Leave the worries of IT ownership behind – get your devices as a service
IT devices and workstations for businesses and public sector organisations with a fixed monthly fee. Getting your IT equipment as a service saves you time, keeps your balance sheet light, and reduces your environmental impact. There is a wide selection to choose from, with both PCs and Macs.
Getting devices as a service is a flexible option
IT-devices as a service turns your organisation’s computers from a fixed cost into a flexible one that scales with your actual number of employees. The service can handle large delivery volumes and customised logistics solutions with ease. It is therefore suitable for organizations of all sizes, whether they use 50 or 5,000 workstations.
Paying a monthly fee for your IT devices and workstations makes life easier in many ways. You avoid unnecessary upfront costs and only pay for devices in use. No more shelves full of unused equipment – and every device is recycled securely when it reaches the end of its life.
Our service devices include a selection of both PCs and Macs. You can choose to include just one in your service (PCaaS or MACaaS, i.e., PC/Mac as a Service) or combine both. We offer a wide range of models from leading manufacturers to cover every need. Every device has its own strengths, and we are happy to help you choose the right one for your organisation.
Our logistics and pre-installation centre is located in Salo, Finland. All devices are handled in secure facilities with dedicated access zones, security levels, and 24/7 IT infrastructure monitoring – always meeting at least elevated security standards.

Reasons to get IT devices as a service
Simplifying IT operations: Your internal IT department can focus their time on more productive tasks. There are no separate leasing liabilities on the devices, availability is guaranteed through buffer warehousing, and the entire device lifecycle is managed from start to finish – without compromising on security.
Predictable finance and procurement: The service delivers significant cost savings, brings added certainty and cost-efficiency to daily operations, and makes budgeting easy and transparent.
Increased employee satisfaction: A sufficient number of functioning tools is always guaranteed. Employees can choose between PCs and Macs based on their personal preference and role, while the lifecycle service ensures that procurement remains sustainable.
A responsible choice
Getting your devices as a service is an environmentally responsible choice. The purchase of new devices has a major impact on a company’s carbon footprint. Annual CO₂ emissions can be reduced by 20.5% compared to a traditional leasing model (Sitowise critical assessment, 100-device environment).

Order and deploy to suit your needs
Ordering devices is easy: we will set up your organization’s own procurement portal within our online store, available 24/7. User rights will be defined for designated individuals to place orders. The selection of available devices is agreed upon with you in advance, and these specific models will be visible in your organization’s portal. If needed, you can build approval workflows into the online store, ensuring orders automatically progress according to your organization’s internal approval process.
Your organization can order new devices at whatever pace suits your deployment needs: you can upgrade all devices at once or replace older hardware gradually.
1. All at once
We replace your company’s entire device fleet in one go and buy back your old devices. Your employees get modern tools right away.
2. Gradually
If you prefer to use your existing devices as long as possible, you can switch to service devices gradually as your current hardware retires.
From our online store, you can also easily order accessories such as headsets, laptop bags, chargers, protective cases, and everything else needed for productive work. We deliver directly to your company’s offices – or even to remote workers’ home offices.
Getting devices as a service or leasing?
There are significant differences between acquiring devices as a service and financing them through a traditional leasing agreement.
Getting devices as a service
- No fixed term: Device procurement as a service with a fixed monthly fee and no fixed-term commitment.
- Full lifecycle management: Tietokeskus handles everything: delivery, pre-installation, setting up devices to be ready-for-use, maintenance, support, and secure recycling.
- Flexibility: Devices can be returned flexibly – no extra costs for unused hardware.
Leasing
- Fixed-term commitment: Renting equipment under a fixed-term monthly contract.
- Fragmented procurement process: Delivery, installation, maintenance, and support may all come from different vendors, leading to additional costs.
- Rigid terms: Devices cannot be returned before the end of the lease term without penalties – unused devices sit on the shelf while costs keep running.
