Green Government ICT strategy- what strategy?
As an IT recycling company, we were aware of this initiative, even though, as stated on Butlergroup's opinion wire (16 July 2009), many public sector IT managers remained unaware of the strategy. Quote:" In a report produced by Global Action Plan and commissioned by Cisco, the research identified that 60% of public sector IT managers were unaware of the Government’s greening ICT strategy, with 41% of national government respondents ignorant of the strategy even though it encompasses their area of responsibility. " Could an economic recovery result in the resurgance of the green -it agenda among the UK's Local authority IT managers? We hope so, it's something that needs addressing.
