Greener IT: How Microsoft saved 160 staff-hours & 4 metric tonnes of carbon

Need to start reducing travel and slashing operational costs?  Got a Green IT strategy but need some further business case info? Wanting to build a Unified Communications business case?

This month the Microsoft Australia team have published a great case study on how Microsoft Australia ran a trial on changing the delivery model of our monthly manager meeting, which 130 people attend from across Australia. Instead of having all those people travel to the meeting, Microsoft utilised Roundtable devices in meeting rooms across Australia.  It is quite a good overview on how the meeting was approached, how they setup the room, some recommended best practices on how to handle the human aspects of future meetings and what the dollar and environmental benefits were.  See the Little Miss Enviro Geek blog for the whole story.
