For example: would it be in your company’s best interest to add ‘bots to the home page? If you’re not familiar with ‘bots, they are basically software traffic routers which pop up on the bottom of a user’s website navigation platform and offer to help them find what they’re looking for in the form of an instant message.

The best option when it comes to bots is to hybridize between human and bot care.

How much energy does your business consume during daily operations, what’s the peak energy conception, when is it at its lowest point, and what’s the average? You may find that your energy use makes you eligible for certain savings.

That said, technology does seem to be saving businesses large and small tens of thousands on a regular basis. Consider the kind of savings that come from a data center which is totally replaced by a cloud computing solution. Imagine the hardware and infrastructural savings which come through BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) solutions.
Overcoming Idiosyncrasies
Since every business is different, you may want to start by only switching tiny aspects of operation. Maybe a team of three goes BYOD for three months, and if that works, then a team of a hundred does—you get the idea.
What’s important here is that data collection technologically can both save you money, and help you identify points where resources can be conserved; all while giving your business the ability to provide the same level of service.
