Best-in-Class Approach Reduces IT Operational Costs While Saving Jobs or Fueling Top-Line Revenue Growth
SEATTLE, Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Verdiem, a leader in IT energy management software, today announced that the company has helped its customers save more than $50 million in 2012 with its IT energy management solutions. More than 700 companies with 2.5 million power-managed devices experienced up to 60 percent reduction in energy waste, delivering substantial savings as a result.
"In today's environment, where cutting costs is part of the 'new normal,' Verdiem delivers a quick energy efficiency win—often in less than six months—with meaningful savings for organizations across industries and sizes," said John Scumniotales, president and CEO of Verdiem. "By reducing IT energy waste, those dollars that would have gone to the utility can now be directed back into the core business—hiring more staff, funding essential programs, or fueling R&D projects."
Businesses across many industries—such as education, financial services and healthcare—benefit from Verdiem's solutions. In 2012, Verdiem experienced nearly 300 percent revenue growth in the healthcare market alone. Some of the largest healthcare organizations in the U.S. now use Verdiem. Verdiem's flexible approach allows even the most complex healthcare environment to achieve significant energy savings.
