IT Energy Management Leader Verdiem Expands International Energy Rate Coverage for Global Businesses with Surveyor 6 Spring Edition

LONDON, March 6, 2012/PRNewswire/ --

          Surveyor 6 Spring Edition Allows Multinational Customers to Better Manage

    Energy Consumption and Cost Across Multiple Locations, Energy Rates and Currencies

    Verdiem [http://www.verdiem.com ], a leader in IT energy management and efficiency
software, today announced the availability of Verdiem Surveyor 6 Spring Edition, which
delivers the most advanced functionality in the industry for global companies to more
accurately track and manage energy consumption and costs across international boundaries,
rates and currencies. This new location-based functionality represents another in a long
list of market defining capabilities delivered by Verdiem over the past decade.

    Energy rates differ greatly depending on location and time of year. Many locations
also have energy costs that vary throughout the day known as time-of-use (TOU) energy
rates. In some locations, TOU rates can change up to 15 times daily. As a result, it is
challenging for energy managers to accurately calculate and manage energy expenditures in
offices across multiple locations.

    "Many of our customers have a global reach and require a solution that will help them
precisely measure their energy consumption and costs across global offices," said John
Scumniotales, president and CEO of Verdiem. "Surveyor 6 Spring Edition adds best-in-class
features to the Surveyor platform that take into account an office's location to provide
important information about energy consumption. This makes it easier for our customers to
translate international data on energy savings and more accurately report their results."

    Building on the robust features and functionality of Surveyor 6, the Spring Edition
offers customers the ability to create rules that associate devices with specific
locations. For example, IT staff can identify device locations based on IP addresses and
automatically associate the device with the specific location's energy rates in the local
currency. In addition, all of the devices within one office location are tied to specific
energy policies that can be optimised based on local TOU energy rates.

    "With these enhancements to Surveyor, customers now have the ability to configure
energy rates and currencies based on location," said Andy Lawrence, research director for
eco-efficient IT at 451 Research. "The technology provides organisations with a powerful
tool for managing energy consumption and reducing costs at a time when electricity rates
are rising around the world. Most organisations find energy efficiency to be a challenging
project - technology like this makes it easier, more realistic and measureable."

    Expanding on the advanced analytics and reporting features in Surveyor 6, the new
multi-location, energy rate, and currency capabilities of Surveyor 6 Spring Edition allow
customers to more accurately compare energy utilisation and spending in global offices via
data visualisations, improving the reporting and decision-making processes. The Surveyor
solution measures energy consumption from each location, and easily calculates a device's
power costs with even the most complex TOU rates. In turn, an organisation's global energy
consumption can be analysed, translated and reported in a single currency, streamlining
the reporting process. This simplifies the process of tracking cost savings and energy
expenditures throughout the enterprise.

    Verdiem has sold nearly 2 million licenses of its IT energy management software.
Customers around the globe have selected Verdiem Surveyor 6 to monitor IT energy
consumption and enforce IT energy policies in their organisations. With the rich
visualisation capabilities in Surveyor 6, customers are reducing operating costs and
increasing IT efficiency. To learn more, visit http://www.verdiem.com.
