Equipment Refresh & Capital Planning
Capital plans often rest on guesses about what is getting old. Beam forecasts end-of-life dates, warranty expiries and aging equipment across the whole estate from manufacturer lifecycle data, and projects forward spend on licenses and support contracts at 12, 24 and 36 months. Finance and engineering plan refreshes from the same numbers.
