Energy demand and costs are rising.

Lower energy consumption can directly influence the bottom line.

U.S. companies waste nearly $4 billion powering unused computers each year.

According to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) research, automating PC power management can cut PC-related energy costs by 60 percent or more.

The average PC left on all day and night consumes more than 700 kilowatt-hours of electricity per year - more than the average refrigerator - and wastes almost 400 kilowatt-hours by running at full power when not in use.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, only 36 percent of workforce PCs are turned off at the end of the workday.

Many utility companies offer rebate programs to encourage energy conservation.

Automating PC power management optimizes energy savings with minimal impact on IT staff.

Configuring hundreds or thousands of computers is costly and time consuming for IT staff.

Most users disable their computer's power management settings within a few months, making it hard for IT staff to keep pace.

An automatic solution is needed to keep power management settings at their approved configuration, even when users try to disable or change them.
