Claim To Fame:
Digital3rd is a UK based IT training provider specialising in the delivery of highly capable software, data and infrastructure apprentices to its local business community in the West Midlands.
Following a successful bid to provide an approved Pearson Examination Centre for Birmingham, the company was looking for a new technology provider to support the installation of a new IT training and testing suite.
As a business dedicated to developing the next generation of technical talent, one of Digital Native’s primary objectives was to ensure that they had the very latest technology. The team were equally passionate about running their business in an energy efficient, sustainable way.

Main benefits & Achieved Results :
Digital3rd is expected to make a saving of 75% on energy consumption of their computing equipment, which over 5 years will amount to around £1,324.
Additional savings were also made as no electrical sockets were required for the ELe® equipment. This saved the company an extra £1,000 and many hours of potential downtime.
Once installed, the team at Digital3rd found that the flexibility to easily move and re-position the ELe® computers presented a real benefit in how they could use the suite to meet their changing requirements.
As part of the installation, ELe® engineers were able to train the apprentices in how to install, set up and support the new PC’s providing them with a valuable learning experience.
As ELe®’s DC based equipment has no moving parts, the quiet running of the machines was a welcome additional benefit. The noise levels at the examination centre are now near silent, with no fans to disturb the candidates sitting their exams.
Presentation of the initiative:
As a business keen to promote its environmental and sustainability practices, ELe®’s low carbon computer technology has enabled the company to make a positive contribution to Birmingham’s vision as a leading green city. Digital3rd is now using this project to launch a wider campaign to promote this innovative solution to other locations for Pearson Examination Centres and wider projects.
