Carmarthenshire County Council chooses Certero’s PowerStudio™ to help meet their carbon reduction targets and reduce their electricity consumption.

Carmarthenshire County Council took full advantage of the free evaluation of PowerStudio™ offering from Certero to ensure that they were able to make a fully informed decision on which was the right PC power management solution to meet their requirements. Intelligent PowerStudio™ software demonstrated with real data the current usage and associated costs. By applying power saving policies on a subset of identified PC’s it was easy to show the potential saving that could be achieved across their PC environment. Empowered with this information it was possible to build a compelling business case that could be measured in the future to establish ROI targets were being met. Business orientated management reports in PowerStudio™ makes this possible resulting in a purchase of PowerStudio™.
