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.

Refresh Planning & Coordination

EOTSS will meet with Secretariat Designees on a Quarterly basis to review current deployed inventory, assets with expiring warranties/due for a refresh, identify additional/changes to existing needs, and get input on existing standard configurations and business drivers that may warrant a change.

Chargeback Services

All components* of PCaaS are combined under a single, flat, per-device, per-month subscription fee**.

Return the device when it is no longer needed. The subscription fee pauses and the device (and licenses, where applicable) can be reallocated to a different user.

*Except additional peripherals

**For FY24, there will be no cost for the PCaaS offering.  Cost/additional cost may apply for Enhanced devices, additional devices in excess of the number of users in each Agency, non-standard requests or additional peripherals and accessories.
