Digital Transformation Unleashed PwC and SAP in Action

Transforming Business Models: The Rise of Hardware as a Service

The PwC Team Season 1 Episode 5

In this episode of our podcast, host and PwC partner Munish Gupta and guest Patrick Maroney, principal at SAP’s high-tech industry executive advisory group, explore how organizations can unlock significant advantages by adopting Hardware as a Service (HaaS) — a model that lets them access the latest technology through affordable leasing, rather than costly upfront purchases. They discuss how HaaS can convert capital expenditures into smart services and unlock growth by enabling scalable and manageable hardware solutions. The conversation covers various financial models associated with HaaS, the impact of AI and data intelligence, notable real-world applications in industrial automation and med tech, as well as the challenges and benefits of adopting HaaS. The discussion also highlights the potential contributions to sustainability through refurbished and recycled hardware, and the strategic role of technology partners like SAP in facilitating these transformations.
