Owning is not always the best solution

Owning a PC is a bit like owning a car. You know that service, EU control and probably some surprises will appear here. You dream of having a car that you can use until it passes a million kilometres, but that's the dream.

A car costs a lot of money, and so does a PC. A high-quality PC, with a good design, a processor that can withstand a lot and that has enough storage space costs money. Therefore, it is a bit sad that this year you have to buy new PCs for the summer temporary workers again. Or perhaps you have a temporary project that requires one type of PC, but which is not to be used outside of this project?

Because what's the point of paying for equipment you don't need when a demanding project has been completed? If we look at the practical side of it, it costs both money, time and effort every time such purchases are made. It is not a necessary figure to have in the climate accounting either. After all, we all want equipment that can live out its full lifespan, and then invest in new ones. Renting rather than owning is our solution to this challenge. We experience that it solves many small problems AND saves companies a lot of time.

- We experience Device as a Service as a problem-free solution. The service is flexible, predictable and exactly what we need in a digital everyday life, said Linda Marie Tanum who is Head of Administration at Svensson Nøkleby. They have also tested our network solution, which is based on the same concept. If you're a little curious now, read about lawyers' need for networking here.

Why rent rather than own?

We have several reasons - and you will find them immediately below here, but one reason we would like to place extra emphasis on is: TIME. Most of us, unless they have found "the holy grail" just like Indiana Jones, have limited time. 7,5 hours is what we all consider a normal working day and then things should just work. We think so too.

Your time is valuable at work. In order for you to be able to operate in a good way and have time to follow up work tasks while you can take your summer holiday with a clear conscience, there must be as little equipment trouble as possible. Trouble is the recipe for a bad summer mood. Nor do self-appointed IT managers or IT departments have time to help at all times. Therefore, it can quickly pay off to let experts take care of what they are good at so that you can spend your working time on what you really need to do. Innovation, progress, follow-up and much more. We want you to have plenty of time for that.

Save time by renting rather than owning. With Device as a Service and Lenovo at the forefront, you can:

  • Terminate as soon as you no longer need the equipment.
  • Return the equipment just as it is.
  • Rent the specific model you need in the tasks or to the project you are working on. Why make expensive one-off investments when you don't need the equipment all year?
  • Save precious time. Handling the company's PCs can steal a lot of time from the IT department or you who sit with it every week. It is time that many would rather spend on operations, development and innovation than on tender processes and meetings with PC suppliers.
  • Be safe that we of course ensure the safe and secure deletion of all data.
  • Save Money by avoiding wrong purchases or heavy one-off investments (which do not require depreciation).
  • Get a fixed monthly price per user, without commitment period.
  • Give your PCs a longer life. Since you can return the PCs you have finished with, we can ensure that they have an even longer lifespan. Together with good partners, we clean the equipment of data, reset it to factory settings, clean and pack it so that even one company or organization can enjoy it.

We are concerned with responsible consumption and production

Changing your PC, headset or monitors every year is not necessary. It is important to us that we contribute to a society that takes care of the things we produce and gives them a longer life. You can also contribute to this through the Device as a Service service.

We offer, through third parties, efficient, economical and sustainable handling of all kinds of IT equipment. We have done that for almost 10 years. In this way, we have helped to extend the life cycle of IT products, contributed to environmentally friendly reuse, reduction and recycling of EE waste. We are really proud of that - and we will only continue to do so.

Hope you gained some insight into the difference between owning and renting. We have been doing this for several years and have several customer advisors who help to uncover both the number, need for type of equipment and much more every single day. This saves you countless hours on everything from price hunting to reading the specifications of the equipment you are considering. If you want to talk to us, get in touch at Device as a Service!
