Next in line is the Lenovo ThinkShield, which is a custom solution that secures the critical data and business technologies with comprehensive end-to-end protection. The company has also launched Smart Fleet Services, which is an IT asset management service that is designed to help SMBs gain control of their endpoints, increase security and compliance, optimise end user experience, and automate routine manual tasks to free up IT time and resources.

Lastly, the company has launched a service called Device-as-a-Service (DaaS), which combines hardware, services and software into a single, configurable solution for a predictable, affordable periodic fee. Lenovo says that the flexible financing supports customers seeking to restructure their IT infrastructure without having to make significant CapEx purchases at a time when cash flow is limited.

“At Lenovo, we offer end to end IT management for SMBs freeing IT staff to focus on strategic efforts and get time on their side. Today we are excited to share some of these services and solutions and introduce the perfect device solution for the new workforce - ThinkBook Plus. In Q1 FY2021, we became #1 in the SMB segment with 32% market share, and we are on a strong path of transitioning from a PC supplier to an end to end services and solutions provider,” Ashish Sikka, Director - SMB, Lenovo India said on the occasion.
