Unlock additional value from your existing IT
If you’re like most businesses, you use 70% of your current IT resources to manage legacy infrastructure, and the other 30% to implement new technology.1 IT asset lifecycle solutions from HPE Financial Services help you extract additional value from your existing IT investments or move to new technology more effectively. We’ll develop a custom plan to help you optimise and repurpose your existing IT investments – or convert them into capital that funds your transition to new innovations.
Optimise your existing IT investments
Extract the full value from your existing IT assets when you redeploy them in another area of your business. Our vast, multi-vendor asset pool can supply end-of-service-life hardware components that keep your legacy-locked hardware or proprietary systems running longer, or even expand them.
Transition to new technologies
Unlock the IT currency in your existing investments to fund business-critical technology refreshes. Our remarketing operations for your unneeded equipment, coupled with savings through short-term and proof-of-concept hardware rental vs. purchase, help extract value to accelerate innovation.
Adapt for changing business needs
Build a flexible plan that spans both the globe and the IT equipment lifecycle with a one-stop shop for asset lifecycle services – tailored to your specific use case. Our platform of global capabilities delivers consistent, secure services around the world to help you reuse, recycle, or destroy decommissioned IT assets.
