Energy Management Savings Not Just for Large Enterprises

In all my years as an IT professional, I’ve witnessed a lot of deals and collaborations between companies. But, it wasn’t until I joined Cisco Energy Management that I saw a partnership with a hippo.

Did that get your attention? I hope so.

The truth is Cisco Energy Management did partner with a hippo – Planet Hippo, the first Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the UK to offer cloud Energy Management capabilities to its customer base of small- and mid-sized enterprises.

What I like about the cloud-based model is that it does not require additional hardware or operational costs associated with on-premises software deployments, which removes the financial barriers that many smaller enterprises have to overcome. Today, the Planet Hippo and Cisco Energy Management partnership works together to:

Help bring innovation to customers in new markets

Work with any ICT device connected to the network, regardless of device type or vendor

Cut energy consumption for savings costs of up to 35 percent

Deliver a return on investment within a few months

Satisfy the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS), a mandatory energy assessment scheme for organizations in the UK

We are excited about our partnership with Planet Hippo and I encourage you to watch the video below to learn more about how this solution is helping businesses thrive.
