Bet you a coffee

There’s a cupboard of old laptops in your office.

Scroll to see how it got there. One question at the end, and the coffee’s yours either way.

01

Getting a new laptop is easy.

Ordered, enrolled in the MDM, on the desk by Monday. Every company built that half of the job into a system.

02

Getting rid of the old one has no system.

So it gets wiped and goes on a shelf. It was never urgent, so it never made the top of the list.

03

So the cupboard fills.

A new starter here, a refresh there. Each one leaves a laptop behind. Eighteen months on, there’s no room left.

04

You’ve got a provider. They collect.

That part works. But before they can book it in, someone has to tell them what’s going, serial by serial.

05

So IT does the work first.

Everything comes out of the cupboard, before a single device is collected.
