Sustainable Computing: It's Not Easy Being Green

Title:Sustainable Computing: It's Not Easy Being Green (ID: CSD5349)
Author(s):Mary K. Pratt (ComputerWorld, Inc.)

Abstract:

"CIO William Hill had an admirable, if unanticipated, return on investment when he overhauled the IT infrastructure for Dayton, Ohio: He helped the environment. Hill's strategy included replacing the old setup -- a disorganized mix of 80 archaic networked terminals and numerous ad hoc PCs of varying ages and operating systems -- with thin clients for 60% of the staff and PCs for the rest, strategically positioned for optimum use. Hill opted for thin clients for technological and cost reasons, but says he saw a corresponding drop in how much energy his organization uses -- a drop that saves the city between $60,000 and $90,000 annually."

Forrester: IT budgets to jump 7 percent in '05

Title:Forrester: IT budgets to jump 7 percent in '05 (ID: CSD3608)
Author(s):Matt Hines (CNET News.com)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2004)
Type:Articles, Papers, and Reports
Abstract:A survey by Forrester Research of 1,300 IT executives in North America predicts growth in IT spending of at least 7 percent in 2005. Forrester noted that respondents to its surveys frequently underestimate the amount of money they end up spending, leading analysts at the firm to believe increases might be even larger than estimated. Spending among those in the public sector--including government, health care, and education--is expected to increase the most, moving from spending decreases in 2004 to increases of 7 percent in 2005. Specific areas where Forrester predicts stronger spending for 2005 include software, including new applications or upgrades of existing ones, and regulatory compliance, as for such legislation as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
