Device as a Service (DaaS)

How “Device as a Service” Works

Like other “as a Service” offerings, DaaS involves partnering with a third-party provider to offer a wide range of relevant services. In the case of DaaS, the provider is responsible for the common management tasks related to smartphones, tablets, and laptops. These include:

• Procurement
• Device management
• Application management
• Logistics
• Incident management (replacements for defects)
• Endpoint Security (Mobile Threat Defense)
• Offboarding (data deletion, refurbishing/recycling)

For those clients who already have an established mobile fleet, but want the advantages of DaaS, there is Everphone’s Buy And Rent Back (BARB) feature. BARB allows clients to sell the ownership of all their existing devices over to Everphone, without needing to physically hand these devices over.

This includes device configuration, software updates, security patches, and application deployment. With centralized management, businesses can effortlessly control and monitor their device fleet, ensuring security and compliance.
• Support and Maintenance: Everphone offers comprehensive technical support and maintenance services. In the event of device issues or malfunctions, the service provider handles the repairs, replacements, or upgrades. This minimizes downtime and ensures employees have fully functional devices at all times. To support these efforts, an entire multichannel helpdesk is provided as a service with expanded service hours, even on holidays and weekends, for direct exchange with end users and/or admins of our clients.
• Data Security and Privacy: Everphone prioritizes data security and privacy. The devices provided through Everphone are equipped with robust security features, such as encryption, remote data wiping, and secure authentication. Additionally, the service provider assists businesses in implementing effective mobile device management (MDM) solutions to enforce security policies and protect sensitive information.
• Flexible Subscription Model: Everphone operates on a flexible, and transparent subscription model, allowing businesses to scale their device fleet up or down based on their needs. This eliminates the need for large upfront investments and provides predictable monthly costs. The subscription typically includes hardware, management services, incident management, telecom expense management, and device upgrades.
• Device Refurbishment and Recycling: At the end of the device lifecycle, the Everphone service ensures proper refurbishment (98% of all devices), and recycling or disposal of broken devices (2%), adhering to environmental standards and regulations. This relieves businesses of the burden of responsibly managing device disposal themselves.
