Green IT practices, once considered nice-to-haves, are increasingly becoming must-haves -- not only for their benefits to the environment but also for their ability to improve energy efficiency and reduce bottom-line costs. Those benefits, combined with expectations of increased regulatory scrutiny, have led more insurers than ever to take a serious look at projects that improve data center efficiency, eliminate paper-based processes, or otherwise reduce an organization's carbon footprint.
