How the Tecra M and Tecra S
minimise the Total Cost of Ownership.
Whether your business is large or small, the initial cost of a fleet Notebook is only a fraction of its total lifetime cost - around 15%. The Tecra M and Tecra S are designed to help reduce the other 85%.
They achieve this in two ways:
Toshiba’s Tecra M and Tecra S series have been developed specifically for businesses deploying fleets of all sizes, from those with dozens of Notebooks to those with thousands.
We’ve focused on building in features that minimise the Total Cost of Ownership and maximise your return on investment. This involves a strong focus on scalability, stability, security, durability and reliability.
We encourage our customers to tell us
how to build Notebooks.
We work closely with some of our key large customers (via initiatives like our Customer Alliance Program, or CAP) to develop and refine features that are adapted specifically to the needs of larger enterprises. Many of the features in the Tecra M and S series have been developed after input and feedback from our CAP partners. Australia is one of only five markets in the world where Toshiba has such a program. It means that the Notebooks that reach this market are designed for this market.

Reducing the cost
of fleet management.
This is achieved by:
Developing scalable systems.
The Tecra M and S are designed so that the systems and processes developed to manage a small number of Notebooks can then be implemented across large numbers, or expanded as a fleet grows. This minimises the cost of deployment and management.
Having a stable platform and a common
software image.
Toshiba’s Tecra M and S series are designed to remain stable for at least 12 months. This reduces the cost of evaluation, deployment and training as new models have consistent software images and long lifecycles.
SOE consistency creates a simple network environment, saving users and administrators time and trouble.
Developing common docking solutions that
are backwards compatible.
The Advanced Port Replicator III Plus provides a common dock for all Tecra Notebooks. This streamlines IT infrastructure.
Common Slim SelectBay solutions ensure cross- platform compatibility for greater flexibility and easy expandability.
Both the Advanced Port Replicator III Plus and
Maximising
business benefits.
This is achieved by:
Enhancing security
Toshiba’s extra security features reduce the risk of data loss or theft and the cost and inconvenience of replacement.
Reducing downtime
Toshiba’s Notebooks have the lowest failure rates in the industry, which translates into fewer problems and less time lost.
Ruggedised features reduce the risk of everyday accidents and incidents causing damage and leading to unproductive downtime.
Increasing productivity
The advanced docking system enables users to step back into the office and immediately reconnect with resources. No time wasted.
Integrated WiFi, Bluetooth® and Toshiba’s ConfigFree™ utility make it easy for users to create, diagnose and troubleshoot network connections. Less time wasted equals more time connected and productive.
The Tecra series always includes the latest processors and other advanced technology to maximise performance and productivity.
Tecra Notebooks come loaded with Microsoft® Office OneNote 2003. This enables individuals and teams to manage, prioritise, manipulate and share information more productively.
Toshiba’s Summit utility makes it easy to share documents and compare notes. This encourages collaboration and streamlines processes.
