Your Business Can Use HaaS

Just like how your organization relies on hardware solutions to keep operations moving, this hardware relies on regular refreshes which keep it in proper working order. If you fail to replace or maintain the solutions that you have in place, you’ll be more likely to experience downtime, or at least hardware failure. Managed IT has provided SMBs with a way to bypass many of the frustrations involved with acquiring new hardware in the form of Hardware as a Service.

HaaS helps your organization keep its critical hardware running. This includes servers, workstations, networking components, and more. While these technology solutions require daily maintenance in order to run at maximum efficiency, they often need to be replaced after a certain amount of wear and tear. By working with a managed service provider to implement HaaS, you can maximize the amount of mileage you get out of your hardware solutions, all while obtaining new technology without breaking the bank. We believe that your organization shouldn’t have to suffer due to an unforeseen hardware failure.

Chances are that your organization doesn’t upgrade its hardware as often as it should. While your technology budget might be limited, this mindset will hold your organization back from implementing new hardware solutions that can boost productivity and improve operations. It’s often difficult to know when it’s time to invest in new hardware, but unexpected hardware failures can throw a wrench in your plans. In other words, you’re paying to both replace your hardware, and to make up for downtime that can cause trouble for your organization.

Hardware as a Service addresses many of the problems that businesses have with hardware management. Thanks to monthly payments and a service level agreement, you can expect new hardware when it’s needed at an affordable cost. Here are some of the many benefits of HaaS.

  • An IT roadmap: Knowing where you’re going in on a trip is great, and so is knowing when your hardware goes through its next refresh. We can help you plan out a special IT roadmap that includes hardware refreshes and overall maintenance of your network’s health. This keeps your network from going too long without a proper upgrade.
  • Lower upfront costs: Since you only pay a flat monthly rate for new technology, you’ll be able to afford it much more easily. HaaS providers can also take future upgrades and management into account when picking equipment for your organization, allowing you to save money down the road.
  • The latest hardware, now: You’ll be using the latest hardware solutions that help you stay one step ahead of the game. This means that you’ll be able to take great strides in productivity and functionality that may not have been initially available for your organization.

Do you want your business to take full advantage of the latest and greatest hardware solutions on the market? COMPANYNAME can help. To learn more, reach out to us at PHONENUMBER.

Is New Hardware Procurement on Your IT Budget?

b2ap3_thumbnail_hardware_cost_400.jpg Depending on how long you’ve had your current workstation, you might start to see performance problems. Eventually, you’ll start to see issues that could cause downtime and lead to wasted assets. Therefore, you need to have a plan in order to replace your hardware before it fails. What’s the best way to do this without breaking your budget?

The answer is easy, and it’s called hardware procurement. This is way to help your business commit to regular hardware refreshes without spending an exorbitant amount of cash doing so. Through hardware procurement, you can get replacement servers, workstations, network components, and so much more without having to pay for them up-front.

How it Works
Purchasing new hardware can often be a financial problem, especially for big ticket items. You might be in the red for months following a hardware failure, or even up to a year. Still, even if it’s expensive, hardware refreshes are borderline necessary if you want to make sure that your business doesn’t fall victim to the eventual hardware failure, which can cause data loss. The question, therefore, is how you can accomplish all of this without breaking your IT budget.

Let’s Get Started with an Assessment
Are you unsure about investing in hardware procurement? COMPANYNAME can offer you a complete assessment of your IT infrastructure. This tells us if you have any outdated hardware components that are running in a way which might threaten your network with downtime. Furthermore, we can build you out an IT roadmap that helps you plan out your hardware refreshes for the next five or even ten years. This is crucial if you want to make sure that your organization can best implement new hardware in the long run.

Routinely updating your hardware is an important part of keeping your network secure, as well. Older hardware may not be getting the proper security patches and updates, which could put your business at risk of hacking attacks, in addition to the amplified risk of hardware failure. You don’t have the luxury of waiting until something bad happens to you, as the threat is omnipresent and could happen at any time.
