Device as a Service - Model Benefits

Stone has a number of as a service offerings, having recently launched Device as a Service, as a solution to allow organisations to continue to invest in hardware, without the risk. As we continue to face economic uncertainty, transitioning to a service-based model means you can eliminate any initial hardware investments from your IT budgets. Instead, end-user hardware updates are easy to forecast and you can give your teams the tech they need at a lower, more manageable cost. Removing IT ownership also means that organisations no longer need to worry about lifecycle management and the depreciation of assets. And when upgrades are required, the costs are covered, and you can simply give back the equipment you no longer need.
