1. Raise your hand if you work from home at least two days a week?

Businesses can realize a number of benefits, but these are the Top 6 Benefits to better Managed Deployment:

1. Operational efficiency: Professional warehousing, inventory management, kitting, and shipping at scale, freeing up your internal IT staff to focus on other critical tasks.

2. Scalability: Leverage your partner's scale to meet changing business needs, whether it's adding new employees or deploying new offices in the U.S., Mexico, or Europe.

3. Cost savings: "Kitting" reduces shipping costs by up to 60%. Eliminate your own warehouse or gain back office space previously used to store computers, monitors, keyboards, etc. No new hiring and training of staff to manage equipment.

4. Faster deployment times: Managed deployment providers should "kit" or package together office seats for deployment, and they have the expertise and resources to quickly configure and deploy devices, ensuring that end-users receive their equipment next day in most cases.

5. Greater Visibility of Inventory: The right partner will provide a self service ordering and inventory reporting portal to access whenever you need.

6. Streamline Employee PC Retrieval: Your partner should integrate with HR systems so you proactively work with employees upon an exiting, firing, or resignation to reduce losing equipment and mitigate potential security breaches.

For businesses that are dealing with the challenges of consolidated office space and remote workers, managed deployment services can be a valuable resource. By outsourcing device deployment and management tasks, businesses can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure that employees have the devices they need to be productive, regardless of their location. Before making the switch to a managed deployment provider, it's important to ask the right questions and assess your current deployment process to see if managed deployment is the right choice for your business.
