Beyond the forced upgrade cycle: How are you managing legacy hardware?

Hi everyone,

A couple of days ago we shared the news about our collaboration with Back Market to help reduce global e-waste using ChromeOS Flex. That ties in with the broader conversation around device lifecycles in enterprise IT.

We often see organizations having a strict 3-to-5-year hardware refresh cycle. However, with the rising importance of corporate sustainability goals - and the realization that perfectly good hardware is often discarded just because the legacy OS has become sluggish or unsupported (especially security-wise) -  many teams are beginning to try a different approach to it.

In that spirit, it’d be great to hear your perspectives on how your organization approaches this today and what are the biggest challenges or hesitations you face when trying to extend the life of your fleet?
 

Every fleet has different compliance and performance needs so interested to hear your thoughts and experiences in the comments 💬
