Subscription-based services have always been well-known in the market. From streaming entertainment and music to getting food delivery and beauty products, consumers can get access to these services at a flat monthly rate without having to commit to purchasing the piece upfront.
This "as a service" concept has evolved rapidly, allowing companies to utilise a wider array of tools.
For industries that require IT devices to operate, they should definitely explore more into device as a service (DaaS) solutions as it offers IT rental such as PCs, smartphones and other mobile computing devices as a paid service. By leveraging DaaS, companies can affordably secure both updated IT solutions and support services.
In Malaysia, public listed companies (PLCs) have been required to report ESG-related obligations since 2016. Recently however, Bursa requires listed firms to disclose in more detail the material management, environmental and social risks and opportunities. What this means is ESG will have better regulation and management and companies should be prepared.
Aside from complying better to worldwide sustainability goals, ESG-compliance can also offer companies with tax redemption, grants, and opportunities in increasing ROI. It is also in-line with the zeitgeist of our time, where consumers and stakeholders are more conscious of the need for sustainable business practices for the planet and people. Authentic brands with a good track record in ESG-compliance and sustainability will have a higher chance to win market share.
With Device-as-a-Service (DaaS), there will be less physical devices being wasted after their life cycle ends. Instead, device subscription guarantees that the products will be repurposed, reconditioned and reused. This will thus support a circular economy where materials are kept inside life cycles, facilitated by DaaS services such as DaaS 360.
