Install, Move, Add, Change

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

IMAC is an acronym from English . It stands for I nstall, M ove A dd and C hange (dt .: install, move, add and change ).

The term is used in IT management and summarizes the services that are important in the life cycle of a workplace . The individual terms summarize various aspects relating to the dynamics of a workplace. New employees need access to the information systems and a functioning IT workstation (install) from the first day at work. The move to new business premises or locations should be quick and trouble-free. Hardware and software extensions or changes to an existing IT system (add / change) must be carried out promptly and properly.
