Emmanuel Mouquet, EMEA channel sales director at Dell, said: “In the current economic climate, businesses are looking for alternative financing options for IT investment. By extending these financing options to customers, we are giving them the ability to avoid large capital outlays, but to remain current and competitive from an IT standpoint.
“For our channel partners this offers a great opportunity to overcome some of the financial barriers to entry that they have started to encounter out in the field. They will be able to take a very attractive proposition to their customers and hopefully stimulate business during these challenging times.”
