WILDIX Unified Communications As A Service AGREEMENT

The use of SW and HW as a Service is a pillar of the future economy. End customers can enjoy a top-level experience in Unified Communications without owning assets while utilizing completely risk-free and always-updated business communications services.

Why are companies like yours are moving away from buying products to using products As A Service?

ROI and flexibility are factors, for sure, but everyone is missing the main point that is moving everything in this direction.

Theodore Levitt (1925-2006) was an American economist and a professor at Harvard Business School, and he is famous for this quote: 

People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill, they want a quarter-inch hole.”

Levitt said this in the ‘60s, and it took 50 years for us to really understand it. There is one obvious fact about this quote and one not-so-obvious consequence:

  1. The customer is buying a hole 
  2. The vendor is not selling a hole — for 50 years they kept selling a drill

With the service economy, what you are buying (the hole) is what the vendor is selling (the hole, not the drill). 

For the first time, you have a real alignment between yourself and your provider. Your interest in the communications system is that it allows you to increase revenue and/or decrease costs. Every month you can evaluate its effectiveness, so it becomes in our primary interest that you renew the service every month.  

 Why should you use WILDIX UCC Hardware as a Service?

That’s easy: 

  • You can use it in an unlimited capacity at a fixed price
  • You will get the newest equipment with no additional costs
  • Wildix quality assurance covers broken products
  • Wildix quality assurance covers you with a fire & theft policy
  • You have no responsibilities other than to use the equipment in the right environment
  • You can enjoy this cutting-edge technology in the most convenient way possible 

Join the Hardware as a Service program and focus only on your business results; we will be at your side to ensure you reach them.
