How to Plan a Corporate Device Refresh
A well-managed device refresh starts with asset visibility and clear decisions about reuse, redeployment, resale or controlled disposal.
Plan asset listing, ownership, data handling, assessment, collection and reporting for a laptop or IT asset refresh.
- Asset list completed
- Ownership verified
- Data handling agreed
Build a usable asset list
Combine asset tags, serial numbers, models, users or departments, locations, age, condition and ownership status.
Define data handling
Document who is responsible for backup, account removal, data wiping, chain of custody and required evidence.
Separate assets by outcome
Assets that remain useful may be suitable for redeployment, resale or refurbishment. Regulated assets require an appropriate disposal partner.
Measure the project outcome
Track asset quantities, value recovered, exceptions, completion status and closing documents so management has one reliable record.
