Does your organisation’s hardware estate meet its actual needs?
Cloud PCS Hardware Assessment provides organisations with a clear and reliable view of their physical device estate, including device quantities, utilisation, lifecycle status, locations, financing models, and replacement needs. The assessment identifies opportunities to reduce costs, improve resource utilisation, support the circular economy and ESG goals, and prepare the organisation for a transition to a modern Cloud PC environment. With accurate hardware data, organisations can make smarter, more sustainable, and forward-looking decisions.
Benefits of the Hardware Assessment
Cloud PCS Hardware Assessment gives the organisation a clear and measurable view of its physical device estate. The assessment provides transparency, predictability, and security for hardware lifecycle planning. It identifies opportunities for improvement, optimises resource utilisation, and creates a reliable foundation for data-driven decision-making. This allows the organisation to develop its hardware asset practices systematically and improve both operational efficiency and the employee experience.
Cost savings
The assessment identifies hardware that exceeds actual needs, remains unused, or creates unnecessary licensing, maintenance, support, and recycling costs. This helps the organisation avoid unnecessary investments and allocate resources more effectively. Verified hardware asset data also supports financial planning, budgeting, and future procurement decisions.
Circular economy and sustainable development
The Hardware Assessment supports sustainability goals by providing a data-driven foundation for hardware reuse, reassignment, recycling, and responsible procurement. Knowing which devices are in use, where they are located, and when they will reach the end of their lifecycle helps the organisation maximise asset utilisation. This reduces environmental impact and supports ESG reporting and responsible business practices.
Optimised utilisation
The assessment helps ensure that the right devices are assigned to the right users and business needs. This improves productivity and user satisfaction while reducing unnecessary hardware purchases. The collected and analysed data also supports the development of structured lifecycle planning, procurement policies, and operating models.
Readiness for the Cloud PC service
The Hardware Assessment provides a strong foundation for evaluating the organisation’s readiness for the Cloud PC service. Once the current hardware estate is understood and optimised, the organisation can plan the transition to a modern, scalable, and secure computing environment. This reduces transition risk and helps ensure that the Cloud PC service is designed around actual user, device, and business requirements.
