Helping IT Save Money ... and Jobs?

Posted by Cliff on from the frugal-with-the-corporate-funds dept.

An anonymous reader asks: "I work in a small, overworked and understaffed IT department at a profitable business. We recently got the news that we needed to cut costs. While every penny counts, simply turning off the computers at night and saving pennies on processor cycles isn't exactly a noticeable savings. I'm curious what measures other Slashdot readers have taken to save money within their IT departments."

    Holy shit, a week? What phone do you have? My Motorola v180 battery runs down after about 72 hours of standby, and about 5 hours of talk-time. (I don't know what the manual claims it does, that's my real-world experience.) Even if you consider "normal usage" just standby, a week's pretty impressive I have to admit.
