Is the aim of Intel SIPP to change purchasing habits?
No. The purpose of Intel SIPP is to help IT organizations lower the TCO of the managed PC fleet. Intel SIPP enables IT organizations to annually qualify their desktop PCs using supported components. For desktops, this qualification should be performed in the SeptemberNovember window. For notebooks, it should be done in the JulySeptember timeframe. This gives IT groups the ability to procure stable image platforms for at least 12 months from the beginning of the actual Intel SIPP deployment cycle. Through the Intel Stable Image Platform Program, IT groups can plan for a more predictable annual transition from one generation of technology to the next.
