DaaS (Device as a Service)
Instead of sinking capital into keeping pace with the latest workplace technology, Device as a Service (DaaS) gives you continual access to top-quality IT equipment – with the price of software, deployment, and support all consolidated within easy-to-manage instalments.
What is Device as a Service?
Is your workplace struggling to keep up with the latest technology, dealing with outdated equipment that isn't fit for purpose? Device as a Service (DaaS) is a solution that improves employee efficiency and reduces costs all at once. But what does Device as a Service mean?
By procuring the latest IT devices on your behalf, DaaS providers like Apogee ensure your staff are continually equipped with the right tech to keep them agile and dynamic, with minimal input required from your IT team. Unlike purchasing your business IT, the lease model of Device as a Service (DaaS) means you only pay for what you need, since it can easily be scaled up or down to suit your requirements.
Benefits of Device as a Service
Your convenience is our top priority. A DaaS (Device as a Service) subscription with Apogee covers assessments, deployment, and ongoing support, which makes acquiring and maintaining the latest technology for your staff a hassle-free experience.
Additional benefits of Device as a Service include:
Give time back to your IT department with DaaS
In a rapidly evolving business landscape, keeping a competitive edge with the latest technology is absolutely crucial. However, your business cannot be dynamic if you are wasting all your time managing your IT infrastructure.
Put long-term strategic tasks back into focus for your IT team by removing individual device maintenance from their workload. When combined with remote support - made easily available through the Client Portal - maximum uptime for your devices is all but assured. Your staff can then utilise their time more efficiently and focus on growing and developing the business.

What is included in DaaS?
There are four main areas of DaaS – procurement, deployment, ongoing support, and life cycle management.
To procure the best technology for you, we develop a plan to match your stated needs and requirements with prospective solutions. This could be just your desktop computers (Desktop as a Service) or an overhaul of all your devices. Once we have agreed on a solution and installation date with you, we personally deliver and install everything ourselves to ensure everything is operating correctly.
Ongoing support is consolidated within the price of your DaaS solution, which means that fixes can be requested, arranged and carried out as part of your fee. Then, once devices have reached the end of their life cycle, we dispose of them responsibly and replace them with the newest high-quality alternatives.
Why does your business need DaaS?
If you’re still wondering why Device as a Service is right for you, we are eager to share that there is no limit to how DaaS can aid your business.
Ideal for public and private sectors alike, the operational and financial efficiencies that DaaS can bring to an organisation cannot be ignored. Being able to outsource hardware procurement, software, installation and ongoing support to Device as a Service companies is not just convenient, but also facilitates greater efficiency throughout your enterprise.
This is further aided by the fact that DaaS solutions can be scaled up or down very easily to adapt to your current situation, ensuring that your budget is being used as effectively as possible.
Your ability to be competitive is also enabled through DaaS; since you benefit from top-of-the-line devices without having to waste any of your time or resources. This keeps your operations at optimal performance, which may give you the edge over your competitors (especially those still handling their IT in-house).
These are just a few reasons why Device as a Service is such a useful investment.
Why choose Apogee as your DaaS provider?
Having the freedom to tailor solutions is imperative to the utility of Device as a Service (DaaS), and as a multi-brand provider, Apogee has the freedom to mix and match technologies to suit your specific requirements.
This is especially useful for the public sector since Apogee is also recognised as a responsible supplier for a number of public sector frameworks, giving you the assurance that your procured technology will be responsibly sourced in compliance with specific guidelines.
But DaaS is just the tip of the iceberg of what Apogee can offer. For added convenience to you, many complementary services can be added to your DaaS solution; all delivered with the same consistent standard of quality. For instance, an Imaging service means that your new IT can be delivered with all your required programs already installed – letting you upgrade with minimal disruption to employee output.
Lower and Predictable Costs
Traditionally, companies tend to purchase computer hardware to cater for an increase in their workforce, often resulting in surplus equipment should the size of their workforce decrease. With the flexibility that DaaS provides, instead of accumulating surplus, expensive equipment, device deployment can easily be scaled up or down as needed to accommodate seasonal workforce changes.
Likewise, as DaaS allows companies to pay with one contract combining everything including hardware, software and managed services with one monthly payment, this allows organisations to more easily manage and predict their IT operating costs. In doing so, organisations can improve cash flow, preserve capital and manage a predictable and consistent technology expense.
Latest Hardware and Technology
Another major benefit of implementing DaaS is that organisations can leverage the latest hardware and technologies in the marketplace. With IT and related technologies ever changing and improving, companies face the risk of spending large amounts of money on procuring devices which will likely become dated in a few year’s time.
The flexibility of DaaS ensures companies are able to steer away from committing themselves to specific devices, and instead are able to procure the latest and best technologies as part of their contract. Consequently, with access to world-class devices and accessories that perfectly suit their requirements, organisations can maximise their performance and ensure they remain competitive within their industry.
Protection
With organisations facing the highest levels of cyber-attacks in both volume and sophistication, it is crucial for organisations to ensure their IT infrastructure is being protected. By monitoring a company’s entire fleet of devices and ensuring they are meeting security regulations at all times, DaaS protects companies against vulnerabilities and delivers complete peace-of-mind.
