Informatics

Vision

informatics overview

Informatics underpins the realisation of the benefits and outcomes of Green IT. Measurement and measurement standards are core to the value of informatics. Standards will guide what data should be sourced, collected and analysed in order to feed meaningful reports and scorecards.

The deployment of an executive endorsed sustainability Scorecard with high level Green IT objectives and goals, will resonate throughout an organisation that sustainability is important and all employees can participate.

Key Objectives

  1. Identifying, benchmarking and identifying how to measure the key sustainability outcomes
  2. Indicating how these metrics should be used in business cases through to balanced scorecards
  3. Detailing the typical technological \ architectural implications.
