IT Lifecycle Management Provider

ThingsAt is a specialised IT Lifecycle Management provider. We manage the entire lifecycle of an organisation’s IT assets, from procurement to disposal. This includes several key phases: planning, acquisition, deployment, maintenance, and retirement.

In the planning phase, we assess the company’s needs and create a strategy to align technology investments with business objectives. During acquisition, we help source and purchase hardware and software, ensuring cost-effectiveness and compatibility.

Deployment involves setting up and configuring IT assets, ensuring they integrate seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. Maintenance includes regular updates, patches, and troubleshooting to keep systems running smoothly and securely. This phase also covers asset tracking and performance monitoring to optimise usage and extend the lifespan of the equipment.



The retirement phase handles the safe and compliant disposal or recycling of outdated technology, protecting sensitive data and meeting environmental regulations.

By managing these stages, ThingsAt helps businesses reduce costs, improve efficiency, and maintain compliance with regulatory standards. Our expertise ensures that IT resources are used effectively, minimising downtime and maximising the return on investment in technology. This holistic approach supports the overall business strategy, allowing companies to focus on their core operations without being bogged down by IT complexities.
