Business can make their IT greener by managing paper and desktop power usage, according to Rhonda Ascierto, analyst at Ovum.
Printing and paper management was "relatively inexpensive and straightforward to deploy", she said.
"Solutions to automate policies for double-sided printing and defaulting to an eco-font that uses less ink than a regular font" were two effortless ways of reducing wastage in the office, said Ms Ascierto.
She went on to say that monitoring and reducing desktop energy use could save as much as £22 a year per PC and "typically has an return on investment of six to 12 months, sometimes even shorter".
Her comments emerged as Ovum's research revealed almost three-quarters of chief information officers (CIOs) have deployed green IT within their organisation, with an additional eight per cent planning to do so by the end of next year.
