A few years ago, the daily commute, packed meeting rooms, and fixed office hours defined how we worked. Remote work? Mostly a perk, rarely the norm. IT setups were standardized, and collaboration meant being physically present.
Fast forward to today, and the landscape looks entirely different. What began as a quick pivot to remote setups has now reshaped the working world. Hybrid work isn’t just a passing trend—it’s the new standard. But as this model settles in, global enterprises are taking a step back and asking: How can we make hybrid work not just possible, but truly effective for the long haul?
Managing a workforce spread across multiple time zones and locations is no simple feat. It’s a balancing act between the collaborative energy of the office and the autonomy of remote work. The challenge lies in not just accommodating these dynamics but optimizing them to create an environment where employees feel empowered, engaged, and connected—whether they’re in the office or dialing in from home.
And with these complexities comes an entirely new set of questions. What happens when a critical device fails unexpectedly? How do you ensure that teams across the globe receive the same level of IT support? And most importantly, how can IT teams focus on core business topics when they’re tied down by the daily grind of hardware management?
Suddenly, hybrid work reveals its hidden demands. It’s no longer just about offering remote access to email and meetings. The tech must support agility and flexibility, and it must be reliable. Enter the need for better infrastructure—because without it, the promise of hybrid work falls flat.
This is where Device as a Service (DaaS) from devicenow comes into play. Think of it as the ultimate enabler for hybrid work. By offering flexible access to cutting-edge devices on a subscription basis, DaaS eliminates the burden of managing hardware inventory, while keeping costs predictable. It’s a win-win for global enterprises that need to equip their teams with high-quality devices—without the headache of traditional procurement.
1. Flexibility that Fits the Way You Work
Hybrid work isn’t a one-size-fits-all model. Your teams are scattered around the world, and they need tech that adapts to their schedules and environments. With DaaS, you get just that. Whether employees are working from home, at a café, or hopping between offices, DaaS provides the devices they need, when they need them, so they’re always ready to hit the ground running. And with full lifecycle management, everything—from procurement to deployment and maintenance—is taken care of, so your teams can stay focused on their work, not on the logistics of hardware.
2. Predictable IT Costs
Let’s face it—keeping track of IT expenses can feel like a game of whack-a-mole. DaaS removes the unpredictability by offering fixed monthly subscriptions. Say goodbye to large, upfront hardware investments and unexpected replacement costs. With devicenow’s DaaS, IT budgeting is straightforward and stress-free. And when things go wrong, there’s no need to worry—next-business-day swaps mean your teams can stay productive, even if something goes wrong with a device.
3. Empowering Collaboration Across Borders

DaaS ensures that employees are equipped with the latest devices—optimized for high-performance tasks like video calls, file sharing, and real-time collaboration. This isn’t just about getting the job done; it’s about doing it well, no matter where your people are. With global coverage in 190+ countries, your teams will never miss a beat, no matter where they’re based.
4. Global Support, Local Expertise
In a hybrid world, your teams might be working in different corners of the globe. But just because they’re in different time zones doesn’t mean they should be left hanging when they need support. Devicenow offers global coverage and local expertise, ensuring your devices are always up and running—no matter where your teams are based. This approach keeps your IT team from being bogged down by routine tasks, allowing them to focus on the bigger picture.
As hybrid work becomes an integral part of the corporate landscape, businesses need to rethink how they equip their teams. The devices your employees use play a crucial role in determining how effectively they can collaborate, stay productive, and feel supported in their roles. With devicenow’s DaaS, global enterprises get the flexibility, cost control, and support they need to thrive in the hybrid future.
So, if you’re looking to make hybrid work more sustainable, efficient, and scalable, it might be time to rethink your tech strategy. With devicenow, you’ve got a partner who understands the challenges of a hybrid workforce and provides the solutions to keep your teams ahead of the curve.
