Lifecycle Management

IT lifecycle management is the administration of a system from the point-of-sale/initial ship date of the asset, through operations, and then to the retirement of the asset.

Every IT system, resource, and workload has a lifecycle. Whether it’s a new or existing system, our goal is to help you make the most of your investment by adding additional years to the asset and reducing the risk associated with managing complex IT systems.

Lifecycle Management Modeled After the Army’s Best Practices

PMCS High Level of Support – Source Authority has created a new category in distribution with alternative to OEM (Source Authority) support. Our Founder, Scott Lopez, served several years as an M1 Tank crew member where he learned the ins and outs of PMCS. Our unique solution combines maintenance and support, asset and contract management, and remote monitoring and management. Service delivery is built on our military roots. In the Army, every military asset must go through regular Preventative Maintenance, Checks, and Services (PMCS) procedures. This goes for everything from the 92FS Barretta sidearm to the M1 Abrams Tank.
