1. Why use a device management package like DaaS upfront?
Since the pandemic began, working from home has become necessary for many, making DaaS an essential part of keeping businesses running. DaaS facilitates a more rapid adaptation to remote work, enabling businesses to acquire hardware without making a big purchase upfront.
Additionally, configuration and management of users aren’t necessary because they are the responsibility of the DaaS provider. There are many more benefits to DaaS, as described below:
As a single-paid service, businesses can expect a predictable monthly cost instead of making an upfront capital investment. The predictability enables businesses to become more efficient with their cash flow, budgeting, and hardware upgrades.
Businesses can scale their network up or down to accommodate any number of devices they need as their business changes.
• Increased Productivity
Device management is simplified as DaaS provides many services, such as:
- Procurement
- Onboarding
- Provisioning
- Maintenance and support
As a result, businesses can focus on operations, gaining leads, and serving customers while leaving all asset management tasks to the DaaS provider.
DaaS is an evergreen strategy where devices are automatically updated based on a schedule. Without DaaS, businesses are forced to spend money on hardware repairs, downtime, and new hardware or software if the vendor announces an EOL.
The business will then need to assess its IT infrastructure and change its business-critical applications, which could create multiple points of failure. DaaS ensures that businesses don’t suffer the costs or bear the responsibility of secure device disposal.
- Simplified Management Services
If your business opts for additional services in your DaaS package, your provider will handle a variety of managed services, such as:
- Updates and Patching
- Device Monitoring
- Maintenance
- Help Desk Services
Businesses have peace of mind when it comes to using physical hardware, knowing their provider will take care of any issues that may arise.

3. How does “Device as a Service” work?
Like other “as a service” offerings, DaaS involves partnering with a third-party provider to offer a wide range of relevant services. In the case of DaaS, the provider is responsible for the common management tasks related to smartphones, tablets, and laptops. These include:
- Procurement
- Device management
- Application management
- Logistics
- Incident management (replacements for defects)
- Offboarding (data deletion, refurbishing, or recycling)
