we have had complaints from various budget holders in departments in the company that hardware refresh (e.g. end user kit, such as desktop/laptop) and software refresh programs (e.g. new versions of office) are often poorly communicated and &quot;dropped&quot; onto budget holders last minute and this doesnt allow them to properly budget year on year for these kind of exercises. Currently a bit unsure on what kind of process or policy should be in place to allow budget holders for forsee ICT costs to build into annual budget planning. How are your budget holders informed at your companies, what policies/processes do you have in place to keep them informed?

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
