Many businesses run into problems with the lifespan of the technology that they use. A common mistake that is often made is to assume the lifespan of a PC is six to ten years. Though it is completely plausible that your PC will run for that long, it is very likely it will need repairs - repairs that cost more than a new system. On top of this bad news, worse, older, and obsolete hardware is less efficient, increases downtime likelihood, feeds staff and customer frustration, endangers sales, and threatens other lost opportunities.
