Microsoft Teams is taking the UCaaS market by storm, with 115 million daily active users, and a growing community of dedicated fans. To ensure that its technology stays one step ahead of the competition, Microsoft frequently rolls out new features, services, and functionality for its customers. One of the most recent additions to the portfolio is the introduction of a new Device as a Service option, or “DaaS” for Teams.

Offering companies an easy way to access the hardware they need for more meaningful meetings; the Device as a Service offering will transform the modern meeting room. With Microsoft, companies will be able to access the products they need on a subscription basis, reducing the need for expensive hardware investments.

The Hardware You Need, on Demand

The DaaS solution is a payment option offered to users through Microsoft’s trusted partners. All you need to do to get started is to choose the products you want, the duration of your plan, and pick your end-of-contract options for financing.

Because there’s less to pay for up-front, you get more money left over for further IT investments or digital transformation strategies. Microsoft also promises that companies can scale however they choose, adding phones, peripherals, accessories, and room systems at a pace that suits them. You can even create custom bundles.

Since you’re only accessing the devices as-a-service, you also have the freedom to upgrade to the latest technology at the end of your contract, without having to recycle your old equipment. It’s a great way to stay ahead of the curve.

Mix and Match Your Hardware

You can start choosing the devices you want to access as-a-service on the Microsoft store today. Options include everything from Jabra and Logitech headsets, to Poly speakerphones, Yealink desk phones, immersive teams displays, HP, Crestron, and Lenovo Teams rooms, and so much more.

Customers can start small with collaboration bars that offer all-in-one functionality, add in room system accessories, and web cameras, and even choose mounting systems for their tech. Once you’ve built the ultimate shopping cart for your Microsoft Teams room, you can apply for device financing.

Financing options are available for some companies if you create a qualifying order. You can select from a range of financing options as they’re presented to you and apply through one of the providers supported by Microsoft. After that, it’s as simple as installing your devices and using Teams. You can decide at the end of the contract if you want to move to new technology, refinance, or give your tech back.
