Residual Value Forecast (RVF)
|
|
A critical and often difficult task of IT management is the analysis and calculation of IT equipment residual values. There are no magic formulas or short cuts and there are many variables that can affect the ultimate forecast on computer equipment. One of the key elements in accurately forecasting residual values is having a thorough understanding of the current market demand for similar or like equipment. DMC Valuations is one of the leading authorities on the IT secondary (used) equipment market. Our research and analysis on the secondary market provides the foundation for our residual value forecasting model. In addition to our secondary market research, we analyze other key factors such as new enhancements and upgrades, introduction of new and improved models, new chip technologies, initial cost, maintenance, population, age, method of sale, and other changes in technology. All of these factors are analyzed and applied to each and every IT equipment residual value forecast we publish.
