Hardware as a Service Recent events have had a huge impact on business procurement processes. After the initial rush to equip staff for remote working before the first lockdown, many projects have been put on hold due to budget issues, particularly capital expenditure budgets (CAPEX). This has a knock on effect for those supplying businesses with IT products and services. 1) Flexible monthly or quarterly payments. 2) 12/24/36 month terms. 3) Zero asset management. 4) Zero support replacement costs. 5) Open framework agreements. 6. Single agreement only, add further products at any time. 7) Product vendor agnostic. 8) Global deployment. 9) CAPEX discounts included. 10) Residual values built-in at start of agreement. 11) Hardware, software, support, deployment and professional services can be included. 12) Zero impact on partner credit. 13) Increased margins and faster payments. 14) Options to keep some, all or replace. But there is a Solution…Hardware as a Service (HaaS) allows customers to start procuring again without an impact on their CAPEX budgets. HaaS provides an open framework to purchase any products or services in an open framework agreement. With flexibility around terms and the ability to add products and services along the way, or even purchase some outright at the end, HaaS is an Operating Expense (OPEX) model that fixes their monthly OPEX costs for the duration of the agreement. And for Resellers who use HaaS for their end user projects, there is no impact on their own credit lines as that is all handled directly with the end user and there is also opportunity for increased margin and faster payments. Benefits of HaaS Talk to our Solutions experts and let us show you there's an alternative to CAPEX. Call one of our team on 020 8296 7015 or visit www.northamber.com/haas for more details & to arrange a call back. Additional benefits of the OPEX model • No need to try and predict the future! Know that your clients have the options to retain some, all or totally refresh at the end of the agreement term. • The ‘as a Service’ approach also has other benefits when it comes to flexibility, making it easier to scale up and down as required, adding new devices or hardware. • This ensures the business only pays for what it needs at the time rather than having additional tech gathering dust.
