What is desktop lifecycle management?

Desktop lifecycle management (DLM) is an umbrella term for asset management, stock control and equipment deployment services, which can be outsourced to help your team unleash its full potential. Many organisations struggle with balancing their day-to-day IT support and long-term projects, whilst managing the implementation of new computer systems and the disposal of legacy IT equipment.

Another key challenge for businesses is finding the space for storing IT equipment before deploying new systems and rollouts. This is another service that Vohkus can take off your hands. We look after storage and stock holding responsibilities, removing the headache of sourcing space to store equipment before it’s deployed to users. This includes the insurance of assets that are held but not rolled out.

Vohkus offers end-to-end workstation lifecycle management solutions and bespoke service packages, depending on your business needs.
