    IT issues paralyzing public administration

    Outdated IT infrastructure, lack of skilled staff, and rigid procurement processes slow down digitalization in public administration. Devices often remain in use for too long, security updates are delayed—hampering operations and jeopardizing data protection. Support and device management are neglected, while IT resources and budgets for strategic digitalization projects are missing. The high complexity of tendering processes reliably slows down fast solutions.

    Outdated fleets and systems

    IT devices are often in use for years, updates are delayed. Outdated technologies reduce user experience and productivity, while also compromising mobile security.

    Lack of skilled staff

    Internal IT teams are chronically overworked or absent. Device management, support, and lifecycle handling fall by the wayside, further reducing productivity and user experience.

    Challenge: Procurement
    03

    Processes are too complex

    Procurement is often geared toward purchasing. Complex tenders and rigid bidding processes through IT service providers delay rapid provisioning and unnecessarily limit the device portfolio.

    Up-to-date and secure technology with DaaS

    DaaS (Device-as-a-Service) means renting mobile devices instead of buying them. Device fleets stay up to date and continuously modernize. This not only minimizes potential security gaps but also significantly boosts mobile productivity and user satisfaction—whether in the field or the office. For procurement and incident management, Everphone provides highly automated processes that can connect via API to existing ITSM solutions like Datanet or Servicenow: permanently relieving IT teams of device management.

    Maximum security for critical infrastructure

    In public administration, the security requirements for devices and data are especially high—so Everphone integrates device hardening against mobile threats right from the start. A secure encrypted workspace (“container”) is set up on service devices: only IT can release apps and configure settings. Users cannot bypass security requirements such as mandatory passwords or patch installations. Everphone also supports INDIGO’s 12-month cycles. For mobile work in critical infrastructure environments, we recommend a dedicated Mobile Threat Defense solution, provided in partnership with CheckPoint.

    Fixed budget and transparent costs

    In the public sector, budgets are set early—large IT investments must be planned, approved, and tendered well in advance. DaaS fundamentally changes this situation: instead of high one-time costs for device purchases, a monthly fee is paid, which fits easily within the annual budget. Through this OPEX model (operating expenditure), mobile devices can be procured via service contracts—without upfront investments. When switching to DaaS, Everphone even buys your existing fleet to ensure ongoing operations and reduce costs—benefiting both IT and taxpayers. We call this approach BARB (buy-and-rent-back).
