Our service approach focuses on flexibility, enabling us to meet the identified need. We see our primary role is to get you established on the right road and therefore, able to manage the challenge going forward.
The client may wish to retain us in a management consultancy capacity or in an operational capacity to provide ICT standby power support. The 'where' is dependent on the client needs identified and agreed.
A business intent on managing their ICT contribution (both as a polluter and also as a tool for the business to reduce its carbon footprint) need to put into place the right framework of processes and policies. These should include the entire lifecycle from procurement to disposal.
Green IT is about better effective management of resources and reducing cost. We cannot live without IT but I think we all accept we can manage it more effectively.
Food for thought in terms of managing Green IT forward..
