whitepaper IT's Role in Reducing Corporate Environmental Impact2009-01-12 Cisco Systems
  Environmental sustainability is climbing up the strategic agenda for most corporations. Green initiatives are driven by a combination of strategic goals like enhancing the brand, complying with regulation, and simply doing the right thing as a corporate citizen, and bottom-up motivations like saving money by cutting down on energy consumption.

To assist in gauging the demand for future products and services aimed at helping companies monitor and manage their sustainability initiatives, and in particular greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, Cisco commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a series of interviews with corporate IT and operations professionals. This study sought to illuminate the role of the IT organization in corporate sustainability. Download the Forrester report to see the results.

whitepaper The Role of IT Management Software in the Greening of IT2009-01-01 CA (Computer Associates)
  Going green represents a company's mission to support environmental sustainability. Whether it's socially inspired or economically driven - it simply makes good business sense. In most cases the initial driver of a Green IT strategy is the cost savings that can be attained through increased efficiencies in energy usage. Achieving sustainability benefits represents a secondary, albeit positive by-product. While advancements in energy efficient IT hardware promote this cause along with services to implement best practices, IT management software represents a powerful yet cost-effective solution to implement unified and consistent Green IT goals.
