Device as a Service (DaaS)

Device as a Service (DaaS) is the bundling and offering of management services and IT equipment — like PCs, smartphones and mobile devices — in a paid subscription. This is an alternative to purchasing these devices individually.

This model simplifies IT management by outsourcing this role to the device provider, instead of the business. DaaS also helps minimize expenses by shifting the IT budget from a capital expenditure (CapEx) model to an operating expense (OpEx) model with predictable per-user, per-month pricing.

Companies using DaaS can quickly scale up or down its devices to quickly serve shifting needs. And, organizations have more immediate access to the latest technology without having to make a substantial investment.
