Download the case studyThis case study showcases how SK Tes delivered a secure, multi-year IT refresh and asset lifecycle management programme across the UK and EMEA.
The Challenge
Multi-Country Refresh
Large volume of devices to be replaced for office and remote workers across 12 countries, aligned to strict schedules.
Complex Lifecycle Management
Support for deployments, joiners, asset tracking, lease returns, and ITAD under a five-year service model.
Operational Consistency
Consistent security, reporting, delivery, and SLA compliance across multiple regions and local teams.
The SK Tes Solution
SK Tes implemented a fully integrated managed deployment program designed to simplify operations and provide complete visibility throughout the asset lifecycle.
The solution included strategic planning workshops to optimize resources and logistics, secure staging, imaging and kitting services, regional staging hubs across the UK and EMEA, and dedicated project teams managing deployment, logistics, asset management, lease returns, and IT asset disposition (ITAD) under a single service model.
By consolidating these services with one trusted partner, the customer benefited from a consistent, secure, and scalable approach to IT lifecycle management across every location.

Results and Benefits
The program enabled the customer to execute reliable quarterly refresh cycles while reducing operational complexity and improving lifecycle visibility.
Operational Efficiency
SK tes refreshed 800–900 laptops per deployment cycle, supporting scheduled rollout windows of 8–12 weeks while simplifying vendor management and maintaining full SLA compliance.
Security & Lifecycle Control
Secure staging facilities, comprehensive asset tracking, and integrated lifecycle management ensured every device was managed securely from deployment through retirement, providing complete chain-of-custody and governance across the program.
Financial & Environmental Value
Approximately 3,000 assets were recovered annually, with around £85,000 returned each year through value recovery. Devices were also refurbished through warranty repairs, battery upgrades, and keyboard replacements, extending their useful life, reducing electronic waste, and supporting the customer's sustainability objectives.
