As an innovative and progressive company, the iconic studio has consistently leveraged cutting-edge technology, relying on a complex IT infrastructure designed to support its unique creative processes. In parallel with its technological advancements, Aardman has integrated environmental responsibility and sustainability into its operations, guided by an Environmental and Sustainability Charter that sets out its targets and commitments across all business practices.</p> 613<p> </p> 614<p> </p> 615<h3>Challenge</h3> 616<p> </p> 617<p>Aardmanâs environmental and sustainability targets include minimising waste and making reduce, reuse, and recycle the standard operating procedure. Additionally, Aardman has a commitment to ensuring that environmental and climate change criteria are standard requirements in the procurement of goods and services.<br>â</p> 618<p>Therefore, when it came time to upgrade its network infrastructure with high-performing technologies, including all of the core and access switching, Aardmanâs IT team faced the challenge of finding products that would meet its rigorous standards for performance, reliability, and security - all while aligning the solution with the studioâs Environmental and Sustainability Charter.</p> 619<p> </p> 620<p> </p> 621<h3>Solution</h3> 622<p>â<br>To address this challenge, Aardman decided to leverage remanufactured equipment to replace its end-of-life network hardware. However, given the importance of network performance and reliability, Aardman needed a solution that would not involve the risks associated with out-of-warranty or unsupported products.</p> 623<p> </p> 624<p>Aardman selected TIEVA to partner with on this critical upgrade, to procure certified remanufactured products that meet the highest standards of quality and reliability. As a certified Cisco Partner, TIEVA was able to help Aardman procure products through Cisco Refresh, which provided the company with remanufactured products eligible for the same warranty and support options as
624new equipment.</p> 625<p> </p> 626<p>This partnership allowed Aardman to procure certified remanufactured products from Ciscoâs inventory at highly competitive prices. The products sourced included both end-of-sale items and products currently listed on Ciscoâs Global Price List. A key advantage of Cisco Refresh is the availability of in-stock products, ready to ship. This enabled Aardman to receive the necessary equipment quickly, minimising disruption to its operations.</p> 627<p> </p> 628<p>Aardman also took advantage of the Cisco Takeback and Reuse Program, recycling its old Cisco equipment by returning it to be reused or recycled. Ciscoâs program ensures that 99.9% of returned equipment is either reused or recycled, helping Aardman to meet its sustainability goals and ensuring responsible disposition of equipment.</p> 629<p> </p> 630<p> </p> 631<h3>Outcomes</h3> 632<p>â<br>Through the implementation of Cisco Refresh products, Aardman successfully upgraded its network infrastructure in alignment with its sustainability objectives. The studio maintained the high performance, reliability, and security of its IT operations while also achieving significant cost savings and reducing its environmental impact.<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">"Partnering with TIEVA and leveraging Cisco Refresh has enabled us to meet our sustainability goals without compromising on the quality or reliability of our network infrastructure. The ability to procure high-performing, remanufactured products with full support and warranty has been invaluable to our ongoing commitment to environmental responsibility."<br><br></span></p> 633<p data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Howard Arnault-Ham, <span style="font-size: 1.125rem; background-color: transparent;">Head of IT at Aardman.</span></p> 634<p> </p> 635<p>By partnering with TIEVA and procuring products through Cisco Refresh, Aardman has demonstrated the importance of engaging with a supply chain that prioritises sustainability. This approach supports Aardmanâs emissions target, ensuring that supplier environmental performance is always a key consideration. By embedding these practices into their IT procurement strategy, Aardman not only advances its sustainability objectives but also sets a benchmark for responsible sourcing in the creative industry.</p></span> 636</div> 637</div> 638 639 640 641<div style="display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: flex-start; gap: 20px; max-width: 1200px; width: 100%; margin: 0 auto; padding: 20px; flex-wrap: wrap;"> 642 643</div> 644 645 646 647 648</section> 649 650 <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_module_17379687686819" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><section class="pt-20 lg:pt-40"> 651 <div class="footer-cta"> 652 <div class="container md:grid grid-cols-4 lg:grid-cols-12 gap-4"> 653 <div class="footer-cta__text col-span-3 lg:col-span-5 flex flex-col items-start gap-10"> 654 <h2 class="text-3xl lg:text-5xl font-bold"><div id="hs_cos_wrapper_module_17379687686819_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_inline_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="inline_text" data-hs-cos-field="headline_text">Learn what TIEVA can do for you.</div></h2> 655 <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_module_17379687686819_" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_inline_rich_text" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="inline_rich_text" data-hs-cos-field="body_text"></div> 656 <a href="Contact%20us%20today!" class="button">Contact us today!</a> 657 </div> 658 <div class="footer-cta__image col-span-1 lg:col-span-4 lg:col-end-13"> 659 <div class="footer-cta__image-inner"> 660 <img src="https://4877059.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/4877059/63edf5fb6f3b7b57d75be4f5_Employee-smiling-1.png" alt="Employee smiling"> 661 </div> 662 </div> 663 </div> 664 </div> 665</section></div> 666 <div id="hs_cos_wrapper_module_173763979064912" class="hs_cos_wrapper hs_cos_wrapper_widget hs_cos_wrapper_type_module" style="" data-hs-cos-general-type="widget" data-hs-cos-type="module"><!-- 667 templateType: global_partial 668 label: Footer 669--> 670 671<footer class="site-footer bg-base-black text-base-white py-20"> 672 <div class="container flex flex-col gap-16 md:grid md:grid-cols-12 md:gap-4"> 673 <div class="md:col-span-4 flex flex-col gap-16"> 674 <div class="address flex flex-col gap-6"> 675 <p class="text-xl font-semibold">TIEVA Leeds</p> 676 <p>The Mill II, Holly Park Mills,<br> 677 Leeds, LS28 5QS</p> 678 <a href="tel:03330430393" class="underline">+44 (0) 333 043 0333</a> 679 </div> 680 <ul class="footer-links flex items-center gap-4"> 681 682 <li> 683 <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wearetieva/" class="text-xl" target="_blank">
