In both, the private and business worlds, behavior is changing: owning a technological asset is no longer an end in itself, given the rapid obsolescence of the equipment available on the IT market.
Indeed, having high-performance and reliable equipment at your disposal in all circumstances is a necessity to preserve the company’s competitiveness: the IT equipment is homogeneous, costs are smoothed over time, and expenses can be refocused on productivity areas.
The use of the property, rather than its ownership: that’s the benefit of renting!
Rent rather than own: welcome to the economy of use
To favor the use over the ownership of an asset such as a PC, whose value decreases very quickly and whose lifespan does not exceed 3 years: this trend is now well established in people’s minds, for several years already.
Rent rather than buy: take a different look at the cost of equipment
The circular economy, which is a natural extension of the use economy, is an alternative to the traditional linear “buy, use, throw away” model.
This means that the intrinsic value of the asset is changing. It is no longer the equipment itself that has value, but the use that is made of it and the performance gain that is obtained. It is the economy of use.
Renting rather than buying servers, computers and printers means having a high-performance and homogeneous IT system: the flexible of an evolutive renting contract offers the possibility of replacing any outdated IT asset with the latest equipment, at any time during the term of the contract.
This flexibility also eliminates excessive maintenance costs to overcome the lack of efficiency of outdated IT equipment.
Rent rather than buy: your cash flow says yes!
By renting your IT equipment, you transform your capital expenditures (CAPEX) into operating expenses (OPEX).
CAPEX | OPEX |
Purchased assets are recorded in Capex (Capital Expenditure) and depreciated over several years. | In the case of renting, the rents are included in the operating budget (Opex or operational expenditure) covering recurring expenses. |

The investment capacity is dedicated to core business activities (R&D) for greater productivity. No significant cash outlay, monthly payments spread over time, adapted to cash flows. No advance VAT, it will be paid every month. |
