Carahsoft is committed to electronic order processing. In fact, one of the ways Carahsoft exchanges information is through the use of the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) standard. EDI is a document standard which acts as common interface between two or more computer applications. Carahsoft has been using EDI for more than five years and has it running with any of our vendors that have requested it. It takes approximately two to eight weeks to set up a new EDI interface so that Carahsoft can perform strict quality testing to ensure accuracy. The large vendors that we exchange orders with using EDI include VMware, Red Hat, Adobe, and Symantec. Currently 70 - 90% of all Carahsoft orders are processed using EDI. Describe your company's Customer Service Department (hours of operation, number of service centers, etc.) Carahsoft's standard business hours are 8:30 am — 5:30 pm EST Monday -Friday, with representatives working outside of these hours to help cover different time zones. Carahsoft strives to have representatives available for all customers during all business hours. If a customer contacts Carahsoft outside of these hours, Carahsoft will respond to any missed calls, voicemails, or E-mails at the earliest appropriate time. Green Initiatives As our business grows, we want to make sure we minimize our impact on the Earth's climate. We are taking every step we can to implement innovative and responsible environmental practices throughout NCPA to reduce our carbon footprint, reduce waste, energy conservation, ensure efficient computing, and much more. To that effort we ask respondents to provide their companies environmental policy and/or green initiative. carahsoft SOLICITATION # 28-18 Environmental Strategy: Carahsoft measures the success of our recycle programs by tracking the amount of recycle material that leaves the building. This amount should never go down, but only up. We also carefully monitor our electricity bills to ensure there are no spikes in usage. Initiatives: 1. Carahsoft has implemented VMware internally which moves our servers to a virtualized cloud environment thus eliminated the need for physically servers as we've grown in size. This has drastically reduced our server footprint allowing us to save thousands of dollars annually on heating and cooling of our data center. If we do not use VMware, we would have over 20 servers instead of the two that we actually have. This also allows us to reduce our energy consumption, minimize the amount of greenhouse gas omitted into the atmosphere. 2. Carahsoft also uses only Energy Star compliant hardware which substantially uses less electricity when items are not in use and protecting the climate. As shown in the EPA chart below, Energy Star compliance has brought significant energy savings and emissions savings to businesses that use compliant products. ,R= 200a 2001 2002 2r03 20r4 M M 2a07 20n 2m 29ra 2011 M12 2013 Energy a8mn3f 200a 201 2002 20a3 20D1 205 20H 2a0T 2009 2M9 2010 MIT 2ar2 gala liHa E,hL rrtSa0nps 3.

Cara so t 15 SOLICITATION # 28-18 4. Carahsoft utilizes email blasts instead of sending marketing material to cut down on the amount of paper products and shipping that mailing would entail. For example, in January 2015, Carahsoft sent out 105 email blasts. 5. Carahsoft's Proposal Department promotes the recycling of paper, bottles and aluminum cans by providing blue recycle bins in all common areas for each type of recycling material. 6. Carahsoft uses lights in the office on a timer to ensure that all lights are off in the building when employees are not working. Additionally, the bathroom lights are motion detected so the lights are not on when no one is using it, which reduces the use of electricity. On the newer side of the building, we utilize paperless hand dryers to cut down on our use of paper products. 7. Carahsoft has created a Carpool Incentive program to encourage employees to carpool to cut down on fuel consumption and emissions. Employees who carpool with at least two other Carahsoft employees are issued carpool parking permits and may park in reserved preferential parking. Currently, a quarter of Carahsoft's staff carpools each day into the office. 8. Carahsoft enforces a non-smoking initiative both within our office and in the surrounding environment. Carahsoft also encourages employees to engage in a smoke -free, healthy lifestyle.
