Platinum Sponsor:



Econocom is a European digital services provider. With over €3.0bn revenue in 2017, 10,700 employees in 19 countries and 40 years’ experience, Econocom helps organisations future-proof their operations for the digital age with ‘as-a-service’ and subscription models. Panasonic and Econocom worked closely together to develop the game-changing ‘Toughbook-as-a-Service’ (TaaS) solution. 

TaaS is an end-tosubscription solution that allows companies to pay for their Toughbook devices on a monthly basis over a three-year period. This eliminates the need for large upfront costs and allows organisations to benefit from an OPEX-based solution rather than a CAPEX one. All TaaS solutions include access to Toughbook devices, delivery, 3-year warranty, helpdesk support, and end-of-life services such as collection, recycling and data wiping.
