Jalios Workplace Liberty – Label Program
Success story
How did Jalios assess the environmental impact of its “Jalios Workplace Liberty” web application?
We have been working with Greenspector since the beginning of our digital sobriety research. I contacted Thierry Leboucq about implementing measures for our solution. We learned a lot about the subject of digital sobriety. To be accompanied by an actor like Greenspector is to make sure that you don’t go down the wrong path or take shortcuts.

The situation
Jalios Workplace is a digital work environment suite (office automation, document management, collaborative space, Visio, instant messaging, etc.) and natively collaborative. The solution comes in 3 editions, including one for MS365, another for Google, and the 3rd, the Liberty edition, which is a sovereign alternative.
“What is the link with digital sobriety? Digital sovereignty is not limited to data hosting. It consists in having control of the entire digital chain, from hardware to software. Digital sobriety is a lever to approach this value chain in an innovative and much more sustainable way.” – Hoang-Anh Phan, Digital Sobriety Project Manager at Jalios
Jalios wanted to verify the carbon impact of using its Jalios Workplace Liberty web application.
The Challenge
Beyond internal sensitivities, the growing interest of our customers, and the desire to act in the face of climate emergency, the digital sobriety approach echoes one of the values at the heart of Jalios’ DNA: useful innovation. Jalios has been supporting its clients in their digital transformation for 20 years, and our solution uses digital to catalyze collective intelligence and enable better working together. For each new feature, we always ask ourselves the question “Why do it?” and the value delivered to the end-user. On the other hand, if the impact we can have remains limited internally, any action we take through our product will potentially have an impact on our 450 customers and their 1.8M users. – Hoang-Anh Phan, Digital Sobriety Project Manager at Jalios
The environmental impact of IT is far from trivial: pollution of water, soil, and atmosphere during the upstream and downstream phases of the equipment life cycle, greenhouse gas emissions throughout the life cycle (currently 3 to 4% of global emissions, and growing rapidly)…
From the seemingly innocuous gesture of the user on the smartphone to the data centres of the service provider, via network equipment, mobile applications and websites contribute to these environmental impacts.

The solution
Results
It is an essential step in our digital sobriety approach because having a quantitative benchmark is important, otherwise, we don’t know where we are going. Having achieved Bronze level with a score of 61/100, achieving Silver level is now a SMART objective that allows us to mobilize our energies internally.

Jalios Testimony
What are the strengths and weaknesses that characterize this level for your offer?
The score of 73/100 on performance shows that our R&D already applies good principles. Regarding mobile data and energy consumption, the lower scores show that we can seek optimizations. It also showed us that we had chosen to optimize hot loading and less cold loading: in fact, our users very often return to their Digital Workplace where all the communication information, collaborative tools, and access to other business applications.
Can you quote a subject from your action plan to reduce the environmental impact of your Digital Workplace offer?
Among the areas for improvement suggested by Greenspector following the measures, we have planned to look in more detail at network exchanges to limit them in a targeted manner. Images, scripts, etc. We can reduce their size and avoid loading them when it is not useful or only when it becomes useful (lazy loading).
Let’s improve your application’s sobriety!
