Device as a Service (DaaS) is a subscription-based model where businesses pay a fixed monthly fee per device, receiving hardware, software, support, and lifecycle management as a bundled service.
How DaaS Works
Instead of purchasing laptops, desktops, and tablets outright, organisations subscribe to a service that includes:
- - Hardware: Latest devices from leading manufacturers
- - Configuration: Pre-loaded with your organisation's software and policies
- - Support: Ongoing technical assistance and troubleshooting
- - Protection: Accidental damage cover and warranty management
- - Lifecycle Management: Proactive health monitoring and timely device refresh
- - Disposal: Certified data destruction and responsible e-waste handling
Why Australian Businesses Are Switching
The traditional buy-and-depreciate model creates several challenges:
- Large upfront costs — purchasing 50-100 laptops can cost $150,000-$300,000
- Asset management complexity — tracking depreciation, warranties, and refresh cycles
- Support fragmentation — separate contracts for hardware, insurance, and disposal
- Budget unpredictability — hardware failures and replacements create cost spikes
DaaS solves all of these by converting hardware into a predictable monthly operating expense.
Is DaaS Right for Your Organisation?
DaaS is ideal for organisations that:
- - Have 20+ users who need business-grade devices
- - Want predictable IT budgets without CapEx spikes
- - Value having their team on current, well-supported hardware
- - Need to meet compliance requirements for data security and e-waste disposal
