GreatAmerica Financial Services just announced the release of Life-Cycle Financing in conjunction with Cisco.
GreatAmerica Financial Services, the commercial equipment finance company, on Wednesday announced a new MSP-focused program in conjunction with Cisco. The program, called Life-Cycle Financing, is a new financing solution designed to help MSPs add service-related options to their hardware sales.
The idea is to bring simplicity with as-a-service to complex technology solutions; basically, Life-Cycle Financing bundles a complete solution that would have otherwise spread a transaction thin over multiple agreements and invoices.
“MSPs gain access to a finance option for certain hardware sales that makes it easier for their clients to just pay for the whole kit and caboodle monthly,” said Jason Ingalls, founder and CEO of Ingalls Information Security. “This option smooths out what could otherwise be a very bumpy initial cost for technology refreshment, net-new and add-on infrastructure.”
This GreatAmerica and Cisco mashup, which has been in the works for several months, has created a streamlined approach to consolidating most of clients’ IT expenses. This is designed to help MSP partners be more efficient, and therefore more competitive. read the rest here
