I work for a big soulless Fortune 250 company. Every desk-based employee gets a Dell laptop. Every laptop comes with a licensed, fully equipped latest version of Windows, Office365, 1TB cloud storage, Adobe Acrobat, and even a secure in-house branded version of ChatGPT.
…and that’s just the standard-issue stuff. All of the engineers get their CAD needs met, all the IT people get ServiceNow ITIL licenses, etc. and then there’s all the Windows Server stuff, SAP, Oracle, SalesForce, etc. etc. We pay legit fees for all of it.
Every laptop is “refreshed” (replaced) every 2 years. The retired laptops are security-wiped and donated to public schools.
I’ve been told that our average per-person endpoint IT budget is insaney high. Our company is not unique. Most big mega-corporations do this. They have to.
Yeah, this definitely.
