ITaaS brings much needed flexibility in IT procurement for Middle East organizations

DUBAI, UAE: IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS) is, in essence, the delivery of technology on a subscription basis, thereby turning Information Technology from a capital to an operational expense.

With ITaaS, technology solutions can be deployed as and when needed and organisations only need to pay for what they use. This allows IT to be a strategic enabler of the business while helping to ensure that the purchase and consumption of IT services is always fully aligned to business requirements.

Moving towards a subscription model can significantly reduce upfront costs, making IT expenditure more regular and predictable and giving organisations greater financial transparency. The fact that organizations are buying a service, rather than the IT equipment itself, should also give businesses greater access to expert technical support and the latest, up-to-date hardware.
