ABSTRACT
The increasing number of personal desktop computer users, coupled with rapidly changing personal desktop computer technology, has increased the demand for computing services at many computing centers. However, for many computing centers, budgets have not increased as rapidly as the demand for services. These centers can use several methods to help balance increasing demands and fixed resources.
Providing personal desktop computing recommendations and encouraging users to follow them are effective means of meeting demands for computing services, even while operating within a constant or slowly growing budget. Providing personal desktop computing recommendations reduces evaluation costs, shifts the burden of evaluating personal desktop computing products from the user to the computing organization, and encourages expertise within the computing organization.
