Why Device as a Service (Leasing)
Change Adaptation
The IT requirements of schools are constantly changing. A few of the factors influencing technology plans are student enrollment, new initiatives, and budget cuts. A DaaS agreement’s Flex Option allows schools to add or remove devices without incurring contract penalties. An efficient DaaS program adapts to provide only the devices you need for that period of time, rather than having costly devices sitting in a closet when enrollments change year after year.
Providing Personalized Education
A 1:1 technology program’s goal is to transition students from passive learning to collaborative engagement. DaaS allows for faster implementation for schools with limited capital relative to their student population because of the lower initial outlay of funds..
Deployment and Management
Deployment, management, maintenance, and disposal need to be calculated to determine a true technology rate. Depending on the number of devices in service, schools could get caught unprepared for a large outlay of IT upkeep expenses. Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) can encompass all of your technology expenses (including professional development) into one predictable budget year after year. It’s more than a lease, it’s a long-range approach to addressing ongoing technology needs on your campus.
Disposal of Equipment
Schools must deal with IT asset disposition in a traditional purchase model. The process of decommissioning and disposing of computers at the end of their lifecycle can be a time and money drain on school IT departments. DaaS alleviates that burden and expense by returning the computers at the end of the agreement period.
Students' Development
When students advance in grade level, their technology must be updated to reflect new curriculum and assignments. A device designed for third grade may not be appropriate for sixth grade. Without blowing their budgets, schools can now plan for student evolution and provide devices that best match the student/computer lifecycle. DaaS also allows schools to upgrade technology more frequently, ensuring that teachers and students have access to the most up-to-date educational applications and curriculum. We include security against cyber attacks and theft
Obtaining the Required Devices
The best computer for any school is determined by the learning environment, grade levels, student outcome goals, and curriculum. Having enough computing power is essential for an effective technology strategy. DaaS enables schools to afford better devices that are aligned with their goals without paying for more than they require. We offer a variety of products as certified partners for the logos in this document
Empower IT to Focus on Strategic Projects
Your IT department’s most precious commodity is time. They simply can’t proactively address all of the major strategic needs across your institution if they are constantly saddled with trying to manage and repair small issues impacting devices. A successful DaaS program frees up your internal resources, giving them the ability to focus on security, connectivity and greater efficiencies across your campus.
