Reduce hardware costs and support tickets: Hardware life cycle management

In economically turbulent times, companies are increasingly looking for ways to reduce their IT costs without sacrificing efficiency or quality. A key lever here is the optimization of the hardware life cycle. Nexthink offers innovative solutions to help companies manage their hardware efficiently and achieve significant cost savings at the same time.

What is hardware life cycle management?

The hardware life cycle describes the entire life cycle of IT equipment, from procurement and use through to disposal or reuse. Effective optimization of this cycle aims to maximize the use of hardware, avoid unnecessary purchases and reduce the total cost of ownership. Factors such as usage profiles, the condition of the devices and end-user satisfaction play a decisive role in this.

The (cost) benefits of hardware life cycle optimization

1. Extending the useful life of devices: By accurately analyzing device performance and usage data, devices can be used longer before they need to be replaced. This reduces the frequency of new purchases.
2. Avoiding bad investments: Not all end users need the same hardware. A data-based approach helps to make needs-based decisions and avoid unnecessary expenditure.
3. Reduction of maintenance costs: Proactive maintenance strategies and early detection of problems prevent costly repairs and minimize downtime.
4. Increase employee productivity: Satisfied end users working with optimally functioning hardware contribute to higher efficiency and productivity.
5. Sustainability: Longer usage cycles and optimized device disposal help reduce e-waste and improve the company’s environmental footprint.
