New Initiative for Saving Money and Cutting CO2 in US Education Establishments

Online, May 28, 2013 (Newswire.com) - PeachWorx LLP have announced that they are making available their TaskForceCO2 energy saving software product to any education establishment in the US on a fixed price site wide license basis saving significant sums from a per PC License.

The new license priced at $995 provides a School or College with an Unlimited Site license without the need to account for new or retiring PCs or audit its usage.

PeachWorx say estimated savings from using Power Management Software averaging $55 per PC per year, so when you do the math its clear shutting down just a few PCs that would normally get left on gives a substantial return on investment. Typically a 1000 PC School should be looking at savings of around $55,000 per year say PeachWorx.

In any environment there are always PCs left on outside of working hours but in an education environment its much more likely according to Richard Ward, Partner at PeachWorx "Staff are often far too busy to go round shutting down PCs and students don't take responsibility for doing it, the outcome is a much larger electricity bill and increased CO2 emissions" said Ward.

According to PeachWorx, often conventional methods like scripts and policies fail due to device drivers getting in the way and automated procedures can be very costly on a per PC basis.

TaskForceCO2 works by allowing power schedules to be applied to networked PCs. This lets the Organization shut down, standby, hibernate and wake up PCs automatically thereby saving significant sums of money in between.

"Our Unique Site Wide License is at a low fixed cost and comes with 3 years support and upgrades. It means any educational body can be saving in just a matter of weeks" said Ward.

All Education establishments that want to take part can visit our Education offer page to get a free trial copy and details of how to obtain Educational pricing, including discounted School District Licensing.

Ward added "TaskForceCO2 is currently installed on tens of thousands of PCs and with a free trial copy that works on up to 250 PCs for 14 days, its easy for any education user to establish what the likely cost savings would be."
