Planning and budgeting for hardware and software is essential.

Although we are constantly reminded that the 'newest' technology is the fastest it does not mean having to replace all your equipment every 6 months. We know that technology is constantly being updated and this leads us to feeling pressured into have the latest and fastest computers. Personal expectations of technology, speed, latest software etc. are also a driving force for renewing the oldest machines as more and more staff have computers at home. However, decisions made in the organisation on software should be driven by the services you provide or plan to provide.
