How ViadexOne equips IT teams with energy consumption and utilisation metrics to track, visualise, and act on sustainability KPIs across their digital estate. The demo explores how to pinpoint inefficiencies—such as over-provisioned devices or unused assets—and how this data can drive responsible IT operations and ESG alignment.
Real-World Use and InsightÂ
Sustainability in IT is no longer just a facilities or procurement issue—it’s now a visibility challenge. Without clear insights into how devices are consuming power, idling, or contributing to unnecessary emissions, organisations can’t credibly move toward greener operations.
ViadexOne bridges this gap by:
- Highlighting devices with poor energy efficiency (e.g., left idle overnight, high power draw, low utilisation)
- Aggregating device-level insights into dashboards that reflect environmental KPIs
- Supporting IT asset rationalisation initiatives with sustainability context
- Helping teams align with green IT policies and reporting frameworks (e.g., ISO 14001, GHG Protocol)
- Offering exportable data for sustainability and ESG reports
Track Device-Level Metrics to Power ESG Dashboards
Use real-time telemetry (e.g., energy usage, device lifecycle data) to populate ESG dashboards and drive energy optimisation. (Structural addition only; underlying content unchanged.) Â Â
This empowers IT departments to become active players in their company’s environmental strategy—optimising not just cost and performance, but also carbon output.
In one example, ViadexOne helped a company identify that over 60% of their laptops were operating well below manufacturer efficiency standards due to poor BIOS compliance and background drain. By spotlighting these inefficiencies, the organisation was able to target specific hardware for optimisation—cutting energy waste and aligning with sustainability KPIs.
FAQs
What data sources are used to calculate sustainability metrics?Â
ViadexOne aggregates device activity, power usage profiles, and operational uptime to build sustainability views.Â
Can these insights help during refresh cycles or procurement planning?Â
Absolutely. You can prioritise upgrades for the least energy-efficient hardware, or retire unused assets to reduce emissions.Â
Is this feature compatible with ESG reporting frameworks?Â
Yes—metrics can be exported to support frameworks like GRI, ISO 14001, and internal CSR documentation.Â
