Today’s IT decision-makers are faced with the task of setting up modern workplace IT efficiently and in a globally scalable manner. The market is changing rapidly – and so are the requirements for efficient procurement.

Linear IT is reaching its limits.

Cost pressures, compliance requirements, sustainability goals and keeping up with innovations such as AI – the challenges for CIOs and CFOs are more wide-ranging than ever.
The problem: Technology is evolving faster than traditional procurement cycles allow.

Anyone who wants to use digital working environments efficiently has to think IT in a circular way.

Why IT purchasing can't keep up today.

Buying IT hardware was the standard for a long time: Equipment was acquired, depreciated and used for years. This model follows fixed investment logic and requires predictable budgets as well as stable organizational requirements.

Today’s reality is different: Technologies are evolving faster, budgets are under pressure, and requirements are changing on short notice. High one-time investments tie up capital, equipment is used longer than reasonable, and innovations – such as in the field of AI – are delayed in their implementation. At the same time, IT teams are heavily tied up in operations rather than strategic management.

IT purchasing offers control – but makes flexibility, renewal and future viability more difficult.

Make use of IT. Remain flexible.

Instead of owning IT, companies are increasingly relying on flexible usage models. Rental and leasing enable a modern IT operation – with different focal points for scaling, control and services.

Rental

  • Flexibility:
    Predefined IT partners and equipment, scalable at short notice

  • Worldwide coverage:
    Uniform equipment and service standards worldwide

  • Management and responsibility:
    One central point of contact for price, operation and retrieval

  • Services and speed:
    Ready-to-use IT packages, next-day device replacement

IT rental enables fast, standardized access to modern IT – from a single source.

Leasing

  • Flexibility:
    Free choice of partners, equipment and services

  • Worldwide coverage:
    International roll-outs in over 30 countries possible

  • Management and responsibility:
    Direct communication with IT partners about price, performance and delivery

  • Services and speed:
    Individual services for rapid adaptations during operation

IT leasing offers maximum design freedom for equipment, partners and services.
