Eco-Efficient IT

Innovation and strategy in the carbon-contained, energy-aware economy

Welcome to The 451 Group's Eco-Efficient IT Research Service. Over the next three decades, the worlds of business and technology will undergo a startling transformation. Energy will become more expensive and, for many, more difficult to source. And IT will be required not only to reduce its own carbon footprint, but to monitor and help reduce the footprint of all other business activities.

The 451 Group believes this eco-imperative is an important, complex and disruptive development that will affect most areas of IT. It will force strategists at supplier and user companies not only to focus deeply on energy efficiency, but to move beyond their traditional competencies and understand developments in energy supply, compliance, carbon trading and facilities management.

The 451 Group's Eco-Efficient IT Research Service tracks and analyzes the key developments in this area, from the Kyoto Protocol to datacenter effectiveness, from electricity prices to telepresence. We do this with an international perspective, and according to the four key drivers in our ECCO model: Economics (financial), Compliance (legal and government policy), CSER (corporate social and environmental responsibility) and Operations (practical and operational IT issues).

The service consists of daily and weekly reports, strategic advice and major quarterly reports.
