Additional:
Dabirian puts his 23 years of IT administrative and academic experience behind his view that, as IBM has estimated, an average business can save 39 percent of its information technology costs by going green. He contends that using more efficient equipment; making equipment perform multiple tasks, in order to cut purchases; and outsourcing IT services, where possible, are all necessary.
