Lifecycle Planning for Your Tech Equipment: The Real Cost of Not Having One

Did you know that the lifecycle of school tech equipment is three to five years, based on the device?  Did you also know that failure to replace equipment on schedule has many hidden costs? How confident are you that your school’s tech equipment lifecycle plan minimizes risk, optimizes budget and enables productivity?  

A sound lifecycle plan accounts for phased, ongoing replacement of disparate device lifecycles in a way that aligns with the technology budget and minimizes learning disruptions. Schools with robust lifecycle plans experience lower cybersecurity risk, maintenance costs, and help desk costs, as well as better staff and student productivity and morale. 

TechMD’s upcoming webinar highlights the hidden costs of outdated school tech equipment and steps your school can take today to avoid them.
