The bill requires each state agency that would benefit from power management software, as determined by DIR, to purchase, lease or otherwise acquire and use the power management software. This analysis assumes that approximately 40 percent or 163,782 of workstations could be affected and that the initial price of the power management software is $15 per workstation with an annual maintenance cost of $9 per workstation. Therefore, the cost of acquisition and maintenance is estimated to be $3,930,768 in All Funds for the 2008-09 biennium.
The deployment of this software would not require additional full-time equivalents.
This analysis assumes that an annual savings of $35 per workstation with monitor would result from the application of the power management software. Assuming 40 percent of users fail to power down their computer, annual savings would be approximately $5,732,370 in All Funds.
There are a number of fiscal impacts related to information technology. These are detailed in the methodology above.
