How ViadexOne enables IT teams to track, visualise, and act on carbon emissions using Nexthink-powered telemetry. The demo explains how to generate sustainability dashboards using real device data, prioritise action by power consumption, and align digital workplace practices with ESG initiatives.
Track Carbon Impact with Real-Time Device Insights
Real-World Use and Insight
Sustainability in IT is no longer optional — it’s an operational imperative. Without accurate insight into device-level energy consumption and idle time, IT departments can’t contribute meaningfully to green initiatives.
ViadexOne helps IT leaders:
- Identify devices with excessive power drain
- Analyse uptime and idle patterns across global fleets
- Flag hardware for refresh based on energy inefficiency
- Export sustainability reports for ESG frameworks
- Align digital workplace operations with carbon reduction goals
One customer case study showed that nearly 60% of their laptops were underutilised overnight, costing thousands in unnecessary energy spend. ViadexOne surfaced these inefficiencies and enabled smarter refresh decisions aligned with green IT policies.
