Rick Freedman notes that applying a selective and rigorous methodology to a thin client migration will position IT teams to reap the enhanced Green IT and ROI benefits that the computing model offers.

In large, IT-intensive enterprises, the value of desktop and network computing (in the form of enhanced productivity and innovative capabilities) is unquestioned, but that doesn’t negate the difficulties of managing a huge, diverse fleet of PCs. The constant upgrades to PC hardware, applications, and operating systems make the governance and decision process more complex. For instance, how do IT executives know which upgrades are critical to user service and to stay competitive and which upgrades can be skipped or selectively applied?
With the current focus on global warming and Green IT, the question of PC deployment becomes even more challenging. Many users never turn off their PCs or monitors or apply the power-saving capabilities of their desktops, which complicates the drive towards IT sustainability. The bandwidth required to serve applications to all these PCs forces IT departments to buy more servers, network gear, and power and cooling equipment to support it. Security challenges, such as spyware, virus definitions, and firewall signature maintenance, add to the burden as well.
