Value Added Services
Taking the friction out of IT procurement, deployment and lifecycle management
Buying IT hardware is easy.
Deploying it properly, managing it consistently, and disposing of it securely is
where the real work is.
At Deane Computer Solutions, our value added services are designed to remove
operational overhead, reduce risk, and ensure technology is delivered ready to
work, not “ready for IT to fix”.
We act as an extension of your team, managing the practical details so your internal
resources can focus on running the business.
Upgrades, Updates & Configuration
Built, upgraded and ready to deploy
When you purchase hardware through Deane Computer Solutions, we don’t just ship boxes. We prepare equipment so it arrives fit for purpose and ready to work.
We regularly:
- Upgrade client devices with additional RAM, storage or graphics cards..
- Customise client kits to suit specific roles or workloads
- Update or build bespoke server configurations aligned to performance, resilience and growth requirements
- Apply firmware and BIOS updates
- Ensure all equipment leaves us fully patched and up to date
Where required, we can also:
- Apply customer-specific build standards.
- Deploy approved system images
- Pre-install applications, security tooling and management agents
The result is hardware that arrives deployment-ready, reducing setup time,
eliminating rework, and ensuring consistency across your environment.
This ensures the equipment you invest in is delivered as a working solution, not
just a shipment.
Warehousing & Call-Off Services
Buy in volume, deploy on your terms
For many organisations, storage space and logistics become a real constraint, particularly during large projects or phased rollouts.
We provide secure warehousing facilities where:
- Hardware supplied by Deane Computer Solutions can be held on your behalf
- Stock can be called off as and when required
- Equipment can be staged, configured and prepared ahead of deployment
This is particularly valuable where:
- Office or site storage is limited
- Projects are rolled out over time
- Hardware is purchased in bulk for cost efficiency
You retain control of the assets. We manage the logistics and readiness.
Asset Tagging & Identification
Know what you own and where it is
IT hardware is a significant investment. Losing visibility of it is both costly and unnecessary.
We can:
- Apply your asset tags to supplied devices before deployment
- Capture serial numbers, models and specifications
- Record cost codes or internal references where required
- Link asset details to delivery and deployment records
When equipment is issued, the information is captured accurately, giving you a clear and auditable view of your estate.
Inventory Management
Visibility without the admin burden
Keeping asset information current across sites and teams is time-consuming and often inconsistent.
We can manage:
- Asset records for hardware supplied by Deane Computer Solutions
- Deployment location and site allocation
- Warranty and lifecycle information
- Stock held in warehouse, in transit or awaiting deployment
Where required, we can also:
- Ship devices fully enabled for remote management
- Maintain assets under our managed services
- Track equipment from purchase through to end of life
This provides reliable asset visibility without manual effort or fragmented spreadsheets.
Drop Shipping & Pre-Built Bundles
Equipment delivered ready to work
We regularly support customers by building and shipping pre-defined hardware
bundles directly from bonded stock.
Typical examples include:
- New starter kits containing a laptop, mouse, bag and accessories…
- Desktop bundles with PC, screens, keyboard, mouse and mat…
- Role-specific kits built to a defined standard
Bundles can be:
- Pre-configured
- Asset tagged
- Shipped just-in-time to a location of your choice
This is particularly effective for onboarding, site expansions and project-based
deployments where timing and consistency matter.
Entra Enrolment & Device Management
Devices enrolled before they arrive
Modern device management starts long before a user signs in.
We can:
- Extract device hardware hashes from supplied equipment
- Enrol devices into Microsoft Entra ID
- Provide hashes where customers prefer to manage enrolment themselves
- Fully manage enrolment, user assignment and configuration if required
Devices can arrive:
- Pre-registered
- Secure
- Policy-driven
- Ready for first login
This significantly reduces deployment time and ensures consistency from day one.
Secure Asset Disposal & Recovery
End-of-life handled properly
Disposing of IT equipment securely and responsibly is often overlooked and frequently mishandled.
We provide:
- Secure collection or receipt of end-of-life equipment
- Certified data wiping on a per-device basis where required
- Documentation and certification of destruction
- Environmentally responsible disposal
Where appropriate, equipment can be:
- Refurbished
- Resold
- Processed under a revenue-share arrangement
This ensures data security, compliance and value recovery where possible.
