Why Green IT is Critical for the Sustainable Future of your Company

This paper explains why green IT is critical for the sustainable future of your company. The creation of a net zero emission IT organization requires a strategic and organizational change that will define the company's entire value chain from a sustainable standpoint: from the identification of IT KPIs to the definition of governance; from the design of more efficient IT solutions to the development of their management models; from the procurement of new applications, hardware, and services to the decommissioning and disposal of obsolete ones. Where governments will foster political actions, companies will have to rethink their business practices. To accomplish the set goals, an immense shift along the entire IT value chain is required.
