Industry Voice: Rethinking The Hardware Refresh Cycle with Refurbished Hardware

In this whitepaper, we explore the factors shaping IT leaders’ attitudes and decision-making considerations and how organisations they partner with can assist.

As organisations face a new era in IT device management, the upcoming end of support for Windows 10 and the ageing of devices purchased at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic have brought hardware refresh cycles into sharp focus. Many IT leaders find themselves balancing an urgent need for high-performing, secure, and future-proof devices with a growing responsibility to reduce electronic waste and contribute to sustainable practices. Traditional approaches to hardware refreshes - replacing devices outright with brand-new models - can be both financially and environmentally costly.

Refurbished technology is now rapidly gaining acceptance across industries. The increased reliance on refurbished tech is driven not only by cost savings but also by companies’ desire to reduce e-waste and support Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals, thereby aligning technology investments with sustainability objectives.
