Green IT

Redefining Green IT

Not just an IT issue.

“We appointed Amicus ITS as our first Associate Company for IT, because its innovative approach focuses on the wider issue of making your business Green through the use of IT, rather than focusing on IT alone."

John Buckley,

Managing Director, Carbon Footprint Ltd

A compelling topic

• Energy costs are increasing
• Environmental policy is a growing customer requirement of suppliers
• Business shares the ethical responsibility to become greener
• Government initiatives actively support and look to enforce carbon reduction measures

The business challenge is adopting the approach which delivers a significant reduction in carbon emissions and yields a ‘Return on Green Investment’ (ROGI).

Return on Green Investment (ROGI)

• Direct cost-savings are achieved by reducing energy consumption, delivering an immediate and perpetual ROGI
• The crucial first step is to identify the key energy-consuming functions within the business, typically:
  • powering offices and equipment
  • transporting goods and people
  • the production of equipment and consumables

The Amicus ITS view

• Unified Communications solutions reduce commuting and B2B travel and increase effective communications throughout the business
• Energy-efficient thin-client devices, using virtual desktop infrastructure, reduce energy consumption, the corresponding overheads and increase service levels.
• Replacing paper with secure electronic messaging reduces transport overheads and improves the speed and availability of information.
