Going Green Makes $ense
The concept in our IT/Operations department was simple: Use the latest technology to do more with less and do it in a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way. In 2009, we saved thousands of dollars by using “virtualization” hardware to combine computer servers and a new “zero client computing” system that allows employees to work from their desk without a desktop computer!

$50,000–
anticipated savings in hardware costs in the next three years
