AUTOMACC INTEGRATION ASSURES McKINSEY DATA SUSTAINABILITY
The duo (Tam and Hannon) explored with attendees, AutoMACC integration, pivotal to sustainable data control. AutoMACC streamlines data management, ensuring organizations can operate and optimize their offering, increasing efficiency for their environmental impact efforts and facilitating rapid decision making on climate goals.
The McKinsey team have built genuine value by reaching sustainability objectives that would have been impossible without leveraging high levels of technology through new capabilities, and a robust culture of innovation. In turn, the design of respective R&D programs delivers a high potential for enterprises to decarbonize faster and more cost effectively.
Accelerating decarbonization by optimizing automatic data ingestion via AutoMACC avoids the historic manual, slow process with results indicating the reduction time of data output retrieval by 90%, thanks to a one-time manual update and live feeds that produce up to date results with an update feature powered by AWS Sustainability Data Fabric (SDF).
