What’s this Software Leasing?
100%
Financing For Every IT Project
As we entered the
technology revolution, computer hardware became a costly and expensive
investment for every business to undertake. To facilitate the
acquisition of this type of investment, equipment leasing played an
important role in providing an efficient and easy financing source.
Because of the numerous benefits that leasing offers, leasing hardware
quickly became as commonplace as leasing office copiers and office
furniture.
Soon, computers were leased with software pre-loaded into
the hardware. This was the beginning and advent of software leasing.
This continued to evolve to where today it is recognized that hardware
is a commodity while software provides the bulk of the actual value to
the customer.
Today, the leasing of software projects continues to
advance in popularity and capability. Now it’s even possible to package
every cost associated with the software project into the structure of
the lease. This means all of the peripheral “soft costs” can also be
financed; costs for customization, training, installation,
implementation, conversion and maintenance. This also means 100%
financing.
Our daily headlines are filled with various
interpretations of where our new economy is headed. This makes business
decision-making very difficult indeed.
But optimism for a
bright future continues as businesses recognize the need to leverage
technology with software solution. A logical progression
of this idea is leveraging capital with a software lease. Both solutions
directly challenge the economic uncertainty that every business owner
must face today.
A few of the many benefits of leasing are particularly
relevant to those contemplating a new software implementation and
lease….
First, software leasing allows for every business to
preserve valuable capital, which may then be retained and utilized
elsewhere to increase profitability.
Second, it allows for preservation of bank lines of
credit, which can be kept unencumbered and available for short-term
borrowing and unexpected cash flow changes during business cycles.
Third, a software lease offers complete convenience and
flexibility; terms can be structured beyond normal bank loan terms,
fixed payments make it a predictable budget tool, conditions can be
creative so that the structure meets all the needs of the business, and
the entire process is very quick and easy.
Last of all, a much needed software project can move
ahead today instead of facing delays from the long arduous budget battle
process. Actually, a software lease can circumvent the entire capital
expenditure process – with monthly payments from a departmental
operating budget and approval from the operational management level.
Maybe today is the very best time to keep a much needed
software project moving forward and full speed ahead! Call your Ortivus
