Computer Hardware Replacement Project

Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

PC life cycle services refer to all the processes, tasks and people required to keep PCs functional and maintain user productivity during the lifetime of PC hardware and software. The life cycle services start just before the PC acquisition phase and continue through disposal and transition to the replacement platform.  These services can be supplied in-house, by PC vendors as part of the original acquisition deal or by third parties. 

As the name implies, PC life cycle services should be viewed cyclically. Many of the phases in the PC's life cycle will blend into each other. For most businesses in developed economies, new PCs are bought to replace established systems. Replacement planning affects when old systems will be ready for retirement as well as budgetary requirements for procurement of the new systems.   (Gartner.com)
