Best Practices for Provisioning PCs
Organizations that have the lowest cost of ownership have standardized hardware and reduced image counts. This is because the largest portion of the IT budget is the labor associated with provisioning and managing PCs. According to IDC, image management can cost organizations $25-35 per PC annually.
From a management perspective, it would be much simpler and more cost effective to manage one PC model, one operating system and the same applications loaded on every PC. But due to departmental requirements, legacy applications and refresh cycles this is not realistic.
A more realistic option would be to reduce the number of images under management. An organization with standardized desktop configurations have fewer application conflicts and security vulnerabilities. In turn, service levels are improved and organizations become more agile.
Maintaining a standardized desktop and choosing the right imaging software to deploy your desktop images could provide substantial cost savings for your organization.
