In this difficult economy, capital budgets are tighter than ever. We are proud to offer our customers the Equipment For Service Program. This program takes a portion of a business’ overall telecommunications profitability and applies it to a third party lease for needed hardware and software, such as a new PBX, router, copier, software applications or even office furniture. Since the program’s inception ten years ago, it has financed more than $80 million in equipment with the typical subsidy from $16,000 up to $500,000 or more.
The success of the program is rooted in proprietary software that determines profit margin of an overall telecom solution. A portion of the profit margin is reserved to meet corporate profitability guidelines and the remainder may be used for an equipment lease subsidy. Often, the overall solution, including the equipment subsidy, delivers newer, more robust solutions with industry-leading service for a lower cost.
For example, our provider recently designed a total communications solution for a New England business, including connecting their eight sites with a secure MPLS VPN, each with local voice via PRI ISDN lines. Utilizing this program, a portion of the network subsidized over $500,000 in new equipment, including an 850-seat PBX and multiple routers.
