Just Enough Governance for Notes Blog

I read an article in TechRepublic this morning reporting on the “top four: trends in IT" from Interop Las Vegas 2008. Other than being a little surprised about the focus (still!) on reducing costs and little mention of security or compliance, the top four trends were not too surprising.

Top Four Trends:

• Holistic manageability
• Supporting decentralized workforce
• Data center consolidation and centralization
• Green IT and “greenwashing”

I’ll let you read the article to understand what the author meant by each of these topics. But looking at the list, I can easily see where Teamstudio products and services help to address these trends albeit for the Lotus Notes environment. That is with the exception of Green IT. I could use a little help on this one.

What can Teamstudio do to help you with your Green IT initiatives? One of the services we provide--and one of our most in-demand--is Asset Analysis for Server Consolidation. We will ensure that your used application stays out of the landfill! Seriously, fewer servers means lower energy cost, but our role is indirect at best. Are there other things we do or can do to help you with your “green” initiatives?
