VERDIEM JOINS TECHNOLOGY AND EVIRONMENTAL LEADERS IN CLIMATE SAVERS COMPUTER INITIATIVE

Dell, EPA, Google, HP, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, PG&E and World Wildlife Fund Among Group Committed to Saving $55 Million in Energy Costs, Reducing Greenhouse Gas Emissions by 54 Million Tons Per Year

Seattle - June 13, 2007 - Verdiem, the leading developer of power management software for PC networks, has joined the Climate Savers Computing Initiative (www.climatesaverscomputing.org), a group of industry, government, consumer and conservation organizations committed to increasing energy efficiency of personal and enterprise computing technology. Verdiem is a charter member of the organization. The cross-industry effort has set aggressive new targets for energy-efficient computers and components and will promote the adoption of energy-efficient computers and power management tools worldwide.

"We are excited to work closely with this group of public and private sector leaders to help set and meet IT energy efficiency goals," said Kevin Klustner, chief executive officer, Verdiem. "The fact that this broad group of organizations has highlighted power management for PCs as a key component of its energy efficiency strategy is a testament to the value Verdiem delivers."

Studies show that PCs and monitors use as much as 14 percent of all power consumed in office environments. Based on its existing customer base, annual use of Verdiem technology reduces greenhouse gas emissions at a rate equal to taking more than 9,800 passenger cars off the road for an entire year, or conserving 5,181,586 gallons of gasoline.

"The members of the initiative are committed to making PCs and servers more energy efficient. Verdiem allows an organization to achieve substantial energy efficiencies today. The results are quantifiable and immediate," continued Klustner.

Verdiem's flagship product, SURVEYOR, is an easy-to-use software application that allows organizations to measure, manage and reduce their PC network's energy consumption, saving money and lowering their network's total cost of ownership. SURVEYOR works by intelligently placing PCs into lower power settings when not in use. The software employs a centralized management approach to controlling these power settings residing within each networked computer. This maximizes energy savings without interfering with end-user productivity. SURVEYOR also features comprehensive reporting capabilities to quantify savings, is easy to implement, requires minimal maintenance and delivers payback typically in 18 months or less.

Verdiem is the leading developer of power management software for PC networks. Verdiem's SURVEYOR provides measurable energy and cost savings, simplified and automated management of PC power options, and painless implementation that comes with minimal maintenance and a rapid payback. The development of SURVEYOR was funded in part by the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance, and the software is approved as a conservation measure by utilities and power producers throughout North America. Verdiem is a recognized EPA ENERGY STAR ® Buildings Program partner and was recently awarded Premier Partner status in the U.S. Department of Energy's Rebuild America program.
