As I see it, there has always been a push to increase the efficiency of processes across IT firms . With the cost pressure, there has been an increased focus across all the industries.

As I have mentioned in the last few paragraphs, cost savings lead to resource savings and this leads to Greener Earth. CSR concerns or cost concerns, the eventual result is a greener earth.

Green IT has been hugely driven cause of investor/stakeholder pressure or CSR derived out of criticism of IT firm for the amount of consumption of energy (primarily electricity).

There is a big push across all IT/ITES firms to make processes more efficient & be more sustainable. Could you comment more on that angle?

Thanks guys.. This area – Smart IT or Green IT is slated to be the next big thing for technology. Almost all the big firms are vying for the pie. It will be an interesting scene in the next few years….

Nice article indeed! First of all made me understand what their campaign is all about. Secondly IBM is one of the best research based companies in the computing space and since they are changing their strategy it means big changes are going on in this space as well.

Nice article – we are seeing so many of their ads on TV about a smarter planet, makes us wonder what others are doing
