The next device refresh has to be defended as more than a replacement cycle. Technology leaders must decide how much security belongs in the device itself, which roles justify AI-capable hardware, how to bring hidden support and downtime costs into the budget conversation, and how to phase a rollout the business can absorb. Each of those choices shapes how the CFO and board judge the investment and how much value the organization actually gets back from it.

Join fellow technology leaders and experts from Insight Enterprises and Microsoft Windows for a practical discussion on how your peers are working through those decisions. You’ll leave with a stronger business case for your next refresh and a short list of the investments most likely to pay back first.

BWG Connect, Insight Enterprises & Microsoft Windows invite you to join an interactive event with industry peers to review & discuss practical insights across the digital space.

As always, there will be no sales pitch and all attendees are welcome to listen and learn.

• The Business Case That Moves a Refresh Beyond Replacement
  • Attendees will compare how they are presenting Windows 11 to the CFO and board: as a device replacement or as a modernization investment.
  • Expect a candid exchange on which arguments actually unlocked budget and which ones stalled.
• How Much Security Belongs in the Device Itself
  • Security and infrastructure leaders will debate how much protection should live in the hardware and operating system, and how much in layered tools.
  • You'll hear where Windows 11 Pro and Intel vPro fit in that balance.
• The Support and Downtime Costs Leadership Never Sees
  • Peers will share how they surface support load and recovery time that never reach the budget conversation.
  • End-user computing leaders will test whether hardware-level remote management through Intel vPro and Microsoft Intune changes that math.
• Which Roles Justify an AI PC Investment Today
  • Attendees will work through which roles across the workforce need AI-capable devices now and which can wait.
  • We'll compare what evidence each leader needs before sponsoring a larger AI device investment.
• A Rollout Plan the Business and Budget Can Absorb
  • Leaders will compare how they phase deployment around business continuity and budget cycles.
  • The group will discuss how Insight Enterprises lifecycle services and residual value from retired devices can help fund the next wave.
