SIN05: Best answer to Green IT.

To answer the question "What key questions should a CIO be able to answer prior to formulating a green strategy?"
Brian Murray: Technology Strategist says
"CIO's need to look at three levels:
(1) how can we become more sustainable operationally ... ie. improve current practices, reduce power consumption, reduce waste, improve/analyse supply chain etc. (2) how can we change what we do/architect strategically ... ie. look at SaaS, virtualised infrastructures, thin provisioning, thin clients, data centre design, etc. (3) how can IT help the business as a whole be more sustainable ... i.e. look at remote working, mobility, client independanct, end-user specific application delivery, utilise RFID in the supply chain, etc. "
Is he correct? What is your view? Let me know!
