<p>A method and system for computer system productivity monitoring comprises; gathering data from multiple sensors in the computer system; using the data to generate profiles relating to both performance and usage of the computer system; and determining if productivity of the user is inhibited by the computers performance. This method may be carried out a predetermined time before a scheduled replacement, and the results may show that use of the computer can be continued, or whether the computer should be upgraded or decommissioned. It may be determined if the computer system is more suitable for another use by analysing usage profiles of other computer systems. The sensors may include internal and external temperature sensors, disk access sensors, peak resource usage sensors, battery life sensors, power source sensor and a sensor that monitors use of applications/programs or other software.</p> |
