    Lifecycle management: more control with Capex, less work

    You want to buy IT equipment with Capex, but managing it is a nightmare? We get it. Our lifecycle management package offers a solution: you keep control, while we take care of the complex work in the background.

    With great control comes great responsibility

    We generally recommend switching to Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) and renting your mobile fleet. DaaS relieves the IT team and eliminates tedious, recurring tasks. However, industries like Oil & Gas often prefer a Capex strategy–the company remains the device owner. But this also means it inhibits the burden of ownership: Differing incident management across multiple providers and countries and liability in case of damages. It also comes with overhead cost and requires management attention in orchestrating this setup. If service responsibilities are split, they become fragmented and need active management. The result: Higher costs, more workload, and less transparency.

    Challenge: Fragmented processes

    Capex means: no global transparency

    Your IT team juggles multiple vendors in each country, making it hard to oversee and manage the device fleet consistently. Local workflows and a lack of transparency lead to inefficiencies and high internal workloads.

    Challenge: Integration capability

    Capex means: inconsistent user experience

    Local service providers each use their own platforms, resulting in a fragmented user experience. ITSM systems are difficult—or impossible—to integrate. The variety of processes and contacts confuses your employees and reduces adoption of new technologies.

    Challenge: Internationalization

    Capex means: hidden costs

    Local teams spend valuable time managing devices—from organizing repairs and updates to handling proper disposal. These manual tasks distract from core business activities and create avoidable internal costs.

    Lower internal costs, improve service

    By outsourcing recurring tasks like incident management and asset tracking, you significantly reduce the operational costs of managing smartphones, tablets, and laptops. One unified workflow across all countries ensures reliable asset data and consistent data wiping for end-of-life devices. Because broken devices are replaced without delay, user satisfaction increases and downtime is minimized. Procurement and IT teams—locally and globally—regain valuable capacity for high-impact, value-creating projects.

    Lifecycle Management: Outtasking your asset administration

    With our international lifecycle management, you retain control over your own devices—but outsource the tasks that quietly cause extra work behind the scenes. This includes staging, configuration, repairs and replacements, MDM administration, mobile threat defense, and retrieving end-of-life devices with automated data deletion (including a certificate for your audit trail). You choose the service package you need, and we take over asset management at your desired level of detail.
