Verdiem Corporation announced that the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center is deploying Verdiem's SURVEYOR(TM) on more than 30,000 PCs across the health system's network. Using Verdiem's PC power management solution, UPMC expects to reduce PC power consumption by 50%, resulting in more than $1 million in annual savings. UPMC, in partnership with Duquesne Light Company, deployed Verdiem's SURVEYOR as part of the utility's energy efficiency and demand response initiatives designed to comply with Pennsylvania State Act 129, which requires Pennsylvania electric distribution companies to cut power consumption in their territories by 1% by 2011 and 3% in 2013.

Verdiem Corporation announced that it has joined the McAfee(R) Security Innovation Alliance(TM) (SIA) partner program and that Verdiem's SURVEYOR 5.2 PC Power Management Solution has passed compatibility testing with the McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator(R) (ePO(TM)) platform. With this integration, customers can use McAfee ePO software to rapidly deploy Verdiem's SURVEYOR client to networked PCs across the enterprise. Once deployed, enterprise customers can coordinate Verdiem's Surveyor(TM) PC power management policies with McAfee ePO policies to maximize PC energy savings while gaining insight and control over IT processes related to PC administration and security management. Verdiem's SURVEYOR enables customers to centrally control and reduce the energy used by PCs on their network by up to 60% without impacting end users or IT. Verdiem recently reported that its SURVEYOR PC power management solution has been deployed on more than one million desktops and its enterprise customer base has more than doubled in the last 12 months.
