Green IT Trends: Take a proactive approach to Green Compliance

Robert Hodges July 09, 2009 Post a Comment

There is no doubt that Green IT is quickly becoming a necessity. With many organizations in both the public and private sectors (over 86%)* focusing on energy reduction, it’s only a matter of time until recommendations become Green Compliance requirements.

A recent study* by Applied Research showed that 30% of organizations surveyed had already implemented a strategy, and 67% were in the discussion or trial stages for developing one.

Be proactive and look for ways to implement Green IT initiatives that can help you cut cost and save energy.

Several areas to consider include hardware (Green IT can help you save on cooling costs and data center electricity), power management products, and services like SaaS, Virtualization, and Web-Based Training.

A web-based training solution can help you reduce carbon and energy use as well as provide an increased ROI. Instead of a conference room, where energy is used for a projector, multiple computers, and additional cooling, a web-based alternative can provide a green solution that allows for on-demand training, just-in-time answers to quick questions, and faster paced learning.

In addition, an on-demand solution with knowledgebase articles and integrated helpdesk support can reduce the amount of time your helpdesk and IT staff spend answering common questions, and increase their performance on critical tasks and initiatives.
