The Challenge

The purchase price is only one line of what equipment costs. Configuration, deployment, support, failures, energy, security and end of life often weigh more. We look at the whole cycle.

Purchases compared on unit price, not on lifetime cost
Forced renewals: hardware end of support, software contracts that auto-renew
Mixed fleets that are costly to configure, secure and maintain
An improvised end of life: data poorly erased, residual value lost

We work on every line of cost, not just on price.
