Edison is a software that helps reduce and track power consumption in businesses. The software is easy to use and can be integrated with other systems, such as accounting and inventory systems. This makes it easy to keep track of how much power each device is using, and makes it easier to find ways to reduce power consumption. ..
Edison is a small utility which is similar to Uniblue’s Local Cooling Project, that allows individuals and business to cut power consumption on workstations.
Sure, we can go into Power Settings in XP or Vista and make the appropriate changes, but this user interface makes it more fun and is much simpler… not to mention the fun statistics on how much money you’ve saved.
Installing Edison
Edison is a 28MB download and will work on XP (Service Pack2) and Vista. Installation is quick and easy.
After Installation you will get the Edison screen that will prompt you to register your email account. They send you an activations code, after receiving it, hit the “I’m Activated!” button.
Using Edison
Next you can just click through easy to navigate controls to adjust the power settings to be most advantageous to yourself and the environment. The easiest way is to adjust the position of the slider between saving more or less power.
From the UI you can make adjustments to Work Time, Non-Work Time, or a complete custom schedule.
Conclusion
Edison is mainly geared toward individual users, while the software company Verdiem has another product which is marketed toward businesses.
