sustainableIT now offers Efficient IT solutions from 1E to Australasian organisations

1E, a global IT efficiency software company, has extended its strategic partnership with sustainableIT, a company in the field of green ICT and sustainable computing. An existing partner in South Africa since 2008, sustainableIT enhances its consultancy and implementation capabilities in Australia and New Zealand by offering the full suite of Efficient IT solutions from 1E to organisations in the region.

As part of the agreement, sustainableIT now offers 1E’s five IT Efficiency solutions: NightWatchman Enterprise, PC power management; NightWatchman Server Edition, which maximises server efficiency; Nomad Enterprise, the WAN optimisation technology; Shopping, the app store for the enterprise; and AppClarity, which identifies, quantifies, reclaims and recycles unused software.

Emilie Ditton, Research Manager, IDC Australia, says: “Green IT products and services can deliver benefits such as cost, time, power and energy savings as well as lower waste production, while also utilising fewer resources. According to our latest Forecast for Management survey from May 2011, 36.8% of the 239 Australian respondents we polled have already deployed green IT initiatives, while a further 28.5% plan to deploy green IT initiatives in the next 12 to 24 months. It is clear that good progress is being made.”

1E has a number of existing customers in Australia and New Zealand, including the City of Melbourne, Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority and Kiwibank. In South Africa, 1E and sustainableIT share a number of significant customers including direct insurance leader OUTsurance and one of South Africa’s leading financial services groups, SANLAM.
