Five Financial Benefits of Device as a Service

Five Financial Benefits of Device as a Service

And how it can help your business

It is essential to build and maintain the capacity to innovate. Articulating an innovation strategy should not be limited to the latest software and cloud computing, but in fact the PCs, notebooks and other devices used in supporting your digital transformation. No matter the size of your organisation, it is most likely that you are operating a wide range of computing and digital devices across the business – each with its own hardware and software options. With such large numbers of devices needed, it presents many challenges for organisations’ IT and Finance departments.

Device as a Service (DaaS) is leading a new kind of business transformation, offering an overall solution for device provision and management that frees up internal IT teams and better manages company finances. Offering predicable costs per user per month, DaaS subscription model removes the need for ad hoc investment in multiple devices with disparate support contracts and refresh cycles. Moving these purchases to monthly operational expenses, lessens the strain on cash flow and avoids depreciation while providing greater flexibility in spending. The need for creating more efficient purchasing highlights the financial need for DaaS and the logical next step in moving more IT spend to opex models.

It is important to note that DaaS is not limited to PCs and laptops, in fact more devices are being offered under the solution, each with hardware lifecycle management. Devices offered as a service include hardware such as PCs, laptops, desktops, tablets and mobile phones. As well as being able to scale devices up and down as needed and an always-on support service with proactive remote monitoring, there are many benefits in Device as a Service especially financially.

Five Financial Benefits of DaaS

The DaaS model is CFO friendly and provides organisations with a flatline investment that leads to better budget control and greater cash flow control.

1. Return on Investment:  It is one contract that wraps a multitude of services into one, for a monthly predictable cost thus increasing return on investment.

  • A finance plan taking the residual value into account
  • Warranty/break-fix/asset care options
  • Maintenance agreements
  • Proactive management with Monthly reporting
  • 24/7 Service desk
  • Delivery and secure collection of assets
  • Access to asset and contract management software
  • Technology refresh cycles

2. Capex to Opex: Moves unpredictable device capex spend into predictable, sustainable payments or opex models.

3. Consumption Model: Monitored usage and reporting will make sure your devices are optimised.

4. Lower maintenance costs: By ensuring your technology is always up-to-date it is less likely to break down, resulting in less downtime for you and your users in addition to lower maintenance costs.

5. Frees up internal IT resources: Internal IT resources are freed up so they can focus on core business objectives.
