About Services Case Studies Blog Contact Us Procurement Buy Security Outcomes, not depreciating assets Would you buy a electrical substation to power your home? Why are you buying hardware and software that power your security? Purchase outcomes that matter from a managed services firm that understands them and owns them. Technology solutions are nonrevenue generating assets because they rapidly depreciate the day after they are installed. Paying cash with after-tax dollars on nonrevenue generating assets defies basic economics. Technology today is essential-use, but there’s a big difference between being essential and making good economic choices for your organization. With Star Asset Security you have a way to absorb the myriad of non-recoverable costs associated with acquiring new technology while maintaining the ability to keep your working capital, working! You are packaging everything into one all-inclusive monthly subscription payment for 36 or 60-months. This includes the hardware equipment and support services to insure your solution is serving you optimally. Technology R&D and Your Risk are Outpacing Your Ability to Adapt Customers are realizing use & access are more important than ownership due to technology rapidly changing, for the better, with no sign of it slowing down. Just look to major manufacturer's and their 2019/2020 R&D budgets*: Microsoft: 28.32% Cisco: 12.87% AXIS Communications: 18.00% Barco: 12.25% * R&D spend based on reported 2019/2020 figures.
