IT Lifecycle Planning for 2026: Building Resilience, Security and Sustainability
As organisations prepare for the year ahead, technology remains the foundation of operational success. Yet, one area often overlooked is IT lifecycle planning. Without a structured approach, businesses risk escalating costs, compliance failures and growing environmental impact.
At Gentium Tech International, we deliver end-to-end IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) and lifecycle management solutions that enable organisations to plan strategically, operate securely and meet sustainability objectives across global operations.
Why IT Lifecycle Planning is Critical
The technology landscape is evolving rapidly, and so are the challenges:
E-Waste Growth: More than 50 million tonnes of e-waste are generated globally each year globally, projected to reach 74 million tonnes by 2030 (Global E-Waste Monitor).
Data Security Risks: Improper disposal of IT assets can result in data breaches, with the average cost now exceeding £3.5 million per incident (IBM Data Breach Report 2025).
Regulatory Compliance: ESG targets and data protection standards such as GDPR and ISO are now integral to corporate governance.
Organisations that adopt a proactive IT lifecycle strategy will reduce risk, optimise costs and strengthen sustainability credentials.

We manage IT assets from deployment through to secure retirement, ensuring compliance and value recovery at every stage. Our services include:

Driving Measurable Impact
According to Gartner, organisations that implement structured IT lifecycle management can reduce total cost of ownership by up to 30 per cent. In addition, recycling one million laptops saves energy equivalent to powering 3,500 homes for a year (UK Environmental Agency).
By partnering with Gentium Tech, businesses achieve operational resilience, regulatory compliance and measurable sustainability outcomes.
