What is Technology Lifecycle Management?

Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) is the process of managing the entire lifespan of technology assets within an organization, from acquisition and deployment to maintenance, upgrades, and eventual retirement or disposal. It helps organizations optimize costs, improve efficiency, and reduce risks by ensuring that technology resources are up-to-date and aligned with business needs. TLM also involves planning for technology refreshes, tracking asset performance, and ensuring compliance with security and regulatory requirements. Proper technology lifecycle management can lead to better budgeting, reduced downtime, and more strategic technology investments.
