PC, Laptop and Screen Power Management

For the desktop computer environment, WPM provide Verdiem’s Surveyor.

There are various power management products in the market, most of which are free, but not very effective. When choosing from the 2 best products on the market to offer to our customers, we decided the highly intelligent manner in which Verdiem’s Surveyor works with the computer directly, as well as and the various Microsoft operating systems (XP, Vista and Windows 7) makes it by far the most effective approach to monitoring usage, and applying policies that intelligently manage device power state taking into account users daily working patterns.

Highly accurate reporting on granular levels of power state and usage information enables accurate mapping of policy to results and therefore savings.

Also important to our decision to provide this best of breed product has been the selection decisions a growing number of large customers are making for Verdiem after considerable evaluation exercises.

For example, Microsoft have selected Verdiem for hundreds of thousands of their XP, Vista and upcoming Windows 7 users around the world because it reports very accurately, and it solves problems such as insomnia and narcolepsy where 60 % of the PC’s should be shutting down but don’t, and consequently continue to consume high levels of energy.
