how to be persuasive/tacky in proposing IT projects?

by tech06 . Updated 20 years, 1 month ago

We have several legacy computers (Win95/98) that are in bad shape and users are complaining about them all the time. I’ve enlisted names whose computers should be upgraded along with reasons and submited to the management. However, I’m getting no response after a few attempts. Without sounding too pushy, how should I handle this in a better way? The biggest ROI I can think of is the time saving for the users to run their jobs on pc and management should know this already. I’ve tried cleaning the pc’s, reformatted and told users to shut them down everyday, but they are of no help. The hardware are just too old to run the newer applications. It’s getting frustrating but I’d really like to help the users to get their job done (if I get mine done). Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.
