Discover the bottom-line benefits of sustainable IT. Organised by iQuest in conjunction with ICT Ireland and the Irish Software Association, this inaugural summit is devoted to the business benefits of Green IT.

Soaring energy prices have put the focus on Green IT’s ability to deliver reductions in energy costs. Green IT can deliver significant reductions in energy costs as well as enabling improved efficiencies across the enterprise. In fact, cost reduction is the primary driver for Green IT. Gartner is predicting that Green IT will be one of the top 10 technologies that will be strategic for most organisations in 2010. 

This one-day event will show you how adopting a Green IT strategy in your organisation unlock huge energy savings, drive operational efficiencies, as well as make a major contribution to your organisation's CSR credentials. Learn about implementing new initiatives that will improve efficiency, reduce carbon emissions and increase profitability.

Included in our speaker line-up are leading independent technology analysts - Tom Raftery, Lead Analyst, Energy & Sustainability with Redmonk & Jonathan Steel, CEO & head of Sustainability at Bathwick Group, UK. You’ll hear from experts in IBM, SAS Institute, CA, SAP and Sustainable Energy Ireland as well as the bottom-line impact of real-life examples of Green IT in action from end-users such as the Health Research Board and hyper energy-efficient data centre, CIX in Cork. Plus, Lakeland Diaries, winner of a 2010 European IT Excellence Awards for a virtualisation project that enabled the organisation to reduce costs, lower emissions and improve delivery times – you’ll hear this project case study presented at the Green IT Summit.
