One of the best ways to budget for IT is to be able to fix your costs year in and year out. Lifecycle management allows you to budget in advance by plotting out the replacement cycle of all your hardware and software. By incorporating this type of plan, spike purchases can be avoided and infrastructure can be rolled out in a controlled fashion on a controlled budget.
Computers keep improving in performance while prices keep falling. Both the expected cost of replacement and the obsolescence of hardware and software can be reasonably predicted 3 or more years down the road. Entire purchasing and support programs can be built around this knowledge to allow your business to reliably predict and budget the costs of maintaining and upgrading your existing environment over an extended period of time, so that it is kept up to date on a continuous basis to meet your changing business needs.
