How the “Right to Repair” Movement Applies to Your IT Roadmap Choices
Current OEM policies and support models are designed to benefit the vendors and pose major roadblocks to innovation. Organizations are spending most of their budget, resources, and time on “keep the lights on” maintenance instead of strategic initiatives that drive competitiveness and growth. The “Right to Repair” movement changes that paradigm, putting CIOs and their teams back in the driver’s seat when it comes to decisions about their legacy IT estate.
