Infrastructure Lifecycle Management and Logistics

Computacenter helps organisations remove the cost, complexity and risk associated with the infrastructure supply chain by simplifying procurement, lifecycle management and logistics.

Business Challenge

Selecting the most appropriate technology to meet business needs can be a time-consuming process, fraught with technology, business and financial challenges. Environmental goals, total cost of ownership, business agility and user productivity can all be impacted by IT procurement and lifecycle management decisions.

Choosing and procuring the right technology is just the beginning of the IT supply chain challenge. Organisations also need to ensure effective asseting, configuration, deployment and disposal while establishing technology standards and maintaining continuity of supply. Asset disposal can be particularly difficult and costly given the legislative requirements around data protection and recycling.

To successfully address all these challenges, organisations require a set of diverse skills, systems and processes. These are often expensive to establish internally, which means organisations must look to a trusted IT services and solutions provider to partially or fully meet their lifecycle and logistics needs.

Computacenter Solution

Computacenter can assist with product selection and introduction, providing advance notification of product transitions so you can make decisions ahead of time and plan to accommodate change. Once products reach retirement, Computacenter can assist with the removal and disposal of unwanted assets, leveraging any residual value and ensuring environmentally compliant disposal. We can help you:

• Streamline procurement: The Computacenter Recommends portfolio reduces the risk, cost and complexity of buying new technology by providing you with access to pre-selected products. We also offer a Green Advisory Service to help you choose the most energy efficient IT systems.
  
  
• Simplify logistics: Computacenter can ensure that new IT devices are configured with specific builds, recorded in asset databases and delivered promptly to site. This reduces the time to commission technology on-site, increasing value and reducing operational impact. We offer a range of logistics solutions from next day delivery to a guaranteed timed delivery.

Key Benefit

Computacenter’s Infrastructure Lifecycle Management and Logistics services enable customers to maximise their investment in new technology and maintain supply chain efficiency. This will facilitate:

• Cost reduction: Simplified IT procurement reduces the administrative overhead and associated costs. Improved lifecycle management minimises the total cost of ownership for infrastructure, including recycling and redeployment schemes for redundant technology assets.
  
  
• Risk avoidance: By selecting the right technology for your organisation and ensuring rapid access to new assets, there will be less risk of business disruption. Standardisation of builds will reduce the risk of support issues while early visibility of product changes can ensure seamless transition and the continuity of supply.
  
  
• Environmental goals: Computacenter will help you understand and minimise the environmental impact of both new and existing IT assets. This will enable your organisation to meet internal green objectives and regulatory requirements, such as WEEE and RoHS.
