Green information technology (IT) can be one of the world’s strongest assets in achieving and sustaining a prosperous, low-carbon economy

a Low-Carbon Economy, 2008

To reduce carbon emissions by 26% by 2020, based on business-as-usual levels.
With enhanced international assistance, Indonesia offered an increased reduction of 41% by 2020, based on business-as-usual levels

- IT infrastructure typically accounts for more than 20% of the energy used in an office building, with up to 70% attributed to IT in some offices (especially with a large data centre)
- IT-related electricity operating costs (and emissions) can easily be cut by 15% (just by doing simple things) or more than 50% (by deployment of more energy efficient systems)
- It’s about basic process improvements to efficiency (including change in organisationalbehaviour use or culture) AND judicious deployment of energy-efficient products
The Business Case for Green IT
9
Why A Framework?
• There is no clear definition of Green IT– It means different things to different
people
• There are many components to Green IT– No standardised way of representing them
• A Framework provides a consistent structure– A reference point for further analysis
10
The Evolution of the Framework
• Separate and independent work by Connection Research, RMIT University (2008) & applied work at Aust. National University (2009- )
• Similar approaches, similar methodology – agreement to combine into a single framework and methodology
• Subsequent refinement through input from many users, vendors, consultants, academics

How it Works
• Each Pillar (and each component within each pillar) is affected by the five actions
• We can measure, via a survey, the extent to which an organisation is enacting each action in each component of each pillar
• We can then quantify each of these and create and Index

The Measurement Methodology –Green IT Capability Maturity Model
22
The Framework “Package”
• Survey for benchmarking
• Executive and IT Technical Training
• Organisational Certification –ComputersOFF
• Individual Certification -CompTIA
23
The Online Survey• 30-40 minutes• Questions on each aspect of the
Framework• All quantified according to the
Capability Maturity Model• Non-technical – policies,
implementation, practices, etc.
24
The Benchmarking Methodology
• All data collected for all respondents– Quantified and normalised
• Each response applied to the appropriate Pillar of the Framework– plus the “Metrics” action
• Allows for the creation of five Indexes– Weighted average of all responses to that
Pillar, expressed as 0-100
25
The Green IT Readiness Index (GrITx)
• Overall Index (0-100) comprising fivesub-indexes
• Allows for benchmarking between industries, countries, and for a single organisation over time
• A unique tool for quantifying Green IT maturity (or “readiness”)

The Green IT Executive Training
Ideal for Top-Executives / IT / Facility professionals who have decision making authority over a company's IT infrastructureIdeal for IT / Facility professionals who work in implementing green IT initiatives such as IT managers, data center or facilities/operations managers, IT technicians, and system or network administrators
Courses not only teach organisations how they can minimisethe emissions caused by their IT systems but also how IT can be used as an enabler
Strata Green IT Certificate

Organisational Certification
Certification program is designed to easily identify and recognise
those organisations who commit themselves to reducing their impact on the environment, through their energy-efficient and green IT initiatives.
32
Closing Words - Go Green and Realise the Cost Savings!
• Green IT including Energy Efficiency is a Competitiveness Issue
• Make a commitment to action
• The Green IT Framework is a“tried and tested” tool for quantifying Green IT maturity (or “readiness”)
