# Is Stratix Corporation worth it for large enterprise MMS deployments that need strong implementation support, or does managing mobility in-house deliver the same results at lower ongoing cost?

The spare pool model — replacement devices shipped in as little as 24 hours — provides a service level that in-house teams with procurement lead times cannot match. It is advisable to know the details of your business needs and address them during contract negotiations specifically to avoid unplanned fees. The cost of Stratix scales with scope, and enterprise teams who do not contractually define service boundaries carefully may encounter charges for activities they assumed were included; total cost of ownership modelling should include the contract negotiation phase.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For large enterprise IT leaders who have made the build-versus-buy decision on mobility management, which specific capabilities tipped the decision toward managed service?

Build-versus-buy on mobility is really a volatility question, not a headcount or cost one. The managed premium mostly buys elasticity, surge capacity for spiky demand (rapid hiring, seasonal frontline peaks, sudden site openings) that in-house procurement lead times can&#39;t match. If your fleet is large but stable and forecastable, in-house can hit the same service level because you can pre-stock, and much of the &quot;unplanned fees&quot; risk in these contracts is the variability premium, elasticity you&#39;re paying for but a steady fleet won&#39;t use.
