Chief Information Officers are gradually deploying more green IT, according to new research.
A survey by Ovum, an independent technology analyst, found almost three-quarters of CIOs have deployed green IT within their organisation, with an additional eight per cent planning to do so by the end of next year, the company said in a press release.
The survey also revealed the number of organisations using green IT grew to 73 per cent in the second half of last year, up from approximately 68 per cent in the first half,.
Ovum attributed the rise to tightened IT budgets and a sluggish economy which forced IT decision-makers "to scrutinise spending and wake up to the potential cost savings green IT can deliver".
"This growth in green IT penetration reflects a change of attitude by CIOs and other IT decision-makers. Previously, they considered green IT optional because they defined its value primarily in terms of corporate image, rather than the bottom line," said Rhonda Ascierto, Ovum analyst and author of a new report.
