What UPS's are in play for the essential servers? Can the UPS monitoring software for those initiate any script file you care to supply?

Power goes out sometimes at my location. We all go into a frenzy on turning off non essential servers. I'm wondering if there's a better faster way of doing this. So far my plant is a text file with non-essential server names and a vbscript that calls psshutdown for each server with proper credentials. Is there a better way? Maybe some kind of overall management tool that can automate this?
