Device as a Service

Device as a Service

A unified service for device procurement, provisioning, management and support that enhances employee productivity, improves user experience and lowers capex.

The Hybrid Workplace Challenge

The demand for workplace services has undergone a significant shift, driven by technologies that enable hybrid work models. As organizations strive to adapt to the needs of a globally distributed hybrid workforce, traditional workplace models, characterized by fixed office spaces, rigid working hours, and limited technology choices have become increasingly challenging to sustain. In addition, strong economic headwinds are forcing enterprises to recalibrate their IT budgets and focus on lowering costs to ensure optimized cash flow deployment.

The modern workforce has the freedom to work from anywhere, anytime, using a variety of devices and connectivity options. This construct comes with its own set of challenges with workplace service providers grappling with excessive capital expenditure costs to procure, provision and manage laptops, tablets, or smartphones for employees dispersed globally. Device lifecycle management activities are highly administrative, inhibiting IT staff from focusing on strategic digital transformation initiatives.
