The concept of "green IT" has been gaining ground in organizational
operations for years. Recent rapid shifts in energy prices, however,
have prompted renewed and more urgent attention to the topic.
Green
IT - while easy to summarize - is often hard to do well. Most key
decisions around purchasing, use and disposal of IT equipment have
life-cycle cost and environmental consequences. But how does an
organization - large or small - move beyond eco-buzzwords
(carbon-neutral, carbon footprint?) to create and implement green-IT
strategy across the enterprise?
Tydas recognizes that developing
organization-wide policies requires careful planning and follow-through.
We can help in ways that are specific to your organizational needs -
and cut your costs as well.
We work with you to:
Assess your business needs and recommend ways to embrace or extend green IT initiatives in ways you can measure.
Define infrastructure and manage IT to minimize energy use.
Assess IT products for environmental impact and compliance.
Plan IT equipment recycling and disposal.
Train staff to cultivate green IT awareness.
Tydas consultants operate from the premise that all organizations
are unique, with different needs, expectations, and goals. We work with
organizations to understand their operations and culture before making
recommendations on any new approach to technology. And we recognize that
green IT, like other corporate policies, also requires that kind of
individualized approach.
