Harald K.
Last position:
Lecturer - Business Informatics & Business Administration at Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM)
As part of my work, I focus on three key areas that are essential for the innovation and future viability of business and society: business start-ups, digitalization and automation, and career planning and personal development.
One focus is on the challenges and opportunities of starting a business—especially academic start-ups as drivers of regional and national innovation. I teach skills for the entire start-up process: from idea creation and building viable business models to managing and scaling a company.
The topic of digitalization and automation covers technical, economic, and social dimensions. It includes basics of digitalization, automation technologies, IIoT and smart manufacturing, software and IT infrastructures, and application areas in various industries. I also analyze human-machine interaction, economic impacts, and future trends that have a lasting effect on companies.
In the area of career planning and personal development, I support future specialists and managers in developing their personal strengths, recognizing their entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial potential, and designing an individual market and career strategy. Topics such as personal branding, personal marketing, and strategic career planning are key to fostering long-term professional direction and proactive action.

About the technology
What Green IT covers
Green IT, also called sustainable IT or green computing, reduces the environmental impact of digital products, services and operations. It covers energy consumption, carbon emissions, materials, waste, procurement and the full lifecycle of hardware and software. The goal is efficient technology that supports business needs with fewer resources.
Where it is used
Companies apply Green IT across data centres, cloud estates, offices, software delivery and device fleets. Typical initiatives include:
- Measuring energy use and IT-related emissions
- Improving server, storage and network efficiency
- Extending hardware lifecycles and responsible disposal
- Designing software with lower resource demand
- Setting sustainable procurement requirements
Ecosystem and tooling
Green IT work combines cloud management, infrastructure monitoring, software engineering and environmental reporting. Specialists may use cloud carbon dashboards, power and capacity metrics, lifecycle assessment methods, asset-management systems and energy-aware architecture patterns. They also connect technical data with procurement, finance and sustainability reporting.
When companies need specialists
Freelance expertise is useful when a company needs a practical baseline, a reduction roadmap or independent validation of its sustainability claims. It can support cloud migrations, data-centre changes, workplace refreshes and software modernisation. In Germany, specialists may also need to coordinate remote delivery with local operations, suppliers and German-speaking stakeholders.
Skills that matter
Strong professionals understand both technology and environmental impact. They can analyse workloads, identify avoidable consumption, compare cloud and on-premises options, and turn measurements into decisions. Useful adjacent skills include FinOps, cloud architecture, DevOps, lifecycle assessment, sustainable procurement, reporting and change management.
What quality looks like
A capable Green IT specialist starts with a clear scope and a defensible measurement approach rather than broad sustainability claims. They separate direct energy savings from estimates, document assumptions and show how recommendations affect reliability, security, cost and emissions. The best deliverables include a prioritised action plan, practical owners, meaningful metrics and a way to verify progress.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Green IT.
Green IT is used to reduce the environmental impact of hardware, software, infrastructure and digital services. Projects may focus on energy efficiency, lower emissions, longer device lifecycles, responsible purchasing or more resource-efficient software.
Green IT is commonly used alongside sustainable IT and green computing. The terms overlap, although sustainable IT can place more emphasis on social and lifecycle issues, while green computing often focuses on efficient computing resources and equipment.
A strong Green IT freelancer often combines cloud architecture, FinOps, infrastructure monitoring and lifecycle assessment. Experience with procurement, sustainability reporting, software efficiency and organisational change can make recommendations easier to implement.
The right level depends on the scope. A focused measurement or optimisation task may need a specialist with a narrow technical focus, while a company-wide Green IT programme requires someone who can align infrastructure, procurement, finance and sustainability teams.
Green IT work is often suitable for remote collaboration because audits, data analysis and roadmaps use shared systems and documentation. On-site time can still help with facilities, hardware inventories or workshops, while German language skills may matter when local teams and suppliers are involved.
Green IT includes efficiency, but it considers more than infrastructure performance alone. Compare approaches by their measurement method, lifecycle coverage, operational risks, implementation effort and ability to connect energy or emissions improvements with business outcomes.
A capable Green IT specialist should define a baseline, explain data sources and identify the largest improvement opportunities. Useful deliverables include an emissions or energy assessment, prioritised initiatives, implementation guidance, ownership and a method for checking results.
Professionals working with Green IT should show how they distinguish measured results from assumptions. Strong evidence includes clear scopes, transparent calculations, relevant technical trade-offs, practical recommendations and experience turning sustainability targets into operational changes.
