As the credit crunch continues to claim businesses, there could be an increase in the adoption of green IT initiatives, it has been claimed.
Published by Datamonitor, a report reveals that firms are being forced to look for ways to cut their capital expenditure.
The Can Green IT Bloom in an Economic Downturn? document claims that IT solutions such as virtualisation, efficient datacentre design and asset lifecycle management will prosper as long as the recession continues.
Furthermore, businesses are beginning to realise that being environmentally friendly and cutting costs can go hand-in-hand.
