IT equipment lifecycle management is at the heart of IT asset management. For asset managers, it is key to helping the organizations they work for increase productivity while making informed decisions on the IT needs of the organization.
When done correctly, IT equipment lifecycle management makes it easier to make smart purchasing decisions by evaluating the different resources and life cycle stages of the IT equipment currently being used. For example, if a particular asset is about to reach the end of its life cycle, the IT asset manager has more lead time to order and replenish instead of making decisions under the gun.
The ability to forecast your organization’s needs better, make informed purchasing decisions, make proactive decisions when it comes to replenishing resources, and improve the overall quality of IT services are just a few of the benefits of having a mature IT equipment lifecycle management solution.
A successful IT asset lifecycle management strategy requires a shared vision among all organizational levels, especially those at the executive level on the IT team. It requires a strategic approach to making decisions, conducting business, communicating information, and using IT assets. This will allow an organization to examine the assets it currently possesses, evaluate future costs and values, and then make decisions based on knowledge instead of being forced to make decisions under the gun.
