Despite Proven Benefits, PC Power Management Programs Are Still Not
Prevalent NORCROSS, Ga., May 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- PC power
management programs, which enable management of PC power settings
over a network, provide the ability to drastically reduce
organizations' power consumption, energy costs, and carbon dioxide
emissions. Numerous studies, including those from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency and several private-sector
organizations, indicate that up to $70 per PC can be saved each
year by implementing PC power management programs. For an
enterprise with 1,000 client computers, this can result in annual
energy savings of $70,000. Despite the significant savings
opportunity, the vast majority of organizations are not utilizing
power management capabilities and are wasting large amounts of
electricity and contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. According
to a recent survey conducted by Forrester Research Inc., only 13%
of organizations have implemented extensive power management
programs while an additional 18% have set up programs for only some
of their PCs. Simtrol's Device Manager(TM) software optimizes the
