Information Builders and Verdiem Partner to Better Monitor Enterprise Energy Consumption
Information Builders and Verdiem have announced a partnership to use BI and analytics to better manage energy consumption and optimize related cost savings. Under the agreement, Verdiem is integrating WebFOCUS, Information Builders' comprehensive BI solution, into its new Surveyor 6 platform, enabling centralized power management beyond the traditional PC and Mac platforms to distributed IT devices.
The Verdiem solution collects detailed device utilization and energy consumption data. Using this data, customers develop power management policies that achieve 30 to 50 percent energy and cost savings with ROI in five to eight months. In larger enterprises, the data collection scale and frequency introduces data management, reporting and analytical complexity and challenges. By partnering with Information Builders, Verdiem has made the data more accessible to users. Drawing on WebFOCUS' advanced and reporting capabilities, Surveyor 6 enables Verdiem's customers to optimize their energy consumption and make more informed decisions about reducing IT operating costs.
