FAQs
What is device lifecycle management?
Device lifecycle management is your company’s strategy for handling all your equipment. It outlines how you give employees access to tools and ensure devices meet ongoing needs. HR, IT, and procurement teams are usually responsible for overseeing the process.
Managing devices for a large, dispersed workforce can be challenging. That’s why many healthcare companies choose to outsource processes to IT asset management solutions like Deel. Instead of dealing with inventory and updates, your team is free to focus on patient care, employee support, and overall strategy.
What are the benefits of device lifecycle management to healthcare companies?
An effective device lifecycle strategy makes it easier for healthcare companies to scale their processes and expand abroad. You can guarantee employees always have the right tools to perform their jobs well, no matter where they hire. As a result, you can ensure the same quality of patient care across all your operations.
In an industry struggling with rising costs and talent shortages, device lifecycle management also makes companies more resilient. The extra oversight allows you to make more informed decisions about IT budgets and resource allocation. As you can hire overseas more easily, you can tap into foreign hiring pools and source niche talent. Promising candidates will be more likely to join your team when you can offer the latest technology and a seamless onboarding experience.
