An agent-less, enterprise-grade, PC power management solution, PowerMinder does not require software to be installed on end user PCs.

Organizations will now be able to make immediate savings on their energy costs by installing PowerMinder. Those companies that are interested can take advantage of a 45-day trial that is currently available on PowerMinder.com. This trial allows organizations to set baselines and assess their PC estate in advance to establish and report on actual energy consumption.
Ben Berger, PowerMinder Product Manager, said that “PowerMinder is perfect for organizations who are frustrated with the bulky, resource-laden products on the market today. IT departments are reluctant to deploy them because of the time, effort, and complexity involved. We are confident that our low-complexity, easy-to-deploy solution is going to resonate with people who have responsibility for corporate sustainability targets, or who just want an easy way to cut their energy costs”.
