Why Read This Report

Don't be fooled: Green IT is as much about the greenbacks as it is about reducing the environmental impact of operating IT and the business. In fact, financial motivation — not environmental motivation — is the driving force behind the pursuit of greener IT. So when asking yourself whether green IT has financial merits, the short answer is yes — but IT leadership must understand why and how this is achieved to invest time and capital wisely.
