Renting instead of buying provides upfront benefits for your company’s finances. Renting your IT, as opposed to ownership, provides a compelling argument:

• Rental improves cash flow and frees up funds, which releases capital for investment.
• Minimise the funding burden. Instead of an upfront purchase, you can now structure your IT expenditure over its useful life cycle, hence freeing up cash and having a predictable trend of IT spend, making budgeting more accurate.
• Rental payments can be treated as an operational expense. This allows you to track costs by department, to measure expenditure and allocate resources.
• Renting stretches your dollar per PC for your organisation. More PCs with the same configuration mean more effective support and maintenance. This also avoids "piecemeal" acquisition, which perpetuates a company's diverse & mismatch infrastructure.
• Renting helps to establish a defined life cycle for IT equipment. This provides a visible IT refresh plan, passes obsolescence and ethical disposal risks to the rental company.
• A capital purchase tends to lock your organisation into the IT asset. It is difficult to roll back a capital purchase decision. Renting gives the customer flexibility to make changes during the rental period, to upgrade equipment when necessary and passes equipment ownership risks and issues to the rental provider.
• Through rental your organisation can reduce maintenance and support costs. Such costs are borne by the rental company. In particular, Rentwise's SDOE (Standard Desktop Operating Environment) reduces recurring compatibility and security issues found in a diverse and mismatched IT environment. This reduces your organisation's overall support costs.
• Rental means no disposal issues and costs. We offer flexibility at the end of the rental period including deinstallation, auditing, data wipe or HDD destruction, and collection & disposal of IT equipment, to meet your organisation's standards.
• Our SDOE plan has the option of utilising high quality Tier 1 refurbished PCs. In many areas, particularly with clerical and basic application usage, the use of new PCs is not necessary. Renting high quality Tier 1 refurbished PCs lowers the total cost of IT and overcomes issues relating to the maintenance of older PCs.

The bottom line is that owning a computer can be a management headache and costly.
