Insurance

Over the past few years, the turmoil in the financial markets as well as significant natural catastrophes have affected the insurance industry. From the Queensland floods and the Christchurch earthquake to the devastating effects of the Tsunami in Japan, is it estimated that globally insurance claims may exceed $30 billion.

Insurers keen to streamline their operating costs are looking where efficiencies can be made throughout their organizations. Efficient IT solutions from 1E have helped its insurance customers to automate the distribution of software, make energy savings and meet their corporate green initiatives, all of which have direct impact on their bottom line.

1E has a significant presence in the insurance market, including customers like Aviva, Motorists Insurance Group and UNUM who all rely on 1E to help them to significantly lower costs and reduce their CO2 emissions. Our industry leading solutions are focused on improving IT efficiency by identifying and reducing costs and waste in hardware, software, energy and time.

We had 1200 desktops that were up 24 hours for maintenance reasons, just wasting energy. We wanted a product that would shut down the desktops on our schedule…and bring up the maintenance window so we didn’t impact the users during the day. We can automate the process with NightWatchman and save $2400 a month shutting down 600-700 PCs.”
