It is generally accepted that it is common practise for organisations to leave their PC's switched on overnight and even during weekends and holiday periods. With the economic challenges that organisations are facing they are continually looking for opportunities or solutions that will save money and improve efficiencies. When you also add the "Green Agenda" with targets either imposed or about to be imposed then the challenges look so much greater.
Always on PC's cost UK plc's over £300 million a year. A survey found that 30% of PC's are left on overnight wasting organisations at least £17 per computer each year. (Source: businessGreen.com)
This view is consistently endorsed by many Industry Experts. With PowerStudio™ savings of up to £48 per PC per annum could realistically be achieved. The benefits are clear and simple. The challenge is how to realise them. Many solutions available today do not take into account the many challenges involved in the deployment, manageability and maintenance of the solution.
PowerStudio™ has built in functionality to help you establish targets, report against them to ensure you can measure your ROI as well as demonstrating the environmental benefits. With PowerStudio™ organisations can have an immediate solution that can provide ROI in as little as 4 months and also help with their "Green Agenda" obligations and credentials.
