Top 5 reasons to rent your IT equipment than buying it

In nearly every professional sector, financing equipment through rental is gaining ground. And IT equipment is no exception.

Why? This solution has economical, practical, and ecological benefits. Here are five advantages of renting IT equipment.

1. 1.  Renting is economically beneficial

4. First and foremost, renting your computer hardware ensures that you pay a fair price for your products, based on your actual usage of them. When your products are no longer useful to you or are no longer in satisfactory condition, you can return them at the end of your contract. This spares you the risk of financing them unnecessarily as would be the case if you had bought them, only to have to throw them away or put them into storage after a few months.

2. 2.  RENTING gives you the right equipment at the right time

4. It’s essential to invest in new technology to maintain your company’s competitiveness and commercial dynamism. This is particularly true for computer hardware, as computers become out of date after just a few years. The option of renting, therefore, allows you to regularly renew your IT equipment while keeping your budget under control.  Through renting, you will have access to the latest products without exceeding your budget to acquire them. In fact, you will only need to pay a fixed rental payment.

1. 3.  RENTing gives you visibility over your budget

3. There’s no risk of unpleasant surprise expenses: rental costs are fixed and stable, distributed over the precise duration of your rent, specified at the moment the contract is signed for your IT equipment.  On the other hand, if you buy technological devices – PCs, tablets, screens, etc. – you can find yourself facing significant unexpected costs when a product becomes obsolete and you must replace it.

1. 4.  RENTing is practical

3. Another advantage of renting rather than purchasing computer equipment is that your employees are relieved of numerous mundane, time-consuming tasks. The financial establishment or loaning entity that you use can actually make an offer to externalize the operational and administrative management of your IT equipment.  In other words, they will take care of installing computers and software, configuring equipment, and performing technical maintenance. Practical!

1. 5.  RENTing is environmentally friendly

3. Renting your computer hardware is more environmentally responsible than buying it. This is true for several reasons. For one, by renting your equipment, as previously mentioned, you will always have access to the most recent hardware, and therefore the most energy-efficient. But that’s not all: the products that you return at the end of your contract are reintroduced into the economic cycle, by either being rented again as used material, or recycled in accordance with national standards. Your ecological footprint is therefore smaller than if you purchased your equipment.
