With Workplace as a Service, these practical Lenovo devices are now also available through a flexible as-a-service procurement model.

What does Workplace as a Service (WaaS) mean?

Workplace as a Service (WaaS) means that companies no longer buy complete digital workplaces, but rent them flexibly – including hardware, accessories, and services. The model is aligned with the needs of modern IT departments: more agility, less complexity, and full transparency over costs.

For CIOs and IT managers in particular, WaaS with Lenovo means access to up-to-date devices without long-term commitments or high upfront investments. Instead, there are predictable monthly rates – including device management, support, and replacements.

The workplace becomes a service that can be scaled at any time – not only upwards (there is always room to grow), but also downwards when needed. This is ideal for companies with dynamic growth or hybrid work models.

Renting Lenovo devices instead of buying them

Renting IT devices as part of WaaS differs fundamentally from the classic purchase model. Companies do not pay for ownership of a laptop or PC, but for its use – including all services related to provisioning, management, security, and support.

This allows budgets to be used more efficiently: CAPEX becomes OPEX. Procurement managers benefit from clearly predictable operating costs and lower capital commitment. In addition, the entire lifecycle effort is eliminated: retrieval, reconditioning, and recycling are handled by Everphone – including secure data deletion.

Benefits for companies and IT departments

Workplace as a Service with Lenovo offers numerous benefits: IT departments are relieved of operational workload and can focus on strategic topics.

Central management via the Everphone portal ensures transparency and control – whether for 500 or 5,000 devices. Rollouts and device replacements can also be implemented faster and more efficiently.

Companies gain access to up-to-date Lenovo hardware, tailored to different role profiles within the organization. Security standards and compliance can be enforced more easily through MDM integration and uniform policies.

Difference from classic IT leasing

While classic IT leasing usually only covers financing in a three-party construct, WaaS goes much further: it also includes deployment, configuration, management, and support of the devices. Leasing contracts are often inflexible, run for several years, and make changes expensive.

WaaS with Lenovo, on the other hand, is dynamic and adapts to the company’s development. Devices can be added or returned at short notice – for example for new projects, seasonal business, or offboarding.

Another key difference: Everphone takes care of the entire process, including repairs, replacement devices, and returns.

Which Lenovo devices are available?

Everphone offers a wide selection of current Lenovo devices in the WaaS model. These include powerful ThinkPads for mobile use, flexible convertibles for hybrid work, and compact desktop alternatives for stationary workplaces.

It’s best to take a look directly at Lenovo – in principle, we can offer all devices from the manufacturer, including BTO (build to order).

• Lenovo notebooks
• Lenovo desktops
• Lenovo workstations
• Lenovo tablets
• Lenovo monitors
• Lenovo accessories (docking stations, etc.)

Special requirements – such as rugged devices for field service or particularly energy-efficient models for sustainable use – can also be covered.

Together with Everphone, companies find exactly the configuration that fits their needs – from individual workstations to global device fleets.

Lenovo laptops in the WaaS model: ThinkPad as a Service

The Lenovo ThinkPad series is known for reliability, performance, and security – making it ideal for companies of any size. In the WaaS model, organizations can select exactly the models that suit their needs: whether the ultra-light X1 Carbon, the robust T model, or a powerful P model for power users.

Thanks to preconfigured devices with Windows Autopilot or zero-touch deployment, new devices are ready for use quickly – whether in the office, at home, or on the go. We take care of this as part of the WaaS setup, so your IT team has no work and your users don’t have to deal with device setup.

Tiny, Mini, and SFF PCs from Lenovo

In addition to laptops, Everphone also offers stationary solutions in the WaaS model – such as the popular Lenovo Tiny PCs and small form factor PCs (SFF). These devices stand out for their compact design, high energy efficiency, and strong performance.

They are an attractive solution especially in offices with limited space or in modular workplace concepts. Here, too, the same applies: devices can be centrally managed, replaced when needed, and monitored via the Everphone portal.

Accessories and extensions

A modern digital workplace includes more than just a PC or laptop. With Workplace as a Service with Lenovo, accessories such as monitors, docking stations, keyboards, or mice can also be added flexibly.

This allows IT departments to define complete workstation sets and provide suitable bundles depending on employee roles. Upgrades during ongoing operations are also possible – for example when introducing new collaboration tools or after a location change.

Why Lenovo for Workplace as a Service?

Lenovo stands out for its broad device portfolio, high build quality, and strong partnerships in the B2B space.

Combined with Everphone’s service model, this creates a powerful solution for modern workplace design. For CIOs and IT decision-makers in particular, Lenovo is therefore a strategically sound partner – with global availability, continuous innovation, and a strong focus on enterprise requirements.

Performance, reliability, and security

Lenovo devices are built for professional use: powerful processors, long-lasting batteries, robust housings, and extensive security features.

Many models offer integrated TPM chips, biometrics, privacy filters, and BIOS protection. For companies, this means more security with less effort. Especially in regulated industries or when handling sensitive data, this builds trust and reduces risk.

Broad selection for different use cases

Whether in sales, development, field service, or administration – Lenovo offers suitable devices for all roles within a company. Thanks to the WaaS model, IT departments can define specific configurations and roll them out in a standardized way. International rollouts are also possible: Everphone delivers preconfigured devices worldwide – optionally with country-specific keyboards and localization.

Sustainability and lifecycle benefits

Workplace as a Service actively contributes to sustainability: devices are refurbished and reused after use. This significantly extends the product lifecycle – in contrast to traditional purchase models with short device cycles. WaaS also reduces e-waste and CO₂ emissions. Companies that focus on circular economy not only improve their ESG performance, but also strengthen their employer branding.

How WaaS with Everphone and Lenovo works

Everphone is a Lenovo partner. The collaboration between Everphone and Lenovo offers a true worry-free package: companies select the desired devices, and Everphone takes care of provisioning, configuration, and management.

All services are included in a single monthly rental fee. The entire lifecycle – from ordering and rollout to return – is centrally managed and documented.

Selection, configuration, and deployment

IT teams define their requirements, select suitable Lenovo devices, and have them configured centrally via the Everphone portal. Thanks to preconfigured images and automated delivery, devices are ready for use in the shortest possible time – including MDM, security policies, and user accounts. This reduces manual effort and minimizes sources of error.

Management via the Everphone portal

In the Everphone portal, companies maintain an overview of their entire device fleet: serial numbers, users, contracts, device status, and much more. Returns, replacement devices, or location changes can also be handled efficiently here. Integration with existing IT systems such as MDM or SSO ensures seamless management.

Returns, replacements, support

Defective devices or employee offboarding – Everphone takes care of everything. Replacement devices are shipped automatically, returns are handled in compliance with GDPR, and data is securely erased. This reduces the workload for IT teams – and increases user satisfaction. Fast replacements minimize downtime. Support is also provided centrally by Everphone – optionally with a 24/7 hotline.

Conclusion: use Lenovo devices smartly – without upfront investment

Workplace as a Service with Lenovo is the smart alternative to classic device purchasing: flexible, scalable, and cost-efficient. Companies benefit from up-to-date hardware, relieved IT teams, and sustainable device usage.

Anyone looking to introduce modern workplaces without investment barriers will find the right solution with Everphone and Lenovo – today and tomorrow.
