Managing aging hardware, ensuring device security, and supporting a hybrid workforce are already monumental tasks—so how can IT departments keep up without burning out? Intel’s solution brief, [“How Automated PC Refresh Projects Save Time and Money for Overburdened IT Organizations”](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/851739/how-automated-pc-refresh-projects-save-time-and-money-for-overburdened-it-organizations.html), offers a timely and practical answer: **automating PC refresh projects with [Laplink's PCmover Enterprise](https://enterprise.laplink.com?hsLang=en)**. ### The Case for Automating the PC Lifecycle The traditional manual approach to PC upgrades is expensive, time-consuming, and often disruptive. Intel makes the case that automating the PC refresh cycle isn’t just about convenience—it’s about strategic advantage. By streamlining the way PCs are deployed, configured, and managed, IT teams can free up resources to focus on more critical initiatives. ### 3 Key Takeaways from the Article: 1. **Massive Time Savings**: Automating PC migrations can reduce deployment time by **up to 75%**, helping IT teams handle PC refreshes at scale with minimal disruption. 2. **Cost Efficiency**: Companies can save **$300 or more per PC migrated **by cutting down on labor costs and reducing device downtime. 3. **Better Employee Experience**: End users benefit from faster setups, less downtime, and a more consistent experience—crucial in today’s hybrid work environment. ### Real Results, Real Impact Intel also shares data from real-world PC refresh projects using [PCmover Enterprise](https://enterprise.laplink.com?hsLang=en), highlighting organizations that have significantly cut costs and improved IT efficiency with automated PC refresh processes. For IT leaders feeling stretched thin, these are the kinds of outcomes that speak volumes. ### **Why It Matters Now** With [Windows 10 support ending October 14, 2025](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-of-support) and many organizations planning large-scale migrations to Windows 11, there's never been a better time to rethink how you manage PC refresh projects. Whether you're an IT manager, director, or CIO, embracing automation could be the key to doing more with less—without compromising quality or user experience. 👉  [Read the full solution brief here](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/content-details/851739/how-automated-pc-refresh-projects-save-time-and-money-for-overburdened-it-organizations.html) and start exploring how automation can revolutionize your next refresh project.
