ADVANT Beiten: procuring mobile devices in a reliable, user-friendly way

ADVANT Beiten is one of Germany's leading commercial law firms. When equipping employees with mobile devices, they required reliability, strong performance, and ease of use. What's more, ensuring data security for the devices was of the utmost importance.

Challenges & Requirements

ADVANT Beiten used to procure standard iOS devices either from a distributor or in "bundle" offers from a mobile provider. This meant that the devices were linked to the restrictive leasing contracts. Because of this, spontaneous hardware requests from the team could not always be fulfilled.

ADVANT Beiten required reliability in its mobile devices as well as the strongest-possible data security and data protection measures. Its ambition was to achieve a wider choice of devices for the employees, as well as shorter procurement times.

Fleet modernization without interruption

ADVANT Beiten already equipped its employees with iOS devices (iPhones and iPads). When switching to the Device-as-a-Service model, Everphone took ownership over all of ADVANT Beiten's existing devices, in preparation for modernization. This process is called "buy and rent back" (BARB).

The devices were gradually replaced with newer models. During this handover period, the team at ADVANT Beiten was able to continue working with their devices without interruption. Meanwhile, MDM software ensures the necessary separation of private data from business data on the devices.

More devices with less effort

Together with Everphone, ADVANT Beiten defined a set of standard smartphone models from which employees can "choose their own device". Employees therefore enjoy a wider choice of devices — and faster onboarding/offboarding workflows.

Broken devices are replaced more quickly, and all without any burden on their in-house IT team. To the contrary, the IT team is almost entirely relieved of all mobile device procurement and management tasks. For these, Everphone now acts as a central support contact and service provider.
