WikitipLeasing basicsThere is a difference, not insubstantial, between making a technology decision on the acquisition of new hardware or software, and the manner in which the Company wants to pay for it. Many companies are constrained to operating leases due to bank covenants, and others simply have an internal lease/buy analytical tool that guides decisions. From a Buyer's perspective, it is important to understand what various methods of acquisition are available from both supplier/vendor of the asset, as well as from the leasing community at large. To do this will require open conversations with Treasury/Finance groups within your company. They will want to ask important questions around the acquisition of debt. Have that understanding earlier rather than later in your search for technological products, as it should help you and your company in coming up with creative ways to have that which your budget is telling you you can't have. |
Featured Case Study
Financial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |
