--- title: Technology Lifecycle Management description: The government has many options when it comes to acquiring technologies and services required to satisfy mission goals. Avoid costly upfront purchase costs and clearly understand our total cost of ownership from the beginning. In addition to making the most of your budgets, Technology Lifecycle Management offers organizations a predictable payment structure for the duration of the agreement. image: https://blog.unicomgov.com/hubfs/financial-planning2-1.png --- ##### UNICOM GLOBAL DIVISIONS [![UNICOM Global](https://blog.unicomgov.com/hubfs/Unicomgov_November2018%20Theme/Images/Logo_-_UNICOM_Global_-_Horizontal.png)](https://www.unicomglobal.com/home/) UNICOM® Global consists of more than 40 corporate entities encompassing a wide range of businesses including Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A), Real Estate Development, Business and Financial Services and a range of Information Technology (IT) Divisions. --- -

Operations Manager**   ### A Future ready approach for your agency’s technology needs. An organization’s ability to adapt to change is key to ensuring they stay focused on achieving mission success. With an ever-changing technology landscape, having a strategy that can quickly adjust, and grow with your organization’s needs, is essential. UNICOM Government’s intimate knowledge of Federal, State, and Local Government’s purchasing requirements, gave us the insight to create a purchasing methodology that provides the greatest flexibility to organizations – allowing them to remain future ready. **Technology Lifecycle Management** ![newTLMCircle_Full](https://blog.unicomgov.com/hs-fs/hubfs/newTLMCircle_Full.png?width=341&name=newTLMCircle_Full.png) Developed based on OMB’s requirements, the Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) is a multi-phased approach that allowsorganizations to remain agile, by providing a method to plan, design, acquire, implement, and manage all elements of their IT infrastructure. It consists of engineering, project management expertise, and support services wrapped into a long-term technology strategy that also addresses refresh rate schedules, and end-of-life disposal. Flexible financing and pay-for-use plans, shift the burden, risk of ownership, and management of IT infrastructures away from the agency, and spread the costs over the life of the assets. Our TLM methodology enables government agencies to proactively develop strategies that leverage resources, anticipate future requirements, and focus on business goals. By comprehensively evaluating business, technology, and financial drivers, we can deliver realistic lifecycle plans that set user expectations, and enable IT infrastructures to be managed as a service. TLM offers: - Discipline - Framework for planning - Flexibility to respond - Lower Total Cost of Ownership - Ability to contract for IT as a Service - Statement of Objectives - Service Level Agreements - Trusted solution provider We understand that every organization’s needs are different. Our [Financial Services team](https://info.unicomgov.com/financial-services) can assist you in developing a strategy for your organization that harnesses the full benefits of our TLM approach.   - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ### Register for the Blog! ### Categories - [News (3)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/news) - [Financial Services (2)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/financial-services) - [Distribution services (1)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/distribution-services) - [Federal (1)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/federal) - [IT (1)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/it) - [Insider (1)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/insider) - [Integration Services (1)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/integration-services) - [Modernization (1)](https://blog.unicomgov.com/blog/tag/modernization) #### Connect With Us     - [e-Procurement](http://shop.unicomgov.com/) - [Contact](https://www.unicomgov.com/unicom-government-root/about/contact-us/) - [Site Map](https://www.unicomgov.com/unicom-government-root/site-map/) - [Legal](https://www.unicomgov.com/unicom-government-root/legal/) - [Ethics Program](https://www.unicomgov.com/unicom-government-root/about/careers/) - [Privacy](https://www.unicomgov.com/unicom-government-root/privacy/) Copyright © 2018 **UNICOM® Government, Inc.**
