Leasing computer equipment may be an option if you need to purchase a significant amount of computer equipment but don’t want to invest the funds and incur the costs upfront.

When purchasing computer equipment for your business, there are some decisions to make like desktop vs laptop or Mac vs Windows PC. However, when it comes to cost, you don’t want to buy the least expensive (aka cheapest) computer available nor do you necessarily need to buy the most expensive computer available.

If you have compatible/supported non-live production workstations which you can use to test and evaluate major software updates/upgrades before deploying those updates/upgrades to live production workstations, this would be the ideal way to go.

Deploying critical updates, bug and security fixes/patches can be tricky as you need to weigh the benefits of immediately deploying these updates with the risks of potential incompatibility with existing software and hardware and the potential of these updates creating new or unexpected problems within your environment.

While you may feel inclined to update/upgrade software as soon as it’s released/available, you’ll want to exercise proper due care especially when updating/upgrading software on live production workstations for your business.

Businesses need to routinely invest in, upgrade and/or replace older, obsolete and unsupported technologies.
