Maintenance strategy

What is a maintenance strategy?
A maintenance strategy describes the overarching concept according to which maintenance measures are planned and carried out. It defines whether maintenance is reactive, preventive or predictive and how resources are deployed.

Classification: Long-term effect and added value
Maintenance strategies are used in IT operations, hardware maintenance and managed services to balance availability, costs and risks. A suitable strategy increases the service life of hardware and reduces unplanned downtime. The added value lies in stable operating processes, optimized maintenance costs and a sustainable IT infrastructure. Missing or unsuitable strategies often lead to inefficient use of resources and increased operational risks.
