TECHNICAL AND ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT ON ICT ASSETS
The normal Useful Life Cycle of ICT equipment largely depends on its use:
- Long-term (over 36 months): for Servers, Networks and TLC devices;
- Mid-term (about 36 months): for Desktops;
- Short-term (about 24 months): for Laptops and Tablets.
The commercial value after these terms drops from zero to 5 or 10% of the original purchase price.
THE BEST SITUATION FOR A COMPANY
- Desired equipment always available;
- No waste of time and money for purchase and dismantle of equipment at the end of use;
- Better fiscal management of IT spending;
- Cost optimization.
