Device Lifecycle Management

Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) is the process of overseeing a device—from its initial planning and acquisition, through deployment, maintenance, and updates, until its eventual disposal or replacement. It ensures devices operate efficiently, stays secure with updates, and maintains value over time. Proper DLM helps organizations optimize costs, reduce downtime, and extend device usability by managing everything from procurement to end-of-life recovery in a structured, strategic way.
