Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) bundles devices, support, and often lifecycle management
into a monthly fee.

**How it works**

A provider supplies the hardware, deploys it, supports it, and replaces it at set
intervals, typically every three to four years. You pay a predictable monthly charge
per device.

**Advantages**

– **Predictable budgeting** with no large capital expenditure

– **Built-in refresh cycle,** so devices don’t age past usefulness

– **Bundled services,** such as deployment, warranty, and support

– **Scalability,** with devices added or removed as headcount changes

– **Simplified disposal** and data destruction

**Drawbacks**

– **Higher total cost** over time than purchasing, in some cases

– **Contract commitments** and potential penalties for early exit

– **Less flexibility** on hardware choices

– **Condition clauses** about damage or end-of-lease returns

– **Ownership:** you don’t own the asset at the end

**Buying outright makes sense when**

– You can afford the upfront cost

– You’ll keep devices beyond the typical lease term

– You want maximum flexibility and resale control

**Leasing/HaaS makes sense when**

– Cash flow matters

– You want predictable, all-in monthly costs

– You value a managed refresh cycle

– IT resources are limited

**Compare fairly**

Include support, warranty, deployment, and disposal in the buying scenario, then
compare the total cost over four years.
