Abstract

Information and Communications Technologies have contributed significantly to the economic and social development of today's society. The international scientific community is discussing their negative and positive effects and their relationship with the environment, and are looking for solutions in sustainable technologies and information systems. The present investigation proposes a procedure to determine the level of sustainability in the management of technologies and information systems using Compensatory Fuzzy Logic in an organization. The results of the application of the procedure allowed calculating and evaluating the level of sustainability in the management of information systems and technologies. After analyzing the results, the worst measured criteria evaluated were determined among those found: the installation of intelligent switches, the deployment of free cooling systems, and the implementation of intelligent technologies, the use of ecological technology and the management of strategies for Sustainable Information Technologies and Systems.
