Reading Time: 2 minute Rising hardware costs, ongoing supply chain disruptions, and memory and DRAM shortages are forcing IT leaders to stretch refresh cycles further than ever before. However, those aging servers, laptops and devices sitting in storage may be worth more than you realize. As residual values for legacy data center hardware and end-user…
Reading Time: 2 minute Did You Know: According to Flexera, only 43% organizations have full visibility across their technology regions. Organizations like yours collect detailed insights on costs, usage, and risks. However, these insights rarely influence executive decisions.
