UK Public Sector

The UK public sector is facing the largest financial crisis in its history. Tough decisions continually have to be made as to where efficiencies and savings can be found. The extensive experience that 1E has in working with the UK Public Sector over the past 10 years means that it is best placed to enable organizations to identify and reduce waste, not only in energy terms (through desktop and server power management), but also in software, network and operational management costs.

There are more than 1.1million licenses of 1E solutions deployed across the UK public sector estate, 500,000 of which are NightWatchman Enterprise, which has saved more than £30 million over the past four years alone. This equates to more than 15% of all public sector computer, across central and local government, police forces and the NHS.

1E is the sole vendor on the IT Power Management Framework for provision of power saving software to all areas of the UK public sector. The framework is the result of a cross-governmental collaboration led by Department of Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) and supported by the OGC’s Collaborative Procurement Energy and ICT team and is intended to assist the UK government to both reduce its carbon footprint and to increase its cost efficiencies.

1E has a significant presence in government, including customers like The Department of Work and Pensions, Essex County Council, Ofgem, Peterborough City Council, Wolverhampton City Council, Devon and Cornwall Constabulary and The Scottish Government, 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.

NightWatchman is the only power management solution available on the OGC Framework for the provision of power saving software to all areas of the public sector. But reducing energy and cutting carbon emissions is just one of the ways our public sector customers are facing up to the challenge to do more with less.
Climate change is one of our biggest challenges and the Department for Children, Schools and Families is committed to finding solutions to reduce our own carbon footprint and cut our energy usage. Introducing power management software to automatically shut down PCs overnight is just one of the many steps the Department has taken to reduce our own environmental impact.”
