‘Under Pressure’ –
featuring your IT department
In the fast-paced, diverse and increasingly connected world we work in, IT departments now face more pressure than ever surrounding their approach to cyber security and threats. The rise of hybrid and agile working in the last five years has brought with it many obvious benefits. But it has also brought with it new difficulties and challenges that require innovative and comprehensive solutions.
Businesses are now operating with devices in a range of locations wider than ever before, meaning it’s more difficult than it has ever been to keep track of all your assets. Depending on the size of an organisation, it can take some serious effort to securely and effectively monitor your entire network of devices.
This is where Device as a Service (DaaS) is revolutionising the approach to managing your assets. DaaS offers a slicker, more professional process for the handling of IT and devices. This wrap-around, all-in-one service puts employee experience first, making it a godsend for not only IT managers but all members of your organisation. With plug and play solutions for any and all issues, every technical aspect of device management is completely taken care of with DaaS.
Combat the pressure of increasing and ever-changing demands from your team surrounding their devices. With DaaS, you can strike an ideal balance by taking this responsibility away from individuals within your organisation and putting it in the hands of the experts. Provide your team with the best possible IT solutions in a way that suits their individual needs, with a solution that guarantees what you need and where you need it 100 times out of 100.

Onboard and offboard with ease and security
Load up LinkedIn and you’ll likely only need to scroll for a few minutes before you will come across a post from somebody gushing about starting a new job. Easy onboarding is as important to new starters as it is to your organisation. DaaS provides the ability to give new team members the ideal first day experience, with plug and play device solutions available no matter where they are based. Make sure that your new starters are letting their followers know just how good of a first impression your organisation has made by embracing DaaS.
Of course, when it comes to satisfaction and security, the offboarding process for leavers is just as important as onboarding new starters. DaaS offers a robust and secure process for device retrieval and even the necessary technology to facilitate UK-wide drop offs thanks to options such as smart lockers.
Soothing your familiar pains
Do you know where all of your devices are at any given time? Are all of your devices 100% secure? Are you sure?
Old and forgotten IT can often present one of the biggest security challenges to an organisation. An unused work laptop left lying around in someone’s home office can easily slip through the net of an already highly pressured IT department. With DaaS, your business and team members can operate with 100% certainty that all of the devices across your network are fully secure.
These security capabilities extend to lost or stolen devices too. Remote encryption through DaaS will ensure that any misplaced assets can be secured at any time. We can give your organisation a complete 24/7 view of your inventory, managed by us. We can even tag laptops with the necessary information for a return to be completed should it be found, with a reward for the good Samaritans who have helped to get the device back into the right hands.
A 24/7 society requires 24/7 IT solutions. Thanks to the aforementioned technology that is available with DaaS, we can reduce the wait time to replace lost, stolen or broken devices from days to hours. With smart lockers, you can provide near instant access to new, ready-to-go devices and peripherals for your team. If your device is just in need of a repair, our network of engineers can fix breaks nationwide.
Full lifecycle management
DaaS provides full lifecycle management for your devices. This means that once an asset reaches end of life, we have a comprehensive process for secure and ethical disposal. Machines will be inspected to see if they can be refurbished and put back into stock or resold to generate revenue for our clients. If this is not an option, then devices are Blancco wiped and ethically disposed of. Clients can also choose to take advantage of Commercial’s partnership with ITSA Digital Trust.
As a founding member of the Trust we are incredibly proud to be aligned with their work. By partnering with Commercial all end of life devices will be securely wiped and repurposed and put to use either in Africa or the UK.
Embrace DaaS
Device as a Service brings incredible benefits to your people, devices, IT department and your company as a whole. Embracing DaaS through Commercial will revolutionise your approach to asset management. Pick up the phone to our experts today and take the first step towards secure, reliable, 24/7 device management.
