LIFE CYCLE PHASES AND TERMINOLOGY


The life of the product is divided into three phases; Active, Supported and Obsolete. Each phase implicates
different levels of service and support available to the end-user. By defining the different phases, the model
aims to simplify transitions to newer technology and make sure we fulfill end-user expectations. Duration
of each phase may vary between products.
The policy is that we normally guarantee availability of support and spare parts within 10 years from the
date the last system delivery was made. There are however exceptions on the 10 years availability. One
example is that a product or spare part no longer is available due to component obsolescence. In this case
it may be necessary to provide a similar solution to the customer which fulfils his need. Another example
may be that an old product no longer will be produced since there is a new developed product that can do
the same job.
