whitepaper The Greening of SaaS2009-09-01 MessageLabs, now part of Symantec
  Are your energy costs going up? Are unbudgeted software and hardware costs hurting your bottom line?

SaaS reduces or eliminates costs related to installing, deploying and supporting standalone software. It can also free you from local server and infrastructure support. With SaaS, you'll green up your IT environment by reducing local energy and resource consumption, and offload the responsibility for proper equipment disposal from your organization to the SaaS provider. This white paper details the benefits of SaaS and how it can boost your green IT quotient.
