Running an organisation's IT efficiently should lead to a smaller carbon footprint for the whole business - even though this may not be a goal in itself for many CIOs. This special report focuses on the pressures IT directors face in trying to run an efficient function, examining issues ranging from the conflicting demands of compliance and energy savings, to maximising the use of servers and infrastructure. We look at the key topics and the steps organisations can take to ensure their IT is as efficient in business terms - and consequently in ecological terms - as possible.
