Business Moves: Why Digicape rentals are the best way to go"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Staying ahead of the curve is crucial in South Africa\u2019s fast-paced and turbulent business landscape.<\/p>\n<p>To thrive in a competitive economy, businesses are making the smart choice of equipping their teams with high-performing Apple technology.<\/p>\n<p>These devices enhance employee productivity, have the longest battery life &#8211; up to 22 hours* -, and are the most secure personal computers.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a

Digicape.<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many businesses still have the misconception that there are higher costs associated to Apple Devices.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s where renting business equipment becomes the smart solution.<\/p>\n<p>Rental finance is one of the least-used, yet best ways to affordably equip your business with Apple devices.<\/p>\n<p>According to Gaynor MacArthur, CEO and Business Solutions Expert at Digicape, rentals offer numerous advantages for businesses of all sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Purchasing equipment isn\u2019t cheap and requires hefty working capital that most businesses in South Africa simply don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n<p>Renting is a cost-effective solution that allows you to upgrade to the latest, most relevant technology while avoiding the financial implications and administrative complexities associated with ownership.<\/p>\n<p>MacArthur emphasises the financial benefits of renting, stating, &#8220;Rentals allow businesses to free up their cash flow and allocate resources more efficiently.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Instead of making a substantial upfront investment, rentals enable businesses to spread the cost over a manageable period, preserving their financial flexibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A rental frees up capex for ongoing expenses such as Microsoft licensing, security features and software updates.<\/p>\n<p>Rentals also enable companies to move the cost of a capital item to an operational expense, which simplifies tax as there is no need to depreciate the item over the South African Revenue Service-sanctioned timeline.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_712086\" style=\"width: 537px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a  data-lightbox=\"post-image\"

Beyond the Initial Savings &#8211; Managing the Estate<\/h3>\n<p>According to MacArthur, rentals do so much more than save companies from hefty initial costs.<\/p>\n<p>Digicape Rental Solutions is a game-changer for businesses, providing a comprehensive and hassle-free approach to managing the lifecycle of their Apple device.<\/p>\n<p>With Digicape&#8217;s expertise in IT solutions, businesses can offload the burden of device management and focus on their core operations.<\/p>\n<p>From procurement to deployment, Digicape takes care of every aspect, ensuring that businesses have the right Apple Devices tailored to their needs.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Digicape monitors the health and performance of the rental devices, providing proactive maintenance and support to minimise downtime and maximise productivity.<\/p>\n<p>With Digicape Rental Solutions, businesses can experience a seamless and worry-free rental experience, allowing them to thrive without the complexities of managing their MacBook rentals.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, MacArthur highlights the flexibility aspect of rentals, explaining how they provide the agility businesses need in today&#8217;s fast-paced environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs technology advances, rentals allow for easy upgrades and access to the latest models, ensuring your team always has the cutting-edge tools to drive productivity and innovation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>MacArthur also emphasises the reduced risk associated with renting, noting that &#8220;with rentals, businesses can avoid the risks of depreciation and technology obsolescence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The burden of maintaining and disposing of outdated equipment is shifted to the provider, allowing businesses to focus on their core operations without worrying about the lifespan of their devices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the lease, the equipment is either returned and refurbished or disposed of safely, says MacArthur.<\/p>\n<p>Companies don\u2019t need to find storage space to store all these items until they can properly dispose of them to comply with environmental, social and governance (ESG) requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The most affordable way to own a Mac is through Digicape\u2019s Business Rental programme, which helps you to leverage both trade-in and the best possible rental rate over 36 months.<\/p>\n<p>And you can extend the rental period when it ends or decide to upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>As Gaynor MacArthur aptly puts it, &#8220;Renting is the best way to equip your team with top-of-the-line Apple Devices, enabling them to thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.digicape.co.za\/business?utm_source=BusinessTech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_term=August+2023\"
