Only 10 Months Left to Upgrade to Windows 11: Is Your IT Strategy Ready?

With just 10 months left to upgrade to Windows 11, it's time to consider your strategy for the transition. While the software upgrade itself comes at no additional cost, there are some key hardware requirements (you can check the full list here) that could lead to higher costs, especially if you're planning to purchase brand new devices.

Benefits of Opting for Brand New Equipment

If you're considering new devices, here are a few reasons why they might be the right choice:

• Latest Technology: The obvious advantage of purchasing new equipment is that you'll get the most up-to-date technology, ensuring peak performance and longevity.
• Windows 11 Ready: New devices come pre-installed with Windows 11, so you'll be ready for the upgrade without any hassle.
• Future-Proofing: You'll be set for future versions of Windows, keeping your system secure and up-to-date for years to come.
• Manufacturer Warranty: With a 3-year manufacturer warranty, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that any issues within the first few years will be covered.

However, the downside is clear: the cost. Purchasing brand new equipment can be expensive, especially if you need to make a large capital investment upfront. If you're considering a full hardware refresh, the cost can add up quickly. There are alternatives to purchasing new equipment outright that can help you spread those costs over time. One such option is an IT subscription model—an affordable solution that allows you to upgrade without the upfront capital expenditure. And yes, we offer exactly that!

In addition, we provide a discount on your device purchase by investing a residual value in the equipment. At the end of your subscription, we take the device back, refurbish it, and put it back on the market for another subscription cycle. This approach helps reduce your IT costs by up to 20%.

Benefits of Opting for Refurbished Equipment

On the other hand, refurbished equipment offers a range of benefits that might make it a more cost-effective solution for your business:

• Cost-Effective: Refurbished devices can cost up to 40% less than their brand new counterparts, providing significant savings without sacrificing quality.
• Windows 11 Ready: Our refurbished devices come with Windows 11 pre-installed, meaning you're ready for the upgrade without any additional setup.
• Ready for the Future: Like new devices, refurbished models will be ready for future versions of Windows, ensuring your system remains compatible with upcoming updates.
• 2nd Life IT Quality: Our 2nd Life IT devices look and perform as good as new, having gone through a rigorous refurbishment process to ensure they meet high standards.
• Full Warranty Support: When you opt for a 2nd Life IT device, you'll also benefit from warranty support for the entire length of your IT subscription, usually 3 years—so you can rest easy knowing you're covered.

With refurbished equipment, you not only get access to high-quality devices but also enjoy substantial cost savings, allowing your business to stay competitive without breaking the bank.
