Mobile Device As A Service (MDaaS)
At a Glance
Your workforce is demanding the best devices and end-user experience possible. You want to give it to them, but you need to manage your mobility budget wisely and need to avoid spending it all on mobile devices alone.
But all too often, that’s what eats up your mobility budget. ReCellular Solutions powered by Sakon’s Mobile Device as a Service (MDaaS) is a monthly subscription that includes both the device and a comprehensive set of services that will delight your end users – tailored to fit your specific needs. And unlike a traditional device purchase, there’s no upfront expense. With a flexible deal structure, you simply select the devices, terms, and services you need...ReCellular Solutions powered by Sakon does the rest.
Business Challenge
Companies are quickly discovering there are many hidden costs in their mobility program that can bloat budgets and cause them to spiral out of control. One area is the significant upfront costs to purchase devices. For example, the latest iPhone is well over $1,000 and, in some configurations, costs more than a MacBook. This can wreak havoc on available cash and budgets, because traditionally the entire device cost is paid upfront.
Another issue companies face is paying more for their ongoing monthly plan cost. Most mobility administrators do not realize that service-plan costs are almost always higher whenever the device is provided by the carrier…whether or not the device is subsidized.
Add to this, new workers are demanding a more consumer-like set of technologies and experiences, with many having not only better personal technology but also the services that come with it. This creates higher demands on the business and on IT departments to constantly keep users upgraded to the latest tech hardware and supporting them with intuitive services 24/7.
