MaintenanceMaintenance and Administration Cycle Segment - Lease OptionsMaintenance and Administration Segment in the Business Technology Life CycleMaintenance and Administration Segment in the Business Technology Life Cycle What happens in this segment? As the Business Technology Life Cycle moves into the Maintenance and Administration segment, most businesses re-enter familiar territory. The tasks connected with this segment are, after all, the primary function of the corporate IT department: system maintenance and administration and asset tracking, etc. To ignore the statement from the IT staff that we do not need assistance with these tacks is self defeating, chances are this assumption most of the time arrives full circle and resulting in problematic issues arising. With acquisition of new system technology challenges are confronted by the IT support staff with additional constraints on maintenance and administrative skills with the powerful new administrative tools that accompany many new technologies can uncover hidden performance issues in older elements of the network. Familiar upgrade paths must be set aside to accommodate new equipment and applications. New tools and metrics must be adopted to verify that the organization is seeing the promised benefit from its investment in new systems. Together, these seemingly minute adjustments can become a considerable obstacle to the return to business-as-usual following implementation. Conceivably the most challenging of all is the increasingly thorny issue of disposal. IT equipment contains many exotic elements now classified as toxic waste; the days of throwing broken PC's, monitors and peripherals into the trash are gone forever. Outdated IT equipment has value to someone, by providing a path for disposal a green solution and profit at the end of leases is always good. But considerable expertise is required to identify the best buyer and realize the highest value. Most companies simply do not have the time or resources to get more than token value from the equipment they have replaced. What specifically is involved? The Maintenance and Administration segment of the Business Technology Life Cycle involves largely familiar tasks:
By including an array of solutions utilizing: Asset Tracking Asset tracking is one of the most important jobs in corporate IT. It is also one of the most painstaking, and among the most undervalued. The level of bookkeeping required for effective asset tracking is simply too much for typical IT department resources to keep up, and little-known requirements from individual vendors can lead to costly oversights. Our leasing partner helps our customers with a user-friendly asset and lease management tool. This online toolset allows clients to keep abreast of asset inventory, upgrades, and even maintenance contracts effortlessly, and provides instant access to lease and other key documents. Maintenance Agreements Our leasing partner provides cutting edge financing plans which combine the substantial cost savings of multi-year agreements with the convenience of periodic payments. With the one of leading providers in spares, replacement parts, and guaranteed reliable unused and refurbished mid-range and network systems. Technology Updates and Upgrades Updates and upgrades can be a real headache for companies that lease their IT equipment. Most leases simply do not accommodate these standard-practice changes. Technology Refresh Programs and Quarterly Takedown leases are flexible and distinctively measured to recognize the need for upgrades and even include the associated costs into the existing lease. Replacement PCs and additional hardware can be accommodated easily, and the innovative residual terms allow like-for-like equipment credits for PCs. Rather than charge penalties for a lost or damaged PC at lease-end, we can accept a different machine with the same specs for full credit. End-of-life Valuation Today many businesses overpay for leased equipment, and the reason is simple: the lease undervalues the equipment at the end of the term. Our leasing partner allows us to set end-of-life valuation with unparalleled accuracy. This means that leases are written without the “fudge factors” commonly used by others, and our customers enjoy lower lease payments. Our leasing partner is one of the few technology lesser who actually expect to get leased equipment back at the end of the lease, and don’t artificially deflate the value to make at end-of-lease purchase. Again, our customers can enjoy lower payments, and avoid the hassle and expense of disposing of old equipment. Equipment Trade-ins A leading provider in used-equipment and you are able to obtain real value from aging systems by recognize the value in the form of trade-in allowances. Others prefer to replace equipment on consignment, which can yield a slightly better return in exchange for postponing payment until the equipment is sold.
