The Business Benefits of PowerStudio™
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 effi ciencies. When you also add the “Green Agenda” with targets being set by The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) via CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme 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.
