TF1 - France's Leading Mainstream TV Channel - Deploys Verdiem Surveyor IT Energy Management Software to cut PC Electricity Usage by Over 60 Percent
LONDON and PARIS, September 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
On target for full ROI within a year of Verdiem deployment, with annual cost savings
of approx. EUR100,000 across TF1 Group PC estate
Verdiem [http://www.verdiem.com ], a leader in IT energy management and efficiency
software, has successfully deployed its Surveyor solution at TF1 [http://www.tf1.fr ]
Group - one of France's leading integrated media and entertainment groups and operator of
France's no 1 TV channel for major events.
Surveyor's flexible functionality allows power saving policies to be precisely matched
to customer requirements, resulting in dramatic reductions in TF1's PC energy consumption
across some 4,000 PCs between 60 and 75 per cent.
TF1 wanted a PC power management solution that was reliable and transparent, and that
would be effective while having zero impact on the end-user. Following a successful trial,
Verdiem Surveyor was chosen by TF1 for its ability to unlock additional PC power savings
of between 15 and 20 percent, in addition to those savings already achieved by its
previous generation PC power management software.
M. Thierry Michalak, IT Director for TF1 said: "We trialled several PC power
management solutions, and Verdiem's Surveyor solution - proposed by Greenvision - proved
to be superior on both the functional and the technical level - generating a further 15 to
20 percent savings compared to rival solutions. The Verdiem software is also robust, and
has no impact on TF1's network set-up."
Having compared four solutions in detail, and after several months of tests carried
out by TF1's technical department, M. Thierry Michalak, found that Verdiem Surveyor
"proved to be superior on both the functional and technical level."
The Verdiem solution deployment is on target for full Return on Investment within a
year, with annual cost savings of approximately EUR100,000 across the TF1 Group's
extensive PC estate. Two factors that were critical for TF1 were IT security and making
sure that any PC power management solution had no impact on the group's existing network
infrastructure.
Surveyor allows organisations such as TF1 to customise and implement specific energy
management polices according to different group usage. Once the Verdiem client software is
installed on the end-user PC, TF1's IT department can carry out updates or policy
adjustments centrally without the need to disrupt users.
