Benefits of Device-as-a-Service
Device-as-a-Service (“DaaS”) is the ultimate in convenience, flexibility and cost saving
The DaaS model has a broad range of benefits for your business.
Financial Benefits
- It’s a quicker and easier way of financing your IT Hardware Refresh.
- There is no capital outlay.
- It is off balance sheet. You pay a monthly rental expense which includes the services we offer. This Opex model saves you the accounting effort in managing, depreciating, disposing and reporting on hundreds of small assets . The expense is tax-deductible, so you write off the expense in the month in which it occurs.
- Reduces your internal cost. Our bundled services reduces the amount of time consumed in your IT department in resolving, repairing, and redeploying IT hardware.
Flexibility
- Upgrades: You can upgrade memory or storage for devices at any time, with a simple increase in the existing monthly rental.
- End of Term Options: At the end of the initial term, you have a host of choices. You can choose to continue renting at a lower cost, return the hardware, upgrade or refresh with new.
Service and Uptime
- Reduces the cost of downtime: Our Next Businesss Day Service ensures maximum uptime
- Warranty Assistance: Traditional vendor warranties are subject to availability of parts, and still require time and expertise to troubleshoot. This can take an average time of 7-days. With ‘Device-as-Service’, we offer assistance to troubleshoot problematic faults, and to navigate warranty issues which we deal with every day.
Rollout
- Logistics: We will deliver and collect your hardware anywhere in South Africa, even to your employee’s homes:
- Imaging: This is where we give you one unit to set up with all your company software. We then ‘clone’ it, called imaging, and install this image on all the PC’s we deliver. This can save you hundreds of man-hours of internal or external IT support. When a unit needs to be swapped, we can deliver it pre-installed and ready to use.
- Asset Tagging: Every device is issued a unique asset tag, making it easier to stock take and track
Software
- We can include software with your device, or you can install your own.
- Software available on a monthly subscription includes: Microsoft 365, Google G-Suite, Webroot Antivirus and a host of other applications available.
