Device as a Service DAAS Provider

ThingsAt is a Device as a Service DaaS provider. We bundle IT equipment management— like PCs, smart phones, and mobile devices — and IT software management in a paid subscription, which provides significant cost reduction and moves the risk from you to us. This is an alternative to purchasing and managing your devices individually.

The model simplifies IT management by outsourcing this role to a device as a service provider, instead of managing it inside the business. DaaS also helps minimise expenses by shifting the IT budget from a capital expenditure model to an operating expense model with predictable per-user, per-month pricing .

Companies using DaaS can quickly scale up or down devices to quickly serve shifting needs. Another benefit is customers gain immediate access to the latest technology without having to make the usual substantial technology investment.

From hardware to accessories to the software you use to do your job, technology is changing all the time. A significant benefit from implementing DaaS is the security it provides. Things like antivirus protection, and security updates require more attention than ever. There are many ways a DaaS model can help your organisation make the most of the latest technology available.

We saved a customer with a fleet of 3,000 laptops $1.2 million over 3 years by identifying and correcting its device ratio.
What’s a device ratio?
We can help answer that for your business.

Move device management away from your internal IT team and manage your laptop fleet the easy way.

Device As a Service DaaS Solution

A big advantage of a device as a service DaaS solution is that it’s not just hardware leasing – it provides complete end-to-end lifecycle related services for all your organisation’s devices.

This ensures your team has exactly the right devices, running at peak performance, all the time.

Here are some of the key benefits:

  1. Time and IT Resource Savings – Servicing your own laptop may not seem like much of a time investment, but if your team has 50 or more machines to look after, the time spent on routine software updates and security scans can be costly. Keep your teams doing what they do best and let DaaS reduce the tech to-do list. DaaS provides predictable costs and manages all device related issues, which means you can redirect your time, money and energy into concentrating on core business.
  2. Expert Device Management – Our DaaS team is solely focussed on providing DaaS support – so we know our business. Our expertise means issues are resolved quickly and cost effectively – freeing up your staff that might not have the experience we do.
  3. Lifecycle Services – End-to-end lifecycle services ensure you’re using the most up to date software, and that your devices are always up and running. This service reduces the vulnerabilities that come with using outdated software, including neutralising potential cybersecurity issues.

This maintains maximum performance across all your devices and extends the useful life span of each device. The DaaS model also provides businesses with options at the end of life of devices. Devices can be brought back to give you a discount on the next hardware refresh, wiped and disposed of securely, or repurposed and recycled.
