Cost Optimization
You renew by age, not by need
PCs replaced unnecessarily, unused licenses, idle hardware, oversizing. IT costs rise while waste goes unmeasured.
PCs are replaced even though they work very well
The renewal plan is age-based: 4 years = replacement. Result: struggling 3-year-old PCs stay in service, and perfectly fine 5-year-old PCs get replaced.
Unnecessary purchases (800-1,500 EUR per PC). End-of-life PCs hurting user experience. A poorly allocated budget.
Renewal is based on real state: CPU performance, disk health (SMART), RAM usage, experience score. PCs to renew, cascade to less demanding profiles, and keep are identified.
Expensive licenses are assigned to people who do not use them
2,000 licenses for software at 50 EUR/month. But how many users actually open it? No one knows. Renewal rolls over automatically.
Licenses paid for nothing. A software budget that grows every year without justification.
Real usage is measured: frequency, duration, last open. Licenses unused for X days are flagged for recovery.
Unused PCs stay assigned for months
Departures, role changes, long-term leave. PCs stay on or in storage, assigned to people who no longer use them. No one detects it.
Tied-up hardware. Associated licenses still running. A wrong inventory.
Inactive PCs for X days are detected automatically. The Workplace team can reclaim, reassign, or destock them.
Some applications consume disproportionate resources
Users complain about slowness. Hardware is recent. But one app uses 40% CPU constantly, or antivirus slows every file open.
Lost productivity. Slowness tickets. Premature hardware renewals to compensate for a software issue.
The heaviest applications are identified and ranked by impact on experience. The Workplace team can act: update, configuration, replacement.
High-end PCs for office productivity use
A 1,500 EUR PC with 32 GB RAM and an i7 goes to a profile that only uses Outlook and Excel. The PC uses 15% of its capacity.
500-700 EUR overspend per workstation versus real need. Multiplied across hundreds of endpoints.
Real usage is compared to hardware capacity. Consumption profiles are identified. Future purchases match real need.
