One of those "bravo" moments
Occasionally I have to say thanks for people like Tom Yager, who generally writes pertinent, logical and informed words about IT matters - but doesn't limit himself to just the code and the hardware. Better still, he's not preachy about his opinions: When I write about it, I stay away from suggesting that there is any sort of "save the planet" global imperative that should drive IT toward consolidation and the purchase of more energy-efficient equipment. By pursuing energy-conscious policies, what a company conserves is capital. As energy prices inevitably rise, kilowatts, BTUs, and square feet rise above nickel-and-dime concerns. I reach out to the pragmatists with the message that conservation makes fiscal sense. I don't mind sneaking my agenda through the side door.
Bravo. Well said.
