About the Green IT Video

Coming in 2009! NASCIO's Green IT Video Working Group will be producing a short persuasional DVD to raise awareness among state policy officials such as Governors, legislators and appointed officials about the critical role that IT can play in implementing green initiatives in the states. This video will highlight the ways in which states are already incorporating green efforts into their IT strategic plans, and how state CIOs are helping to lead the way - and why CIO involvement is critical. This video project is a collaborative effort between NASCIO’s state and corporate members, and is being sponsored by the following companies: Adobe Systems, BDNA, CGI, Citrix Systems, HP, Intel, Microsoft, Symantec, Unisys and Verizon Business.

Green IT in Enterprise Practices: The Essential Role of the State CIO
May 2008
Green IT has become one of the fastest-growing trends in IT today, across all sectors and levels of government. Examining the ways in which state CIOs can become involved in shaping and promoting green IT practices and policies, this brief explores the critical role that state CIOs play in reducing their state’s carbon footprint. Featuring examples of successful green IT initiatives in state enterprise practices today, this brief highlights the many ways in which states are managing their IT hardware as well as utilizing technology to reduce their carbon footprint. With the states taking the lead in many aspects of green efforts nationwide, state CIOs have an opportunity to move the green benefits of an initiative to the forefront of strategic thinking and project planning, and this brief provides several starting points from which state CIOs can begin on the path to incorporate green IT efforts into their enterprise practices.
