IDC PeerScape: IT Management Best Practices for an Effective IT Sustainability Program

This IDC PeerScape presents the practices for developing an IT sustainability plan and keeping it on track. It examines the value of "cleaning house" before diving into an IT sustainability project, the guidance provided by industry-standard frameworks in determining the appropriate metrics to track, and how using technology can actually help reduce an organization's sustainability footprint."Succeeding with an IT sustainability effort requires understanding where to start, knowing what's material to the business, and having a diverse set of data available to measure and report accurate sustainability metrics while ensuring that you're on track with your company's overall sustainability goals," said Curtis Price, research vice president in IDC's Infrastructure Services group.
