Hardware as a Service (HaaS) Option
It is a simple idea but has high returns:
The client pre-pays for the periodic upgrading of the system hardware components. Why?
Capital equipment and technology purchases are a bad investment for end-users. Technology becomes obsolete soon after its purchase; it doesn’t improve over time and needs to be replaced sometimes within 3 years.
Creates a purely “as a service” offering for security system customers.

The Upside of HaaS
- Replaces capital expense with an operating expense
- No minimum commitment
- The client can return, upgrade or downgrade at any time
- Installed equipment can be purchased at any time
- HaaS provides flexibility and scalability without a financial commitment
- Includes system lifecycle management
- Includes hardware support and automatic replacement of any failed equipment
- Newly installed components are of the latest technology
