The Practice of Using Green Information System(green Is) Solutions for Eco-friendly Organisations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reports on the practice of using two Green Information System (Green IS) solutions in a large organisation called Acadia. These Green IS solutions are the Unified Communications and Collaboration (UCC) system and a Sustainable Knowledge Management and Sharing (SKMS) system. The Green IS refers to specific information system artefacts that organisations create and/or apply to achieve Green goals such as to reduce emissions or to encourage pro-environmental behaviour. The data was collected through a descriptive survey of 150 participants and was analysed using descriptive analysis. The findings indicate that the practice of using Green IS solutions is still considerably low. However, efforts towards promoting the use of Green IS solutions for the benefits of creating eco-friendly organisation is a continuous process and require more awareness on the part of the individual staff members.
