Richard Adhikari of Internetnews.com recently issued an article that highlights the importance of leveraging technology such as Saas (Software as a Service) and green technology as a way to survive financially in 2009 and beyond. The article, titled SaaS, Green Tech in Top 2009 IT Growth Areas, focuses on the technology trends in 2009 that telecom giant Verizon sees as the way to weather the economic storm we're all in.
In relation to SaaS, As the article states "Software-as-a-service (SaaS) is one of the technologies [Verizon] picked. Many businesses are turning to the category of product to cut costs, avoid the expenses of installing and maintaining on-site software -- a point made often by Marc Benioff, the feisty chairman and CEO of SaaS vendor Salesforce.com (NYSE: CRM)."
It goes on to include green technology as another means to survive. As IT budgets are cut, green tech. is a way to support sustained growth.
"Another technology trend that will help cut costs is the greening of IT. Corporate social responsibility is becoming increasingly important to how companies are viewed by employees, customers and investors, and going green early will help businesses get a leg up on their competition, Verizon said."
"'Savvy companies today are embracing the green initiative to get ahead of government and business mandates that will eventually force the issue,' Verizon said.
"Research firm IDC has also identified green IT as one of the major trends for next year. That emphasis will be strengthened by President-elect Obama's appointment of Nobel physics laureate Steven Chu, a strong supporter of sustainable energy, to the post of Energy Secretary."
