Nowadays, the success of any business depends a lot on a sound IT platform that is supported by the latest technology and systems. Consequently, such IT platforms would need constant reviewing and updates so as to ensure that they meet the changing requirements of the business without stalling its progress.
“Fortunately, more businesses are recognising the positive impacts that they stand to benefit from when they invest in the proper IT platforms and are reaping the rewards from having given priority to this important aspect in their business,” says Christopher Demicoli, Smart Technologies business development manager.
Over the years, Smart Technologies has specialised in the leasing of IT to organisations, companies and small businesses. Since it started operating in 2008, the company has established itself as a leader in IT leasing and today is equipped with the knowledge and expertise to build a leasing programme specifically for any company’s particular needs while offering management and support for its entire corporate IT infrastructure.
“Basically we started off with leasing PCs and desktops, but nowadays the trend is more inclined towards leasing backend infrastructure equipment such as servers, switches, WiFi and any hardware that is related to the core operation of the business. We believe that today, every market is pushing customers to be on the forefront. Being leading competitors through technology and innovation secures more business while enjoying the financial benefits of affordable leasing of complete solutions with a pay as you go approach,” Mr Demicoli says.
“The key advantage of leasing lies in the flexible approach that enables customers to reduce the risk of technological obsolescence, conserve capital, acquire more equipment, and transfer the risks of ownership. Our experience, coupled with sound resources, allows us to provide a wide variety of IT leasing solutions to clients that range from small and mid-sized companies to large enterprises. We provide both capital and business automation solutions to reduce costs and increase the efficiency of your equipment acquisition and lifecycle management processes.”
Elaborating on the benefits, Mr Demicoli explains how leasing may be the least expensive way to get equipment and the method that gives most return. “When choosing a lease, you not only enjoy the use of freed-up capital but at the same time, you are getting a one-stop shop service directly from a supplier who is an expert both in leasing and in the leased product. Through leasing, your choice of equipment is in line with the price and the specifications you outline. Practically any other financing demands a substantial down payment, deposit or compensating bank balance. On the other hand, through leasing you can quickly acquire use of the equipment you want without major cash outlay.”
Leasing makes the purchase of equipment or acquisition of fixed assets possible even in situations when budgets may somehow be restricted. In leasing, there’s no guesswork when it comes to the budgeting.
“Costs are accurately projected beforehand so you know the financial commitment from the very start. Therefore, clients will never have to deal with depreciating figures or varying interest costs,” Mr Demicoli says.
