How can businesses access the latest technology with fixed costs, refresh built in and unlock the circular economy?
This means you’re stuck with ageing technology that reduces organisational efficiency, which has a knock-on effect on team and individual performance, as well as being potentially a serious security issue. Then there’s the sustainability question. Older devices are usually much less power-efficient than new ones, contributing to higher electricity bills.
According to technology research firm Gartner, up to 50% of CIOs will have metrics and KPIs tied to sustainability goals. Dealing with old technology properly is a very easy way to contribute to scores, targets or agreed goals. Just by recycling or trading up at the right time, or even better, using DVaaS (Device as a Service), technology can become a zero-waste-to-landfill business element of any internal sustainability strategy.
DVaaS is a hardware usage model following the same concept as your mobile phone contract – you have the latest technology for a set period of time, before you can hand it back to the provider in exchange for the latest upgrade. You never own the device, but you can use it for the entire agreed period as if you did.
The beauty of partnering with SCC for a DVaaS implementation is that your tech will re-enter the cycle at the right time, and you won’t need to think about it. Your teams will have the latest kit and it’ll be handed back at the right time – no more old phones or laptops going to waste in a cupboard.
But perhaps the most important benefit is the ability to instantly align your technology and IT strategies/budgets with a practice specifically designed to provide tech on a zero-waste-to-landfill basis. You can even add that directly to your sustainability charter!
