Raytheon's comprehensive Green IT Strategy has begun to have a broad impact on Raytheon's sustainability goals, including helping Raytheon achieve its greenhouse gas reduction goal of 33% lower per dollar revenue from 2002 to 2009, one year early. The strategy not only addresses the environmental footprint of IT operations (data centers, desktops, printers,) but also focuses on partnering with other functions to leverage IT capabilities to reduce their process footprint. Since this Sustainable IT strategy includes partnering with programs to pursue and execute green-related external business, it provides an opportunity for IT to contribute to direct business growth, although the potential value of new business has not yet been projected. Total savings achieved by the strategy in 2008 were $11.45M. Of this, $2.7 M resulted directly from server-related energy savings, $250K from the initial progress on desktop power management, and $1.5 M from printer-related savings. The remaining savings were a result of reducing server lease expenses, facilities footprint costs, and data center labor. And the cost of building a major new data center was avoided despite a 25% growth in capacity demand, a direct result of our virtualization efforts. 

In 2009 Raytheon received the Uptime Institute Global Green 100 and the InfoWorld Green 15 awards. This presentation will tell the story of how these successes were achieved and discuss how Raytheon plans to "take Green IT to the next level."
