At the start of every year, everyone makes predictions for the new year.

This year is no different, but one that I recommend for our industry is IDC's “Top 10 Predictions Worldwide and US Hardcopy 2009.” It’s an interesting read and I agree on various points. Of particular interest to HP enterprise customers, is that IDC is convinced that 2009 will be the year for vendors to focus on helping customers with cost-cutting and productivity enhancements to their existing infrastructure.  Green and sustainability will be increasingly important to enterprises as a cost cutting tactic. 

Sound familiar?  It's a challenging economy for everyone, however, as my previous posts indicate, HP has the strength, capacity and solutions in place to help our enterprise customers manage the environmental impact, and the costs associated with, their imaging and printing infrastructure.   In fact, pre- and post-analysis of some of HP's Managed Print Services customers’ imaging and printing operations reveals energy savings of between 30 percent and 80 percent and reductions in paper consumption in the millions of pages!

There's a cost cutting (and planet improving!) incentive for you.  Interested in learning more?  Go to www.hp.com/go/greenITplan to get started with your Green IT Plan today.
