Inventory and ownership
Record the devices within scope, their users, key software and support status. Define who maintains the inventory so that useful information stays aligned with the equipment actually in use.
IT support & management
IT device lifecycle management
Manage business laptops and desktops from purchase and setup through to replacement. Strata Digital helps you build a clearer device inventory, standardise everyday administration and plan the cost and timing of equipment changes.
Built around your business
A better plan for every device
A device estate grows one purchase at a time, but it needs to be managed as a whole. Without an accurate picture of ownership, age and software, the business can end up paying for unused licences, supporting inconsistent equipment and replacing important devices only after they fail.
We connect the inventory with the events that change it: a new starter, a role change, a repair, an office move or a leaver. The resulting process gives managers a clearer view of what is available, what needs attention and what should be budgeted for next.
The work behind the outcome
What we help you put in place
Procurement and setup
Agree practical device standards for different roles. Consider application requirements, mobility, accessories and support arrangements, then use an approved setup process before equipment is handed to a user.
Maintenance and change
Bring routine updates, configuration changes and device health into an agreed management process. Record exceptions where an application or operational constraint prevents a device from following the normal standard.
Reuse and retirement
Plan reassignment, return and retirement before the last working day or replacement date. Confirm how business information will be retained and what evidence is required for secure data removal and disposal.
From the first conversation to handover
How the work takes shape
Establish the baseline
Compare available records with the devices your people use. Identify missing ownership, unsupported systems and equipment that needs immediate attention.
Make the process repeatable
Connect ordering, setup, user changes and returns with named business owners. Keep approval and handover steps clear enough for managers to follow.
Plan the next cycle
Build a replacement view based on condition, compatibility and role requirements. Review it alongside budgets and forthcoming changes to business applications.
Your proposal sets out the systems, deliverables, responsibilities and service arrangements included. We agree these before work begins.

Your questions about
IT device lifecycle management
Something else on your mind?
Talk to usCan you work with equipment we already own?
Yes. We begin with the current estate and its support requirements. Existing devices can remain where they meet the agreed needs; the review identifies the reasons for any recommended changes.
Can you help with new starters and leavers?
Yes. Device allocation, application access, return arrangements and data handover can form part of the lifecycle process. Responsibilities between IT, HR and line managers are agreed before it is put into use.
Do you sell devices on a fixed package?
Equipment and commercial arrangements are selected for the roles and requirements involved. Any purchasing, leasing, warranty or replacement terms are set out in a proposal rather than assumed from the management service.
