March 22, 2006: Thomas Bolioli, President of Terra Novum, LLC is being featured in a Computerworld feature article entitled Sustainable Computing: It's Not Easy Being Green: Eco-friendly computing is a concept whose payback is slowly catching on. Mr. Bolioli was quoted as saying:

"There's always a company out there doing something to be eco-friendly, but for most companies, it has to make money sense," says Thomas Bolioli, president of Terra Novum LLC, a consulting company in Watertown, Mass., that advises IT departments on energy efficiency.

Bolioli says companies are starting to better balance their computing requirements with the desire to reduce energy consumption and the corresponding costs. They're employing power management software to power down PCs when not in use, and they're opting for more energy-efficient components, such as LCDs rather than CRT monitors, when refreshing hardware.

Mr. Bolioli is a professional IT Consultant with expertise in the energy efficiency of electronic devices, among other things, and who works as part of a EPA sponsored team which approaches organizations in order to advocate more energy efficient means of managing enterprise computing.
