Abstract
This IDC study examines how organizations can use green technology
in the office environment in terms of procurement process, the
role of peripherals in paper management/managed print services, and IT
asset disposal and device fleet management to reduce operational costs
as well as promote environmental sustainability.
"In Asia/Pacific, the role of
green office management has been largely underplayed, with organizations focusing
more on reducing costs by reducing power consumption within the
datacenter. During this troubled economic period, organizations are searching for
more ways to manage their budgets; and saving money through
green office management is a good alternative. Currently, green office
management is still in a nascent stage, with the majority
of companies focusing on one or two components of green
office management, such as recycling initiatives and power management in
the workplace. However, green office management includes a broader spectrum
of components, namely procurement, energy-efficiency measures, and document and printing
management, as well as IT asset disposal and device fleet
management. Companies need to understand and implement all of these
green office components to positively impact on the bottom line
and the environment more," says Audrey Heng, associate market analyst,
Green IT and Emerging Technologies Advisory Services, IDC Asia/Pacific.
