It has been a while since I wrote my last post on green architecture. This time I'll address the environment component of corporate architecture. In which way is architecture able to support sustainability policy towards the environment? Paperless There are a lot of thinks a corporation can do to minimize her effects on the environment. For example a corporate level architecture guideline can be that all business processes must minimize physical output. This means that output of business processes (and the supporting applications and IT infrastructure) must be digital. Thus communicate through media as websites and/or e-mail and minimize the output on paper. A supporting guideline could be that if there must be physical output, recycled resources must be used. In this way if there has to be output on paper, recycled paper must be used. Policy Of course there are a lot of things you can do. For example in choosing which data centre you use. See if this data center has a policy on being green (thus only using A-label energy saving products). Try to be efficient in the amount of servers that you are using. Demand a good environmental friendly policy of your suppliers. There is a lot to gain if every company is trying to minimize it's effects on the environment. I think that, at this point in time, trying to achieve this will have commercial benefits. As a IT architect you are able to provide solutions that will save the environment in the long term. Tags:
