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Outdated IT infra­structure, lack of skilled staff, and rigid procure­ment processes slow down digita­li­zation in public administration.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.
Challenge: IT infrastructure

Outdated fleets and systems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 Outdated techno­logies reduce user ex­per­ience and pro­duc­tivity, while also com­promising mobile security.
Challenge: Resources

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 UX.
Challenge: Procurement

Processes are too complex

Procurement is often geared toward pur­chasing. Complex tenders and rigid bid­ding pro­cesses through service providers delay rapid provisioning and limit the 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 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—that’s why we integrate 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 the iOS Indigo 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).
