New Media Partnership with LogicalTech Group to boost Green IT Awareness

The Foundation for IT Sustainability (FFITS.ORG), a non-profit Green IT organization today announced a strategic partnership with LogicalTech Group to assist in raising the profile of their 2013 International Green IT Awareness Week (IGITAW) running from the 1 - 7 June 2013.

IGITAW is a seven day, multi-time zone, global, online event hosted by FFITS.ORG that will bring together the global network of Green IT professionals with thousands of tech journalists, CIOs, CTOs, IT Managers, sustainability professionals, carbon managers and more under one virtual roof.

FFITS.ORG’s Project Manager and Event Manger of IGITAW, Tim Martin, said, this year we will have over 30 live and pre-recorded tactical and practical learning sessions, international keynotes, Q&A panels and is a must attend for those looking for greater sustainability performance and efficiency from their organisation and IT assets.” “The main outcome of this week is to encourage individuals and organisations to demand more from themselves and their partners, holding each other to account for our impact on the environment,” Tim concluded.

In support of the week of awareness, the LogicalTech Group, a leading IT Consulting and Technology Solutions Provider in Australia for over 25 years, has embarked on a collaborative media partnership with the Foundation for IT Sustainability (FFITS.ORG). The LogicalTech Group is supporting the event by promoting International Green IT Awareness Week to its extensive network of Tech Journalists, CIOs, CTOs, IT Managers and CEOs of various vertical markets.

“Green IT is perhaps the best way for any organization to get started with energy efficiency. Servers, laptops, and other IT equipment are typically refreshed every three or four years as part of an organization's strategy to keep up to date with technology” said Cassidy Poon, National Marketing Manager of LogicalTech Group.

Mark Winter, Founder of FFITS.ORG said, “We are extremely pleased to have the support of the LogicalTech Group for this year’s International Green IT Awareness Week.” “This collaboration will enable a tremendous amount of knowledge to be compiled and shared around the world. Our world-class partners are the reason our event remains the biggest Green IT conference in the world,” Mark concluded.

"Without wanting to spark too much debate, climate change is a reality that we are currently facing. While in our day-to-day lives, we're mostly getting better at saving the environment (through recycling, hybrid cars, and dual-flush toilets), there is still a silent issue that needs addressing: our energy-hogging computers. In anticipation of Green IT week from 1-7 June, Bianca Wirth from ComputersOff talks us through some tips to save energy and money:

Buzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzz. Buzzzzzzz.
