Upgrades

"To upgrade or not to upgrade?", that’s a big question. There are many considerations involved in answering that question.

A software vendor's upgrade or new product development can easily make your expensive hardware obsolete long before the three-year depreciation time has been reached. And it’s not uncommon for new hardware to obsolete old software all the way down to the Network Operating System and Network Wiring.

Much depends on the firm’s Technology Plan and commitment to following that plan. Everything in the Computer Technology industry is constantly changing and, thus, so is the rules and guidelines we all use to make management decisions.

During recent years, two firms in the same industry found that their existing computer system needed to be upgraded. One firm elected to purchase new computers and software while the other firm chose to upgrade their old equipment and continue using their existing software. Now, three years later, it is clear that the firm that upgraded their existing equipment made the better choice. The firm that upgraded now has better equipment than the firm that purchased state-of-the-arts hardware and software. Conversely, we also know of firms who have tried to continually upgrade antiquated hardware, which proved to be a more costly, inefficient choice in the long run.

The right thing to do at any point in time is never clear on the surface, but an in-depth analysis will usually guide decisions makers in the right direction.

It always pays to get pertinent facts and expert advice when considering a project as expensive as upgrading an existing Local Area Network and its peripherals.
