30 January 2008 Syscap’s new, healthy option for IT suppliers Syscap (http//:www.syscap.com), the UK’s leading independent IT finance provider, announces the launch of its innovative new partner programme, Option One (http//:www.syscap.com/optionone). This programme 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. Components of the programme include…
The benefits for partners include the ability to increase sales and margins through a more compelling proposition, as well as reduce cashflow problems and shorten sales cycles. This programme also gives partners an opportunity to take advantage of the growing demand for leased IT in the UK today, and to move swiftly into developing technology markets. Benefits for end-customers include an easier route to getting the IT they need, instant ROI, improved cashflow, an alternative source of credit, tax savings, simple upgrades and the ability to finance software and intangibles as well as hardware. 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. We’re giving suppliers the chance to respond to this demand in the most competitive way, by partnering with the independent market leader.”
About Option One Through Option One, Syscap helps its partners embed finance within their product and service offerings. The programme provides a coherent structure for communication, commerce and shared resources – including a powerful online finance portal – ultimately enabling partners to create enhanced go-to-market strategies.
