The video of the latest event - The Future of IT: Transitioning to Cloud Model - highlights some of the CIO Councils many accomplishments.
Date : 10th, February 2010
Location: St. Regis Hotel
Even though majority of CIO Offices have been committed to Modernization of IT and billions are being spent over the years, still most Enterprises consist of archaic, redundant and carbon costly infrastructures, legacy applications and cumbersome processes. Not only the continued existence of legacy infrastructure and applications makes business transactions inefficient and costly, but, also it prevents the business from reaching its potential in addressing the new market opportunities. Not to mention, the unintended damage to the environment and rapidly growing carbon foot-print consequences. The time for risk adverse behaviour is over, without radical changes in massively contracted timelines no impact on carbon emission will occur at the levels needed to address the climate change issues or the design of Green Enterprise.
CIO Offices has a wonderful opportunity to ‘Do Better by Doing Good’; by modernizing IT Infrastructure, Greening Data-Centers, Virtualization of HW, Migration of Legacy Applications and Data to Cloud, Adoption of HW Life Cycle Obsolesce Strategies, and Re-engineering Processes to Simplify Business Transactions. IT is the key to this change and its stewards need to step up to the challenge and become custodians and drivers of change. They have the data, the keys, and the power to drive the innovative movement toward a greener and cost controlled model. By applying rapid development principles and applying change without constraint, huge efficiencies can be achieved in the timelines required. How do we measure the carbon cost per transaction, what are the myths and truths of supposed carbon reduction within an enterprise? Where and what changes can be orchestrated and deployed to ensure; a fully self sustainable, carbon negative, measurable and accountable enterprise? CIO Council, a CTO Forum sub-platform, gathers a distinguished group of Chief Information Officers, Chief Operating Officers, Chief Enterprise Architects and Chief Executive Officers, Academicians, and Business Strategists from F500 firms to host an honest discussion about the Climate Change Challenges and Strategies for Designing the Green Enterprise.
