Conclusion

Finally, the adoption and use of technology is not without challenges, therefore Findlay, Ronald, and Kevin in the article “Power and plenty” discuss the difficulties of maintaining Information Technology (IT) equipment globally. According to them companies choose between the idea to keep the IT by themselves, depending on the reseller or original manufacturer, or third party maintenance. [8] Self-maintenance becomes sometimes expensive and distracting mostly from the leading businesses. Original manufacturers become preferable though they may be lacking repair facilities altogether within all the locations where the company operates. Third party selection involves trade-offs between service providers worldwide. The article further stresses the significance of careful negotiation of particular terms of service provision.
