Utilising IT to cut costs
Organisations keep looking for new ways to bring down costs. Leveraging IT effectively can be one way of achieving this objective, reports CXO Today.
"IT can be leveraged in many ways to reduce operational costs for organisations. Especially during tough economic times, in order to reduce TCO, it is prudent for companies to adopt and deploy solutions that are easy to deploy, maintain with the ever changing requirements of organisations," says Abhijit Saxena, CEO of netCore Solutions.
Thin clients, server-based computing, open source applications, virtualisation, etc. are some technologies that can help reduce costs, at the same time ensuring that productivity is not compromised.
