UK Public Sector Uses 1E Software to Reduce its Computers' CO2 Emissions

In May 2008 the UK Government's central procurement department, the Office for Government Commerce (OGC), selected the NightWatchman PC power management solution from 1E. This was as part of its campaign to encourage the public sector to work smarter for the environment when using PCs.

NightWatchman uses extremely reliable and proven technology to shut down unattended computers automatically, remotely and safely, enabling organisations to enforce corporate energy saving schemes.

It significantly reduces energy consumption, costs and impact on the environment and satisfies all stakeholders without compromising productivity. The NightWatchman solution is easy to install, simple to use, and non­intrusive to the user, since it protects unsaved data prior to shutdown.

1E is the sole vendor to be awarded a framework contract to provide the UK public sector with ICT power management software
