Device as a Service for a 5,000+ Device Clinical and Corporate Estate
A scalable Device as a Service model supporting more than 5,000 devices across a multi-site UK healthcare estate, with lifecycle management designed around clinical availability, information governance, and operational continuity.
Devices across wards, theatres, consulting rooms, and diagnostic areas support day-to-day clinical operations and cannot simply be removed from service for routine maintenance
The service therefore needed to coordinate patching, maintenance, and break/fix activity around clinical schedules while maintaining reliable device availability
Teceze built the DaaS service around the operational realities of a clinical environment, combining activity-aware maintenance, security configuration, multi-OEM build management, and lifecycle-integrated asset control
From ad hoc hiring to a governed, phased rollout, the transformation included:
Patch deployment and device maintenance are scheduled around clinical activity rather than a fixed IT calendar, helping protect availability across wards, theatres, and diagnostic environments
Delivery coordination was managed around the compressed timeline, ensuring the required volume moved efficiently through the logistics process
Separate golden images, driver sets, and firmware baselines are maintained for Dell and Lenovo devices, ensuring consistent build quality and patch currency across both platforms
Asset records are updated at each lifecycle transition, from provisioning and deployment through break/fix, replacement, and retirement, supporting an accurate 5,000+ device register across multiple sites
A defined governance and reporting cadence provides visibility across service performance, compliance, asset accuracy, and operational requirements, enabling issues to be identified and addressed without disrupting clinical activity
| Cadence | Forum | Focus |

| Weekly | Service delivery review | SLA performance, patch status, outstanding issues |
