...Hardware as a Service
Hardware as a Service combats the upfront costs of purchasing the latest technology, the impending obsolescence if the technology requirements change and the hassle of maintenance through its lifecycle. Not to mention it is also cheaper than upfront purchasing or leasing!
Hardware as a Service (HaaS) is a rental subscription, like leasing or licencing, in that the hardware belongs to a managed service provider (MSP) or finance company and is installed for a customer with a service level agreement (SLA) that defines the responsibilities of both parties on a rental basis with no capital investment.
This model allows companies to access the latest technology from day one, while managing costs over lower monthly repayments. Repayments are defined up front and fixed over the term meaning companies can easily manage their budget and can scale up or down in line with their workforce needs. This model helps businesses remain up to date with state-of-theart technology, without the large upfront costs associated with an outright purchase. At the end of a traditional lease the equipment is owned by the end user who has paid the full price over the term of their agreement and is left with old technology. Hardware as a Service offers multiple end-of-term options and flexibility at the end-of-term to renew the agreement, return the equipment or select a new system.
As we begin returning to the workplace, meeting spaces need to adapt to facilitate hybrid meetings. However, it can be hard to gauge the productivity enhanced from new, innovative hardware and the importance of this investment. Offices can also feel anticipation to upgrading a meeting room as technology soon becomes obsolete and is replaced by newer, better, shinier things. Hardware as a Service helps solve this problem, this solution offers cutting-edge technology with flexible upgrade options at an affordable monthly price.
An advantage of renting is that it gives you flexibility to upgrade to the latest equipment in line with technological advances. This means you can acquire the equipment your business needs now, while easily upgrading to newer assets during the term and remain ahead of your competition.
