Procuring company phones ultimately comes down to three options: buy, lease, or rent. The process can be simplified and/or outsourced through various approaches to take the load off your procurement team and IT.
One of the most efficient solutions is Device-as-a-Service (DaaS), which covers procurement, management and maintenance of the devices.
Everphone offers extensive services in this area that go beyond the offerings of traditional leasing options — and, once you factor in the internal costs for administration and handling the devices, often turn out to be the most cost-effective option.
Company phone procurement strategies
Mobile carrier bundles
Many large mobile carriers such as Telekom, Vodafone and O2 offer dedicated business customer packages. These bundles include not only the mobile plans, but also the devices themselves — a model familiar from the consumer world, where devices are "subsidized" through the contract. On top of that come additional services tailored to the needs of businesses.
Leasing options
Companies like Grover and CHG-Meridian offer leasing options that allow businesses to lease company phones for a defined period instead of buying them outright. This can reduce the financial burden of high upfront acquisition costs.
Device-as-a-Service (DaaS)
The DaaS model, as offered by Everphone, is not based on leasing (which ultimately remains a pure financial service), but on long-term rental with comprehensive service.
DaaS covers procurement, configuration, management, repair and take-back of devices. This model enables companies to relieve their IT resources while ensuring flexibility and up-to-date devices.
Additional services such as Managed Services for MDM, Mobile Threat Defense and phone plan management round out the offering.
