Syscap launches Option One partner programme

Syscap, the IT finance provider, has launched its new partner programme, Option One, which formalises Syscap's relationships with IT suppliers, giving them a structured way of embedding market-leading finance into their products and solutions.

Option One has been developed to help IT vendors and resellers satisfy their customers' growing need for rapid return on investment (ROI) on IT purchases, through payment over time solutions. It is also designed to help partners enter new and lucrative markets, for example by accommodating full managed services programmes and supporting a variety of licence programmes through Syscap's existing software as a service product, Subscription Plus.

Philip White, Syscap CEO, says: “The launch of Option One couldn't have come at a better time. Many companies are worried about getting credit in light of the current credit crunch, and are therefore putting off essential IT upgrades. Option One will help suppliers capitalise on this situation by empowering them to offer customers an alternative source of credit in the form of finance - and as an integral part of their solutions, rather than a bolt-on. And, of course, the popularity of leased IT is growing rapidly in the UK.”
