Particularly in the case of special or very expensive systems, it is not just a matter of licensing these devices correctly. In most cases, there are other subtleties to consider when it comes to servers or network components.
Large IT systems with several servers can make a big dent in a company’s budget. That’s why companies tend not to incur the costs all at once at the beginning of the investment, but instead opt to lease the equipment.
The advantage of this is that a real chunk of money does not have to be invested all at once and this capital can be used elsewhere. On the other hand, it also increases the administrative effort, because every lease includes a leasing contract with a predefined term.
In the dreams of every IT manager, the new acquisition goes like this: All data from the old systems is backed up, then all the old equipment is disposed of at the same time, the new equipment is delivered at the same time, and all the new systems start their exciting careers in a sparkling clean IT department on the same day.
Hello, wake up!
The reality is different. Unless a Bill Gates is launching a new company and has all the equipment retooled at once by a deadline, such a dream usually remains one.
IT grows, sometimes more, sometimes less. And systems are often acquired or replaced on different dates. To make a long story short, the terms of warranties, maintenance and leasing contracts naturally differ from one another.
And if these different terms are not properly assigned to the systems, once they expire, nasty surprises can quickly arise.
