Abstract
The purpose of this research was to uncover how IT organisations respond in the context of climate change as a result of their traditionl data center approaches, as illustrated by EDS' UK operation in a case study. The research was supplemented by a study examining the unintended value created through a green data center journey. ... As in many developing countries, South African enterprises will be obliged to act on climate change, not because of regulation, but because of pressure from the global market and the international supply chain in particular. South African enterprises are beginning to understand that sustainability should not be seen as merely a cost of doing business, but rather as the way of doing business.
