This month's signal
Refresh cycles are stretching, and the maintenance bill is where it shows up
Hardware that would have been replaced at year four is now running into year six, and the cost quietly migrates
from the capital line to the support line. The pattern we keep seeing: nobody notices until a warranty lapses
on load-bearing hardware.
Do you know your end-of-life dates? Check out the asset list in your custom portal and sort by expiration
date — it only takes a few minutes to see what falls off in the next two quarters.
