Cost-saving ideas for IT leaders

Technisource, the IT staffing division of Spherion Corp, has some belt-tightening ideas for IT executives, reports NetworkWorld. Some of the ways to save money on IT that can also boost efficiency and productivity include:

• Sticking to basics. Most users only need a limited suite of applications, basic hardware and limited database access.
• Weigh the benefits of innovation vs. the cost of new technology. Also keep an eye open for new game-changing products out there that have meaningful benefits.
• Go green. Nothing hogs energy like IT systems.
• Be resourceful. Make good use of, and deploy the systems that you already have.
