Case Study: International Insurance Group achieves $2.2M energy savings and 3,267 tons CO2 reduction with 1E's NightWatchman

International Insurance Group saves 3k tons of carbon, slashes energy bills and eliminates hardware waste

A leading international insurance group with a strong corporate responsibility program wanted to cut energy use further after a 6.5% reduction in electricity bills. Internal analysis showed IT accounted for an estimated 40% of energy consumption and that 60% of desktops and 18% of laptops were left on overnight, so the company sought a hands-off solution to reduce computer energy use without relying on employees to shut down machines.

The IT team deployed 1E’s NightWatchman across 30,000 PCs to provide automated power control and visibility into usage. The rollout immediately reduced electricity spend and carbon output—saving 3,267 tons of CO2 and $2.2M in energy costs (including over $600K in annual recurring savings)—while improving PC health and security and eliminating hardware waste through PC utilization reporting.
