Through April 30, 2009, you can download “How Much Money Are Your Idle PCs Wasting?” by Doug Washburn of Forrester. It usually costs $279.

Organizations are wasting money paying for energy to run computers when they don’t need to be run. Forrester recommends organizations enable power management on as many assets as possible using power management software by client management suite vendors like 1E, BigFix(my preference), LANDesk, or Scriptlogic. Stand-alone solutions like Faronics or Verdiem are an option, but benefits are not as easily achieved or tracked.

I’m partnered with BigFix. If you want to learn more, let me know. DM me on Twitter
