what are the standard refresh cycles for cpa firm technology equipment? well, it depends on the type of equipment.<\/p>\n

as a physical asset, hardware replacement must usually be planned for in advance so that you\u2019re not scrambling to replace it after it fails. this proactive replacement is often referred to as performing a \u201chardware refresh.\u201d \u00a0hardware refreshes are often driven by the risk of failure of a particular hardware asset.\u00a0 different types of hardware have varying risks of failure as they age. for example, laptops have a relatively high risk of failure once they’re four years old, but\u00a0they are also moderately easy to replace. on the other hand, servers are generally unlikely to fail in their first three years of use, but they can be expensive and difficult to replace.<\/p>\n
