A/V Equipment As A Service

AV equipment is becoming a mission-critical technology need for many businesses. But, using large sums of capital to pay to own AV equipment is not the smartest financial decision for many organizations. Technology is ever-evolving and advancing. Technology also depreciates at an alarmingly rapid pace. Learn about a financial solution that will lift the burdens of having to own the technology. Discover Shield, AV Equipment as a Service. The way to pay for AV technology that gives you flexibility, control, and peace of mind in a monthly payment.

What is AV As A Service (AVaaS)?

AVaaS is a termed rental agreement. You pay a convenient monthly price for your AV equipment and receive the freedom to scale your solution if your organization grows, changes or the technology is no longer allowing you to operate efficiently. Our AVaaS product has additional benefits like natural disaster coverage, locking in today's labor rates on maintenance and support, multiple end of term options, and specialized accounting treatment for operating expenses.

The Smart Way to Pay

Based on market indicators AV as a service payment models make the most logical sense for acquiring a depreciating asset, like AV hardware. The value lies in the USE rather than ownership of the equipment. Subscription or as a service payment models are everywhere for a reason. And Shield, when compared to other options, is the smartest way to pay both financially and technologically.

Rental vs Ownership

AV and technology, in general, is a constantly evolving industry. With billions spent on R&D each year, the days of holding on to your technology solutions for 10-20 years is a dated concept and does more harm than good. With AV, it can hold you back from operating at the most efficient level. Also, technology equipment is something that will never gain value. It is a depreciating asset in a rapidly advancing industry. Therefore, owning technology is not an investment. Investments are intended to make you money. So what do you really end up owning? There is no bonus to owning old technology. This is why Shield, AV equipment as a service, came to market. It addresses the technical and financial burdens of traditional payment options so you can focus on operating not getting handcuffed to equipment.
