Technology as a Service

Get the full system today.
Budget it like a subscription.

If equipment needs servicing or you need support, you're covered.

Some clients prefer to pay for their system upfront. Others want a predictable monthly payment that covers everything: design, installation, monitoring, support, and proactive equipment upgrades for as long as they subscribe. Either way, Livewire has you covered.

No pressure, just a clear plan.  |  Serving Richmond and Central Virginia.

What Is TAAS?

Technology you use every day,
priced like a subscription.

Most technology projects come with one large upfront cost. You pay, it gets installed, and a few years later you're facing another large investment just to stay current. TAAS works differently. One predictable monthly payment, and your technology, your support, and your upgrades are all covered for as long as you subscribe.

The traditional way

Pay everything upfront (CAPEX)

You receive a proposal for the full project, pay the total, and the work gets done. A great option for clients who prefer to own their equipment outright. One capital expenditure, and it's yours.

The TAAS way

Subscribe monthly, stay current forever (OPEX)

Same custom design. Same Livewire installation. But instead of one large purchase, you pay a fixed monthly subscription. Monitoring, support, and proactive equipment upgrades are all included. Your system never goes stale and you're never on your own.

Why it works for businesses

Turn a capital project into an operating expense

A $75,000 system is a hard budget conversation. $1,500 a month is often already in the budget. TAAS converts a large CAPEX event into a predictable OPEX line item, which can simplify approvals and make technology easier to plan for year over year.

The bottom line

One team, one bill, everything covered

Whether you pay upfront or subscribe monthly, you get the same custom-designed system and the same Livewire team behind it. TAAS just means that relationship, and your technology, never stops. No sticker shock. No surprise bills. No gaps in support.

What's Included

Everything in one monthly payment.

TAAS is not financing. It is a complete, ongoing service relationship with Livewire. Your equipment, your support, and your future upgrades are all part of the same subscription.

Common Questions

Things people ask before getting started.

The Livewire Lifecycle Program is our proprietary approach to proactive equipment management. When we install your system, we document the expected useful life of every component. Before anything ages out, becomes unsupported, or reaches end of life, we're already planning your upgrade. You get a replacement schedule you can see coming, not a surprise bill when something fails. For TAAS subscribers, all Lifecycle Program upgrades are included in your monthly subscription.
Your monthly payment is based on the total project cost spread over your subscription period, typically anchored to a 60-month baseline. The calculator on this page gives you a planning estimate. Your exact payment is confirmed during your free consultation once we've reviewed your specific project scope.
CAPEX (capital expenditure) means paying the full project cost upfront. You own the equipment outright. OPEX (operating expenditure) means paying a fixed monthly subscription instead. Many businesses prefer OPEX because it's easier to budget, doesn't require board approval for a large purchase, and keeps technology from becoming a depreciating asset on the books.
Absolutely. We present both options on every proposal. Some clients prefer the upfront model; others prefer the subscription. There's no pressure either way. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs so you can decide what makes sense for your situation.
TAAS is designed to run as long as you're a Livewire client. It's not a fixed contract that ends — it's a continuous relationship. The Livewire Lifecycle Program keeps your system current on an ongoing basis, and your monthly subscription covers it all the way through.
INVISION monitoring means we're often aware of issues before you are. For anything requiring hands-on attention, TAAS subscribers get priority scheduling with Livewire's local team. You'll reach someone who already knows your system — not a national call center.
A TAAS subscription is typically treated as an operating expense rather than a capital purchase, which can simplify budget approvals for many businesses. Every organization handles accounting differently, so we recommend checking with your finance team. We're happy to provide whatever documentation they need.
