Letter from Sumir Karayi, CEO 1E

Dear Colleague,

When I founded 1E, the key drivers for me were helping our customers reduce their operating cost and their environmental footprint. Over ten years later, we have grown to be the market leader in PC power management software with 4.5 million licences deployed globally.

The 2009 PC Energy Report reveals some staggering findings. In terms of savings alone, it’s possible to save over $2.8 billion in the US alone through turning off your PC while in the UK it’s nearer £300 million and €918 million in Germany.

“For example, if all the world’s 1 billion PC’s were powered down for just one night – it would save enough energy to light up New York City’s Empire State Building – inside and out – for more than 30 years”

Encouragingly, we’re seeing an uptake in awareness. Users are starting to realise that this does impact them and are insisting that their employer takes steps to drive their energy costs and their carbon footprint down. In fact, over 60% of people believe that their companies should do more to reduce power consumption.

I’d strongly encourage you to download the report from the links on this page. If you would like to understand how 1E can help you reduce the costs and carbon footprint within your organization; talk to us or take a look at our software - NightWatchman.

Kind Regards,
