Modern businesses need data centres to host their applications and data. But demand is increasing every year, and data centres could use 20% of global electricity by 2030. How are we reducing our share?

We’re discontinuing on-premise products at a steady clip and have various internal programs and communities that help Visma companies move their products to public cloud.
One of the simplest ways we can reduce the environmental impact of hosting is by using Hyperscale Computing (HC). As its name implies, HC is a hyper-efficient method that many data centres use to process data. HC monitors traffic and scales resources up or down, dynamically responding to fluctuating demand. That means we use only the resources we need, when we need them.
We could technically use data centres anywhere in the world, but that’s not sustainable. Instead, we choose regions based on these factors:
While Microsoft and Google are more ambitious with sustainability overall, we can’t use them in countries where they’re not present. And since they’re US-based, GDPR compliance requires more work. That said, Europe still lacks viable alternatives.
For a software system to be sustainable, it has to produce maximum value while minimising energy and hardware resources. This requires us to understand and manage the economics of the cloud – not just for cost but also resource optimisation. So we work to identify unused resources, shut them down, and even delete them when needed.
All Visma companies on the public cloud have access to Apptio’s Cloudability tool, which analyses our cloud architecture and recommends improvements for speed, cost, and quality. We also have the Public Cloud Architecture Assessment, an internal evaluation that determines the quality and readiness of any Visma company’s cloud architecture.
The sun doesn’t always shine and the wind doesn’t always blow. That makes renewable energy harder to count on than fossil or nuclear energy. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still harness more of it in our pursuit of 24/7 carbon-free energy.The amount of renewable energy in the electricity grid often varies by time and location. So we’re becoming better at adjusting to that variability through demand shifting – that is, running services where and when that renewable energy is available.
We’re piloting demand shifting in the first half of 2023.
Software can’t run without hardware. And the hardware Visma owns – our computers, monitors, phones and other devices – is responsible for nearly 11% of our total emissions. But we need to look closely: not all hardware is created equal when it comes to emissions, and we should replace it as infrequently as possible.
We’re creating a blueprint for hardware decisions, where reducing consumption is our top priority. This means prolonging our hardware’s lifespan through repair programs and employee education, while ensuring that any new hardware we do purchase has a comparatively low footprint. Our first hardware strategy will be published in 2023.

Our DNA is filled with the passion for progress done by experiments. The richness of innovations comes when multiple teams across Visma are keen in making the best experience for our customers. Then with sharing the best practises we can scale the best ones.
To ensure that our products and services meet the highest security standards, we have developed the Visma Application Security Program (VASP) and Visma Cloud Delivery Model (VCDM).
Our two key metrics in our operations are product NPS and employee engagement score. By focusing in creating great work place and engagement, we can really see high customer satisfaction on our software.
