Found this post while lurking a #EA twitter search: ARCHITECTS ARE GOING GREEN (Cute pic, btw.)
Are architects going green? IT is trying, but I don’t really hear many EA clients I talk to bringing this up. There are certainly things to do, and green can mean lower cost as well as sustainable. So, why no real focus?
I have an opinion, but it’s only that: it’s deemed to be too low level. But, if the enterprise you’re architecting actually itself cares about green, I bet you ARE focused on this. You certainly SHOULD be. The alignment of green IT projects/future states to corporate business strategy could be the last straw that breaks the camel’s back of funding change initiatives to bring the EA to real life. If they don’t care about green, then the cost advantages could also prove effective. Either way, green would be a nice color to paint your EA.
So, why is EA not more concerned with green? Do you have any examples of where using green helped you?
