Keeping the cash flowing: Pegasus is hoping the finance deal will encourage firms to keep spending

Financial and business software vendor Pegasus is urging resellers to take advantage of its zero per cent finance scheme before it runs out at the end of the month.

Originally launched two months ago, the zero per cent finance scheme is intended to help channel partners encourage customers to part with their cash to upgrade their business software systems.

Kevin McCallum, commercial director at Pegasus, said: “There is a lack of confidence in the market at the moment which affects the way people spend money. This scheme is intended to make it easier for firms to choose the right software for their business and help remove some of the obstacles in the way to making a purchase decision.”

McCallum said that the finance scheme not only covers software, but resellers can extend it to cover the hardware and even training costs of implementing a Pegasus system.

He added that it was also a good way of encouraging firms to upgrade to Pegasus’ Opera II product, after it recently announced the end-of-life of its original Opera software.

“In the current climate, anything that helps to boost confidence is a help, and it also ensures our partners have access to released funds and can keep the cash flowing,” he said.

“We are getting good feedback from it and we have a lot of resellers in the system that are awaiting approval or are in the final stages of the underwriting process.”

McCallum added that the vendor would not rule out extending the offer further, and was set to discuss the possibility.
