Greentech Media submits:
Sleep saved Starwood Hotels and Resorts (HOT) $350,000 in 2009.
The company initiated a program in 2007 to put employee PCs into sleep mode after an hour of inactivity, according to Mark McBeth, Vice President IT, North America for Starwood. IT managers often come up with these sorts of programs, but the goals can get sidetracked when employees reset their computers. (The system also does an early sleep on desktop monitors.)
