Smee: The market needs initiatives such as this in a downturn

Specialist distributor Cohort Technology has unveiled a set of financial products to help its resellers and their customers through the difficult times.

Offered to resellers in conjunction with ShoreTel Financial Services, the services comprise flexible payment options for businesses such as interest-free payments over two or three years, payment holidays, and the option to wrap follow-on services into a single finance package.

Grahame Smee, managing director of Cohort Technology, said: “This is our first step into the finance side of things and it is designed to give the end user flexibility when it comes to IT spend.

“The market needs initiatives such as this in the midst of a downturn, particularly as people’s resources are being squeezed and they are looking at budgets very carefully.”

Cohort's finance products are available immediately.

Finance Deals

I think that Cohort are certainly taking the right approach with this type of finance deal. At Fortress Managed Services we are also looking at finance and 'cyber insurance' for our channel partners.
