This panel will focus on what all in-house counsel covering technology-related transactions should know about the growing nexus between technology and the environment. Currently, the world is in Green IT 1.0. The focus is on conserving energy and reducing heat in power-hungry data centers and protecting the environment with proper equipment disposal procedures. The panel will review what to ask for when negotiating data center agreements, outsourcing and equipment disposal arrangements. Discussion will also include Green IT 2.0, in which innovative efforts are under way to meter IT usage to utilize power consumption as a proxy, recycle heat and employ IT as part of a firm-wide effort to achieve certification as a green enterprise. The panel will focus on the things you cannot afford not to know when negotiating technology transactions or counseling your IT department.
