PC/Device-as-a-Service (PC/DaaS) transforms the way companies approach device management. By leasing devices for a monthly fee rather than buying outright, businesses can avoid upfront capital investment and maximise their budgets. PC/DaaS also enables IT teams to adopt a more strategic role away from the daily grind of device support tasks.
If you’re planning to implement PC/DaaS, it can help to know the steps involved. We’ve outlined what to expect from initial planning to ongoing lifecycle management, with Xenith there to support you every step of the way.
Step 1: Assess your needs and choose a provider
The first step in getting started with PC/DaaS is understanding your specific needs and choosing the right service provider. What type of devices do you need? What connectivity? What kind of software will your employees use? What level of support will you require?
It’s important to choose a trusted service provider with the required experience to keep your digital workspace and systems secure. At Xenith, we have over 40 years of industry experience and are proud to be ISO 27001 certified. Request a callback and we’ll get the ball rolling.
Step 2: Planning and designing your PC/DaaS solution
Next, our team of experts will delve into your device needs, business goals, and project requirements. Xenith PC/DaaS is a flexible solution that can provide hardware, software, lifecycle services and support all in one. By taking time to understand your requirements, we can ensure you get the most from your IT infrastructure. With fixed monthly payments priced to your budget parameters, PC/DaaS provides you with financial predictability.
Step 3: Configuration
We’ll handle the setup of your devices, customised by function or role, during new employee onboarding. We’ll ensure everything is secure and ready to use out of the box. This is thanks to the application preinstallation and custom system settings, enabling your devices to be expertly configured from the outset, thereby minimising the disruption that can traditionally come with procuring and setting up devices in-house.
Step 4: Deployment
We’ll take care of everything from delivery to staging, to the setup of your devices. We’ll look after seamlessly migrating data to your new devices, adding structural permissions and workflows by role. This removes the burden from your IT team and frees up internal capacity.
Step 5: Ongoing support
With PC/DaaS, you receive ongoing support which includes regular maintenance, updates, and troubleshooting. At Xenith, we offer flexible service packs, allowing you to choose the level of support you need. Xenith support gives you access to:
- 24-hour security management and monitoring if you require it
- A dedicated helpdesk and expert team on hand to help
- Proactive device management at no extra cost, meaning we can identify and resolve device issues before they cause disruption
Step 6: Lifecycle management
We’ll monitor the performance of your devices and replace them when they reach the end of their life. You don’t have to worry about storing or disposing of old hardware as we’ll recycle your outdated devices sustainably.
PC/DaaS ensures you always have access to the latest technology and can adapt your hardware in line with changing business needs.
