Questions about technology trends

Connectivity and cybersecurity?

Connected devices bring software support, cybersecurity and data ownership into the purchase. Each has a cost and a contract clause, and each is easy to leave out of the business case.

Reuse and remanufacture?

Refurbished and remanufactured devices now appear in procurement scoring, with documentation to match. The claim is only as good as the refurbishment record behind it.

Market size and growth?

Growth figures describe a market, not your market. Use them to sanity-check a forecast, then replace the global number with your own case mix or territory data.

What the numbers change?

A growing category means more suppliers and faster depreciation; a consolidating one means longer lead times. Both change the buying strategy more than they change the price.

AI, connectivity and smart devices?

Connected equipment changes service, cybersecurity and data ownership. Those three have budget lines, and they are the parts of a technology decision that procurement is least prepared for.
