Question N° 1 : Has it been defined within your company a sustainable development policy with its actions plan ?

Question N° 2 : Within this policy, has it been defined a "Green IT" strategy with solutions aiming to reduce significantly CO2 emissions level of your company ?

Question N° 3 : Within this strategy, ICT Management has it implemented solutions aiming to improve energy efficiency and to reduce Capex/Opex cost thru services intended to all employees ?

Question N° 4 : These solutions to reduce CO2 emissions and thus, to improve energy efficiency concerns your(s) Datacenter(s) ?

Question N° 5 : Does it concern only solutions of virtualization to reduce the number of servers ?

Question N° 6 : Did you implement solutions of free cooling and heat recycling in useful purposes, in cooperation with a public authority ?

Question N° 7 : Can you exactly estimate CO2 emissions earnings, as well as the ROI* linked to the decline of the energy bill, within your(s) Datacenter(s), following to the implementation of this kind of solutions ?

Question N° 8 : Did you implement solutions to improve energy efficiency within your workstations environment (PC, Linux WS, etc..), and to estimate financial earnings thru a regular traceability?

Question N° 9 : Among these solutions, did you implement a centralized solution of monitoring and administration concerning this workstations environment to reduce significantly CO2 emissions, by a real-time dynamic analysis of the computing power used, by workstation or group of workstations?

Question N° 10 : Let us return to more ‘basic' solutions: Within this environment, did you set up virtualization solutions, not only to reduce the number of workstations, but also to increase their life cycle ?

Question N° 11 : Concerning the equipments life cycle within your company, has it been defined a global strategy on the whole "IS/IT" chain (from datacenter to workstations thru network equipments) to substantially increase this cycle ?

Question N° 12 : Has it been implemented telecommunications systems to reduce employees travels and\or to reduce efficiently the number of kilometers yearly done on your vehicle fleet ?

Question N° 13 : Concerning your Lan/Wan Network, connecting your Datacenters to the whole workstations environment, has it been implemented solutions to reduce CO2 emissions?

Question N° 14 : By an optimal mutualization of the associated network infrastructure and the rationalization of their technologies without affecting manners and the security ?

Question N° 15 : By an optimization and a reduction of the network bandwidth by prioritizing end-users types of traffic ?

Question N° 16 : By a dynamic self-management of the power consumed at the level of your switchs and routers ?

Question N° 17 : By implementing a real global IP convergence policy, including your mobile communications, but also your videomonitoring for all your locations ?

Question N° 18 : Can you estimate the energy savings by your CO2 emissions reduction solutions on your Lan/Wan Network; and for each of them, the ROI* ?

Question N° 19 : Did you get earnings upper to 20 %, regarding to your previous Lan/Wan Network ?

Question N° 20 : These 20 questions should give you an overview of your Green IT maturity level, where real CO2 emissions reduction opportunities need to be implemented in order to reduce your operating costs.

We suggest to accompany you to measure earnings and CO2 savings, by a strongly technical approach, in a domain which is it just as much.
