Ensure Optimal Performance
Sadly, nothing lasts forever. Software, hardware, and infrastructure have expected “end of life” dates. They slow down, stop working, become too expensive to maintain, are unpleasant to deal with, and could put your business at risk.
You need a robust IT lifecycle management approach to maximize your ROI and staff productivity. Most firms gradually acquire IT assets, making it difficult to track their lifecycles. To maximize each phase, you must manage and monitor your IT.
Some Assets to Consider in Your IT Lifecycle Management Plan:
- Desktop PCs
- Mobile devices
- Servers
- Routers, switches, and other network hardware
- Operating systems
- Business-critical applications
Lifecycle Management Stages
IT lifecycle management involves choosing the right technology for your business, maintaining it, and planning for upgrades and replacements.
Procurement
IT lifecycles begin with technology purchases. Before buying, we will help you evaluate your IT infrastructure before planning what assets you need to acquire.
Deployment
After buying, you will need to install and integrate your assets. Deployment involves scheduling, testing, setup, and inventory.
Management
Good management involves monitoring, maintenance, backup, compliance, and financial management. This is key to extending the life your infrastructure.
Decommissioning
The final stage involves removing technological assets once replaced, including sanitization, asset removal, and disposal/lease returns.
