The team is growing. Is technology keeping up?

The next hire is confirmed. Now it's a matter of ensuring that, on the first day, there's a computer prepared and suited for the work this person will do.

When the team is small, these decisions get resolved among other priorities. But the business grows, more people arrive, and equipment begins to demand more attention. There are laptops to choose, faults to fix, and devices that already need to be replaced.

Who handles all of this? And how do you plan technology for the coming months?

At iPremium, we work from these questions. We help companies equip their people through DaaS solutions and technology rental, with proposals tailored to each business's needs.

What is DaaS and how it works in companies

DaaS stands for Device as a Service, or equipment as a service. It's a model that allows you to use devices through a contract, typically with a monthly fee, combining the equipment with agreed support services.

For a company, this means being able to plan access to technology and its corresponding support over a defined period.

At iPremium, technology rental for companies begins by understanding the operation: how many people need equipment, what tasks they'll perform, and what are the requirements for each role. From there, we select the devices and structure a proposal with support in logistics, configuration, and management of the technology fleet.

This may involve equipping a new team, renewing existing laptops, or preparing for additional employees to join. The goal is to find a solution that makes sense for that point in the company's journey.

DaaS and SaaS share an idea with different applications

SaaS helps explain this logic.

SaaS stands for Software as a Service, or software as a service. In this model, a company uses applications over the Internet, usually through subscription, while the provider ensures the infrastructure and software maintenance.

DaaS applies similar logic to physical equipment. In both cases, access to technology is organized as a service, with recurring costs and defined conditions.

The main difference, therefore, is what the company uses: in DaaS, equipment; in SaaS, software.

For those already accustomed to subscribing to applications, this comparison makes DaaS easier to understand. The company then plans devices through a usage and support contract.

Choosing equipment starts with knowing your people

The number of employees matters, but it's not enough to choose equipment.

Someone who works mainly with documents and meetings has different needs from someone who uses demanding applications. Someone who spends the day traveling may value battery life and portability more.

That's why we seek to understand the work before recommending a device.

The same care applies to the contract. The company should know which equipment is included, how much it will pay, what support is available, and what options exist at the end of the term.

This clarity helps evaluate technology rental and plan the management of the technology fleet with more information.

iPremium is also growing

iPremium's integration into the ISELL & REPAIR group opened a new stage for the brand, with a wider structure and a commitment to services tailored to companies. The article about this merger already pointed to equipment rental as part of this path.

In May 2026, this new phase of operations began with two people and plenty of organizational work ahead. It was necessary to create processes and prepare a structure capable of supporting our clients.

Today, in October 2026, we are nine: Pedro Marques, Sandra Abreu, Beatriz Magrito, João Lourenço, Afonso Martins, Júlio Ferreira, Lucas Sousa, Bernardo Gonçalves and Margarida Félix.

We are a versatile team with a strong technological component and complementary skills. This reinforcement allows us to better distribute work, share knowledge, and support client requests.

In recent months, these requests have included equipment for new hires, technology fleet renewals, and urgent deliveries after equipment failures. These are situations that demonstrate the importance of having support when operations need to continue.

From SMEs to large enterprises

We work with SMEs and enterprise-sized organizations. We support companies such as Offcoustic, CNS Saúde and Oral Plan, tailoring solutions to each context.

A small company might need a few laptops for its first employees. A larger organization may need to coordinate the arrival of multiple people or plan equipment renewal across different teams.

The quantity changes, as do the support needs. That's why each proposal starts by understanding the client's reality and what they're preparing for in the coming months.

Prepare the next hire with time to spare

If your company is growing, it's worth asking a question before the next urgency arises: are the equipment ready to support this growth?

The answer may reveal devices to upgrade, different needs across roles, or the opportunity to better plan costs and support.

At iPremium, we start with that conversation.

Talk to our team and tell us how many people you need to equip, how they work, and what you're preparing for. From there, we can build a DaaS and technology rental proposal tailored to your company.
