Get your Power Management policy in place before the holiday rush.

With the summer holiday period among us many people will be looking to take a well earned break and that, in some cases, means leaving computers on for a couple of weeks without them being used.

LEEDS, U.K. - June 3, 2013 - PRLog -- Cutting costs is an essential process for every organization. Eliminating waste is the easiest way to increase the bottom line and stopping electrical waste on an organizations PC base is a logical place to start.

According to PeachWorx LLP, just one PC left on every night and weekend can waste over £150 ($240) in electricity a year. When this is spread over an entire PC footprint, it adds up to a lot of cash being needlessly spent.

In many organizations, including private businesses, Government Departments, Schools and Colleges, there are no policies in place to automatically power down PCs that have been left on and it can prove very costly. According to Richard Ward, Partner at PeachWorx, "Where policies are in place, they often don't work due to device drivers getting in the way".

TaskForceCO2 lets the IT department set a time of day that PCs will be shut down as long as they are not being used or have not been used within a pre defined time limit. What's more, TaskForceCO2 can force a PC to shut down that otherwise would not.

"It's a particular problem in education establishments where students do not take responsibility for shutting down PCs and staff are too busy" said Ward.

Even if PCs are only shut down at midnight, there are substantial savings to be made and with Power Management Software (http://www.peachworx.com/) in place, its easy to achieve automatically, without relying on users.

In order to make TaskForceCO2 available for every budget, PeachWorx have re-introduced their last summer offer providing an Unlimited Site Licence allowing installation on every PC at a Site for under £500. Multi Site Licences are also available. Ward said " Now is the time to get your power management policy underway so you are ready for the big exodus of staff on holidays. If you don't, it could cost you dearly."'

PeachWorx offer a free trial from http://www.peachworx.com/freetrial that works on up to 250 PCs so an organization can evaluate how much they are likely to save and make an informed decision regards purchasing.
