Written by Workwize Team | Nov 8, 2024 3:00:00 AM

Imagine this: your employees' laptop is slowing down, the battery lasts barely a couple of hours, and every meeting involves a ‘quick’ restart that wastes precious time.

Does this sound familiar? Outdated devices do more than frustrate—they drain productivity, increase security risks, increase costs, and even chip away at employee morale.

This is where a device refresh program comes in. This isn't just an upgrade—it's a proactive approach to ensuring your team always has the tools to be productive.

Here’s everything you need to know about refreshing your organization’s devices.

TLDR; 

  • A hardware refresh cycle is necessary to stay updated. IT leaders should plan now for a PC fleet refresh to ensure no loss of productivity or weakened security.

  • Older devices are often ill-equipped for modern workloads and not eligible to perform security patches, hence increased threats.

  • Buying new devices is an expensive affair in terms of maintenance; switching to device refresh is cost-effective and reduces your overall total cost of ownership (TCO)

  • Three years vs. five years refresh cycle. Which is better? To lead to greater employee productivity and satisfaction

  • Workwize automates the refresh process, from planning and budgeting to procurement, deployment, utilization, maintenance, decommissioning, and disposal.
