enable complete and accurate data to be imported into Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability to calculate emissions. This will also create a framework to unlock mutual customers' data and help accelerate their journey to become more sustainable.
Feature details
This feature provides recommendations for data connections from a catalog of prebuilt connectors and operational data providers. The catalog includes business solutions, energy providers, cloud providers, travel tools, trading partners, systems telemetry, and Internet of Things (IoT).
The ecosystem includes provider solutions that can ingest and process data for all emission categories. Customers can connect to these solutions through the Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability product or through Microsoft AppSource or Azure Marketplace using metadata. This will eliminate manual data entry and ensure that updated and accurate data is available within Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability to provide current and accurate emissions information for our customers.
A detailed framework is available to solution providers to build connectors for Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability for a seamless deployment experience that includes listing and certification within our AppSource and Marketplace sites. Solution providers can also leverage the prototype connector that defines and documents the end-to-end flow.
