Jack Santos, CIO executive strategist with the advisory firm Burton Group, in a post on the business-tech pub Baseline’s website, writes:
We are embarking on the greatest period of innovation the world has known. What does this mean for IT? Consolidated and more-efficient data centers (virtualized storage, processors, desktops and cloud computing), smart-grid energy-use alternatives and a push toward Internet-based work-anywhere options (which affect employment).No doubt IT will play a significant role in helping companies reduce their carbon footprints, as I opined in this video and a CIO Insight Editor's Note.As economic incentives and energy policies kick in, business will quickly begin to take advantage of credits or incentives to think differently about its energy use. This will continue to put pressure on wireless and mobility options, new technologies in unified communications and innovations such as tele-presence video systems. IT is center stage in these innovations.
