Most business-class desktop PCs or workstations from major manufacturers like HP and IBM are designed to provide three to four years of services without trouble. At the same time, application utilization and user productivity will outstrip the processing capacity in about 18 months. With these factors in mind, it is a good business practice to plan for desktop computer replacement about every three years. This way, desktop PCs will be more likely to work during every planned day of service, and users will be more productive by working with machines that are able to support the desired levels of productivity.

Changing out three or four PCs is not a big deal, but what if your business wants to replace fifty, hundreds or even thousands of computers? How long will it take? Where will the incoming shipment be stored? How will users be affected? How much productivity will be lost while users recreate desktop and menu shortcuts, internet favorites and set options on common business applications? Do you have the staff and time to accomplish the task?
