What is Device-as-a-Service?

DaaS or Device-as-a-Service is a new model that assists with the company-wide management of devices such as smartphones, laptops, etc. Providers that offer this service assist businesses with the procurement and leasing of devices, as well as the lifecycle servicing, run up and deployment of these devices to your employees. This service is also covered by a single monthly payment, making it ideal and convenient for many businesses. This subscription model makes it possible for businesses to start using state-of-the-art devices without having to wait for the capital to make a once-off purchase. In the past, whenever businesses needed new computers or other devices, this had to be carefully worked into the overall budget as it would take a rather hefty once-off investment. Unfortunately, this meant productivity and work quality suffered while waiting for devices. Being able to rent or lease devices on a subscription basis makes a lot of sense for businesses financially, as the monthly fee can more easily be worked into the budget. By outsourcing the management of devices, businesses can free up their IT, Procurement and Financial departments to focus on other areas of the business that require their attention.
