Replacing one employee's computer is usually manageable.

Replacing 10, 20, or 50 computers while keeping everyone productive is a different story.

A business hardware refresh involves much more than ordering new devices. Someone needs to identify what should be replaced, determine appropriate specifications, create a budget, purchase the equipment, configure it, migrate users, schedule installations, update inventory, and securely retire the old hardware.

Waiting until a computer, server, or network device fails might seem like a way to get the most value from your technology. In reality, running equipment until it can go no further can turn a predictable expense into an urgent problem.

Technology does not last forever, and good IT asset management is not only about knowing what equipment you have. It is also about knowing when you should plan to replace it.
