Two reports on sustainability have been released by IDC Manufacturing Insights. The first, Vendor Assessment: Sustainability Strategy Services Guide for Manufacturers, provides technology services buyers with an analysis of 14 large firms that provide strategy-level sustainability services to manufacturers, and identifies the decision-making criteria for selection. The second report, Seeing the Business Benefits of Sustainability: Revenue, Profit, and Inventory Management, finds that manufacturers that quickly develop their green initiatives will recognize a significant impact on revenue growth and cost savings.
Current sustainability offerings are still emerging and there are areas that vendors must improve, according to the new research. Nevertheless, vendors can still help manufacturers move faster toward green initiatives, allowing manufacturers to yield revenue growth as well as considerable cost savings. The research is designed to help vendors, services providers and systems integrators who aspire to switch from "green IT to IT for green" services to make informed decisions, as well as help end users understand what other manufacturers are doing in sustainability, how they compare, and how to make strategic and informed vendor selections.
