Streamlined and Sustainable: The Dynamic Enterprise: The Role of ICT in Realizing the Business Benefits of Eco-Sustainability

Tags:
green it

Overview By focusing in a holistic way on organizational priorities that integrate the network, people, processes and knowledge, 'green' initiatives can marry eco-sustainability with core operational and strategic objectives. Applications such as teleworking, videoconferencing and others both reduce energy requirements (helping enterprises meet their environmental targets) and contribute to improved efficiency and effectiveness. Given that such solutions belong to the realm of Information and Communications Technology (ICT), IT departments have a central role to play in helping their organizations pursue their mission-critical objectives.
