“Modern Mobility: Why Enterprise choose Device-as-a-Service with Samsung Enterprise Solutions”
Digital transformation is reshaping how organizations equip and support the frontline workforce.
As business processes become more mobile, cloud-connected, and data-driven, expectations for device reliability, performance, and security have never been higher. Yet traditional “buy-and-own” mobile procurement models were not designed for the speed, scale, and complexity of today’s environments.
Frontline-heavy industries such as healthcare, manufacturing, utilities, transportation, and public safety routinely encounter harsh operating conditions, rapid employee turnover, and continuous workflow changes. Under these realities, device fleets struggle to remain standardized, secure, and up to date. IT teams are stretched thin from initial provisioning through break/fix support and often lack clear visibility into lifecycle costs. The result: rising repair rates, unmanaged software drift, and inconsistent user experiences across the field.
Device-as-a-Service (DaaS) offers a modern alternative. Instead of managing the full device lifecycle internally, organizations pay a predictable monthly fee that covers hardware, provisioning, software configuration, warranty support, device management, and refresh cycles all from a single provider. This model provides a substantial shift from capital expenditure (CapEx) to operating expenditure (OpEx), enabling improved budget predictability, easier scaling, and faster deployment of standardized hardware.

“The value of wearable repositioning sensor technology as an adjunct to pressure injury prevention”
The LEAF Patient Monitoring System helps prevent hospital-acquired pressure injuries, which in turn raises quality of care and lowers costs.
Regular repositioning of patients is critical for preventing hospital acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs), which raise the risk of morbidity and mortality and are a major contributor to high healthcare costs. Wearable wireless sensors such as the LEAF Patient Monitoring System can be a valuable adjunct to HAPI prevention by monitoring patients’ body positions and sending repositioning reminders to hospital staff. The LEAF system offers several advanced features, including the ability to set patient-specific parameters for the frequency and angle of repositioning, visual cues and automatic documentation of compliance with repositioning protocols. Several studies have demonstrated the positive impact of the LEAF system on repositioning compliance, HAPI prevention and quality of care. Using the wearable sensors could result in an annualized cost reduction of $6.2 million, one recent study suggested.
