AQCLab has collaborated with the Alarcos Research Group (J. David Patón-Romero and Mario Piattini) of the University of Castilla-La Mancha and with the University of Bari (Maria Teresa Baldassarre) in the development of the work "Maturity model based on CMMI for governance and management of Green IT", published in the journal IET Software.
Due to the growing importance of sustainability for organisations around the world, in recent times different sustainable practices in the area of information technology have arisen in isolation, known as Green IT practices. This work presents a maturity model based on CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration), which establishes a framework that organises and establishes practices for implementing, assessing, and improving the Green IT in organisations in an efficient, gradual, and integrated way. This proposal has been validated by experts and through practical cases in order to demonstrate its usefulness when implementing, assessing, and improving the Green IT in organisations.
This study is intended to help organisations to gradually implement and improve through different levels of maturity, the governance and management of Green IT.
The product e-Comitia, developed by Ares has obtained the ISO/IEC 25000 certificate for Functional Suitability. Ares has participated in the certification as developer of the e-Comitia software product, AENOR as issuer of the certificate, and AQCLab as the evaluation laboratory, also providing support in the improvement of product quality in order to achieve the ISO/IEC 25000 certification.
e-Comitia is an online voting platform that allows you to manage elections, queries and surveys with all the technological guarantees for security and confidentiality. The product provides the following functionalities:
Functional Suitability evaluation allows to assure potential customers that the software product evaluated complies completely and correctly with its requirements specification, thus helping to improve customer confidence and satisfaction, and providing a differentiating element from its competition.
AQCLab has collaborated with the Alarcos Research Group (J. David Patón-Romero and Mario Piattini) of the University of Castilla-La Mancha and with the University of Bari (Maria Teresa Baldassarre) in the development of the work "Application of ISO 14000 to Information Technology Governance and Management", published in the journal Computer Standards & Interfaces of ScienceDirect, Volume 65.
The article presents a proposal for the implementation of Green IT initiatives within the framework of the ISO 14000 family of standards, bringing it closer to the area of Information Technology, which has traditionally not been taken into consideration and which is highly relevant for organizations concerned about sustainability.
It is an adequate and coherent proposal, validated by experts, which covers all areas related to Information Technologies. Thus, this proposal demonstrates the applicability of the ISO 14000 family of standards to IT by means of Green IT, presenting a complete framework that is useful in practice when implementing the governance and management of Green IT.
Thanks to this proposal, organizations have a standardized guide not only for the implementation of Green IT, but also for obtaining international and recognized certifications in this field.
AQCLab, Lucentia Labs, Grupo Alarcos and Lucentia Research Group got together at Torre Juana to show CDTI the evolution and progress made in the DQIoT project, which aims to develop a framework for Data Quality Management of IoT Products.
DQIoT is an EUREKA project financed by CDTI (Centro para el Desarrollo Tecnológico Industrial) which is being carried out by the consortium formed by AQCLab, Lucentia Labs, Grupo Alarcos and Lucentia Research Group together with GTOne and Myongji University.
IoT is a new industrial revolution in which machines can collaborate intelligently with each other for better results. This revolution relies on the growing capabilities of different physical devices that are capable of capturing and exchanging data. But product operations can fail if the data generated and exchanged does not have the right levels of quality. Therefore, organizations need to implement a number of data quality management activities to optimize these operations.
Faced with the limited supply of data quality management solutions for IoT solution environments, the consortium members have proposed the development of a framework for data quality management in the management of the service lifecycle of IoT products.
The product Olucaro Dashboard, developed by Sicaman-NT has obtained the ISO/IEC 25000 certificate for Functional Suitability. Sicaman-NT has participated in the certification as developer of the Olucaro Dashboard software product, AENOR as issuer of the certificate, and AQCLab as the evaluation laboratory, also providing support in the improvement of product quality in order to achieve the ISO/IEC 25000 certification.
Olucaro dashboard is a business dashboard management tool based on the "Balanced scorecard" methodology, with the objective of controlling an organization's processes (finance, commercial, operations, human resources...) based on defined objectives and indicators. It provides the following features:
Functional Suitability evaluation allows to assure potential customers that the software product evaluated complies completely and correctly with its requirements specification, thus helping to improve customer confidence and satisfaction, and providing a differentiating element from its competition.
