Today's office is a fully mobile, hybrid environment that empowers employees to be as productive as possible. Device lifecycle management is the key to allowing global organizations to help their employees work how and where they want.

Your mobile workforce must be equipped with cutting-edge technology, which must be deployed across hundreds, if not thousands, of end users. Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) solutions overcome the many roadblocks that commonly overwhelm IT teams trying to manage device sourcing, management, and security.
What is Device-as-a-Service (DaaS)?
Device-as-a-Service is a subscription-based model for managing business devices like smartphones and laptops. This managed service solution supports the entire device lifecycle – from sourcing to retirement.
- Device selection and procurement
- Financial management of bills, charges, and hardware
- Global end-to-end logistics
- End-user support
- Device cybersecurity
- Reuse and recycling of devices
DaaS connects your workforce with the latest smart devices and bypasses upfront capital investment. Your devices are managed end-to-end and your teams get cutting-edge technology without immediate upfront payment. The cost of the devices is added to the service charge.
Device-as-a-Service is a one-step solution that removes the stress, hassle, and immediate financial obligations from enterprise mobility management, simultaneously giving you peace of mind.
The Cost Benefits of Device-as-a-Service
- Reduce upfront and immediate costs
- Improves your working capital
- No debt
DaaS eases many of the financial burdens of organizations trying to outfit their teams with the latest technology. It turns the capital expense of hardware into an operational expense that includes a cost-effective managed service solution.
In an economically uncertain world, reducing capital expenses is one of the most significant benefits to organizations that must balance growth risk against business stability.
The latest technology doesn’t come cheap, but organizations shouldn’t be locked out of using that technology by capital costs. You can minimize the impact on your cash flow by spreading the cost of your devices across monthly payments instead, combining monthly hardware payments with Managed Mobility Services (MMS).
You carry no debt and keep total control over your mobile devices by repaying the costs as part of your service charge, not as a loan.
Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) and Managed Mobility Services
Understanding the mobility lifecycle is vital to success when operating a vast mobile workforce. However, the beginning of that cycle is often prohibitive for many companies. Sourcing, acquiring, and deploying thousands of cutting-edge devices to remote end-users is expensive, and many organizations end up with a deal that doesn’t work for them.
This is why it's such a natural fit with Managed Mobility Services and why it’s perfect for organizations looking to transform and build their mobile ecosystem. Organizations are presented with a single-step solution to connect their workforce in a time where remote work is the new normal, and the office space has become hybridized.
