PC as a Service (PCaaS)

Eligible Commonwealth employees can expect a fully-managed, new device every 4 years - all for a predictable, per-device/per-month subscription.

Personal Computer as a Service (PCaaS) combines hardware, software, servicing, and financing into one predictable model, simplifying end user PC lifecycle management. EOTSS purchases, manages, retires and refreshes all end user PCs, and provides inventory asset management (including deployment and stockroom logistics), negotiates enterprise vendor contracts, and works with vendors to repair and replace PCs that are still covered under warranty.
