Without Mobile as a Service
Imagine you're playing for a professional rugby team. You’ll need boots, the right size jersey, a mouth-guard and socks. Now imagine you have to get all of these for the whole team, plus replace them when they get lost or worn out. It’d be much easier if a Gear Manager got all of these for you, right?
Mobile as a Service (MaaS)
Now, think of Mobile as a Service (MaaS) as the Gear Manager for your business. Instead of each employee having to manage their phone, get the right apps, keep them updated, and deal with any problems, MaaS takes care of the lot. It's like the Gear Manager who provides everything for the team. This way, your employees can focus on their jobs, like players just focusing on playing rugby. The benefit is, everything is simpler, safer, and everyone can work better together. Plus, if there's ever a problem, there's a Gear Manager to fix it.
MaaS in action
Check out 5 key benefits we bring to NZHG’s table.
MaaS Benefits
Standardised Smartphones

Elimination of support overhead
The NZHG IT department no longer deals with the considerable logistics and support requirements emerging from more than 7,000 handsets in the field. This sharpens focus on value-adding activities, particularly around the crucial NZHG app used by its people to manage their workday.
Predictable costs
Support is eased with a single handset brand and model dominating the NZHG mobile device fleet. This reduces the cost of support, improves reliability and time to repair, and eases replacement when necessary.
Hassle-free, reliable device fleet
With Mobile as a Service, every employee has a quality, reliable smartphone in their hands at all times. Repairs and replacements are handled rapidly, minimising business disruption and contributing to effective patient/customer service.
Reduced telecommunications spend
No-fee on-net calling combines with generous data and free calling allocations for a significant reduction in operational cost.
New Zealand Health Group
“We got started with this option back in 2020 and it has proven highly effective. It’s even delivered some unexpected benefits, including a substantial reduction in spend on telecommunications costs thanks to the allocations, rollover data provided by 2degrees, and the fact that on-net calling incurs no charges,”
