From saving valuable capital expenditure with flexible leasing to reusing and recycling older phones for greater sustainability, Device Lifecycle Management takes care of every single smartphone in your business.
As much as 30% of enterprise IT hardware may be missing, lost or going unused, according to an estimate from research consultancy Gartner.
This startling information was revealed onstage as Vodafone introduced over a dozen UK businesses to its Device Lifecycle Management (DLM) Mobile service. The event took place in King’s Cross, London.
Traditionally, businesses would purchase thousands of devices upfront using valuable budget and then dedicate significant IT personnel time in keeping track of, repairing, and eventually disposing of thousands of devices.
Vodafone DLM is a cradle-to-grave service for businesses that takes care of all of this. Its flexible leasing of devices frees up budget for other purposes. Vodafone then takes care of initial device configuration, device tracking, repairs and replacements – ensuring minimal down time – and other time-consuming logistical processes.
The service includes securely wiping returned devices and then, depending on customer needs, ensuring they are reissued to other employees or – if they have reached the end of their useful working lives – refurbished and resold, or safely recycled.
All this helps a business minimise both wastage and e-waste.
