The vast diversity of the various technology solutions — such as in-house, contained systems running exclusively on the cloud, or a hybrid system comprising both types — needs to be considered. You need to address ever-increasing security concerns, along with the myriad of mobile devices that may access your network and data via employees’ personal devices.

These various aspects create a very complex technological environment that can be difficult to manage effectively. A thorough Managed Lifecycle Obsolescence plan will help you identify risk areas early on, allow you time to find cost-effective solutions, and minimize any operational interruptions.

Typically chief information officers (CIOs) are focused on evaluating technology from the vantage point of increasing opportunities and growth and generating business strategies to capitalize on new or improved technology. Rarely are they looking at which server updates are necessary or which assets are becoming obsolete like laptops and software. The impetus to ensure a secure network environment, buffer against cyber attacks, and find better ways to store data, including insights and analysis, also takes a great deal of attention. The unfortunate result is that operating and maintaining the current network and technological infrastructure has become a lower priority.
