Enterprise & Large Business
For large global enterprises, departmental differentiation (such as production, marketing, design, services, engineering and transactional tasks) can lead to a variety of needs that must be taken into consideration when planning hardware purchases. Product specifications, functionality, after-sales service and manageability must all be juggled to try and achieve the lowest total cost of ownership, while providing the most efficient configurations over the working lifetime of the equipment. Security considerations and the needs of individual users are also crucial factors that need to be assessed by MIS departments.
