Through rigorous research, DASCIN provides valuable insights into the latest data trends and methodologies, while its certification programs equip individuals with the skills needed to make informed decisions in today’s data-driven world.

DASCIN offers a comprehensive suite of certification programs through three distinct frameworks: the Enterprise Big Data Framework (EBDF®) for data science and AI, the Service Automation Framework (SAF®) for automation and digital transformation, and the Green IT Framework (GITF®) for sustainable IT practices. Together, these frameworks provide a holistic approach to advancing expertise in data science, AI automation, and environmentally responsible IT strategies, ensuring that modern enterprises have the skills required to thrive in today’s modern economy.

DASCIN has partnered with APMG to deliver world-class, vendor-independent certifications that empower professionals with globally recognized skills. This collaboration ensures that all certifications uphold the highest standards of quality, credibility, and industry relevance. By integrating DASCIN’s deep expertise in data science, automation, and sustainable IT with APMG’s rigorous accreditation process, these certification programs offer practical, industry-relevant knowledge applicable across various sectors. Together, DASCIN and APMG are committed to building a highly skilled workforce capable of leveraging data, AI, and automation for innovation, efficiency, and strategic growth.

The Green IT Framework (GITF®) is the only comprehensive, vendor-neutral methodology available today that guides organizations in implementing sustainable and energy-efficient IT operations. As businesses face increasing pressure to reduce their environmental impact, GITF provides a structured, practical approach to integrating sustainability into IT strategies, ensuring long-term efficiency, cost savings, and regulatory compliance.

By adopting GITF, organizations can take a leadership role in responsible technology management, aligning sustainability goals with business objectives while driving innovation, operational excellence, and corporate social responsibility.

The Green IT Framework (GITF) Certification Program, developed in collaboration with APMG International, is the only structured learning path available today that guides professionals and organizations in implementing sustainable and energy-efficient IT practices. As businesses strive to balance digital transformation with environmental responsibility, GITF provides a comprehensive, vendor-neutral methodology to integrate sustainability into IT operations while ensuring long-term efficiency, cost savings, and compliance with environmental regulations.

The framework covers key areas such as energy-efficient infrastructure, cloud sustainability, e-waste management, and IT governance, equipping professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to reduce the environmental footprint of IT systems and drive sustainable innovation.
