Description
Synertel is a converged communications and IT solution provider, offering telephone systems, computer networks, hosted email, backups, spam control and other cloud computing applications, network security, cabling, video surveillance, and green computing initiatives to California businesses
Synertel applied for San Francisco Green Business certification in early 2007. The year long process began with a 150 item assessment covering resource usage (water, paper, energy, recycling, commuting options, etc.), and continuing with multiple onsite inspections and meetings until the certification team was satisfied that Synertel had gone as far as possible! In the process, Synertel's existing green accomplishments were validated (energy efficient lighting, double-sided printing, motion sensitive lighting controls, use of remote access whenever possible to avoid truck rolls, environmentally responsible decommissioning of old systems, bicycle parking, discount commuter tickets, etc.). Building on that, the SF Department of the Environment helped us select less harmful cleaning products and install low flow bathroom fixtures. Synertel CEO Ben Stiegler explained : "For us, being 'green' means not only reducing our own carbon footprint, but also multiplying that effect by enabling our customers to work as effective parts of their organizations safely and securely from anywhere. These days, with fuel costs soaring and growing awareness of climate damage due to CO2 buildup, everyone is interested in working more effectively, and reducing travel costs and downtime. We're helping more clients every month to leverage the power of IP Telephony, video conferencing, collaboration, and remote network access." "Synertel is proud to offer top-rated solutions from manufacturers like Toshiba, Sonicwall, Rhub, & Polycom that help our clients achieve these goals while respecting the environment and preserving our planet for future generations."
