Frequently asked questions

What is lifecycle management services?

Lifecycle management services support you and your technology, whether you wish to refresh your fleet, manage what you have or simply recycle your equipment responsibly. 

What’s the value of lifecycle management to my business?

The value of lifecycle management comes in the form of increased software and hardware utilisation, clearer insights, a stronger security posture, waste reduction, time savings, accurate IT estate inventory and more efficient licensing. It even comes from putting a recycled business device into the hands of a child who could not ordinarily afford one.

What’s the difference between lifecycle management and asset management?

Lifecycle management helps optimise the full potential and value of your IT assets at each stage of its lifecycle from procurement to retirement, whilst asset management helps recycle or dispose of obsolete IT assets securely and sustainably.
