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 is the practice of planning, running, and retiring technology with lower energy use and less waste. It includes sustainable IT, green computing, and choices that cut power demand across devices, data centers, cloud services, and software.
Typical work
- Reduce energy use in infrastructure and applications
- Review cloud setups for waste and overprovisioning
- Improve device lifecycle, repair, reuse, and disposal
- Support reporting on IT sustainability goals
Where specialists help
Companies bring in Green IT specialists when systems grow fast, bills rise, or sustainability targets become part of IT work. In Germany, this often matters for industrial groups, public sector teams, logistics, and firms with large office estates or mixed cloud environments.
Skills that matter
Strong professionals understand hardware, cloud architecture, software efficiency, and procurement decisions. They can compare local vs cloud trade-offs, identify idle resources, and work with operations, security, and facilities teams without slowing delivery.
Ecosystem and tools
Green IT work often touches energy monitoring, cloud cost controls, asset management, and lifecycle tracking. It may include server consolidation, virtualization, power settings, carbon-aware scheduling, and the reporting tools used to measure infrastructure impact.
What good experts deliver
Good experts do more than advise. They create practical actions, from workload tuning to procurement guidance and end-of-life plans. They also document changes clearly so internal teams can keep the savings and sustainability gains in place.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers to the questions that come up most around Green IT.
Green IT means making technology use less wasteful across the full lifecycle. That includes choosing efficient hardware, reducing unused cloud capacity, improving software behavior, and handling reuse or disposal responsibly. The work is practical, not abstract: it is about how IT systems are designed, run, and replaced.
Green IT is often used alongside sustainable IT and green computing. In practice, people use these terms for the same broad area: lowering the environmental impact of technology. Some teams use green computing for technical efficiency, while sustainable IT also includes procurement, governance, and reporting.
A strong Green IT specialist works on cloud rightsizing, server consolidation, device lifecycle planning, and application efficiency. They may also help set policies for energy-aware procurement, virtual desktop use, or asset refresh cycles. The best projects connect technical changes with clear operational rules.
Look for real experience across infrastructure, cloud, and software behavior, not just sustainability language. A credible green computing professional can explain trade-offs, show how they found waste, and describe the operational impact of their recommendations. Clear documentation and collaboration with IT operations are also good signs.
Green IT work often sits next to cloud architecture, systems operations, FinOps, procurement, and sustainability reporting. Security and compliance knowledge can also matter when changes affect data handling or vendor selection. The best specialists can work across these areas without turning the topic into a silo.
Not always. Many Green IT tasks can be done remotely if the specialist has access to system data, cloud accounts, and stakeholders who can review decisions. On-site time helps more when the work involves hardware rooms, workplace devices, or meetings with facilities and procurement teams in Germany.
A sustainable IT project needs the right mix of depth and scope. Smaller reviews may only need an expert who has done cloud cleanup or device lifecycle work before, while broader programs benefit from someone who has coordinated technical and operational changes across teams. The key is proven delivery, not a title.
For a Green IT engagement, prepare system inventories, cloud usage data, device lists, and any internal sustainability goals. It also helps to define who can approve changes in infrastructure, procurement, or operations. The clearer the starting point, the faster a specialist can make useful recommendations.
