Build the business case
Financing any IT investment is always a balancing act. We can help you explore ways to fund your initiative that minimise upfront costs and deliver the benefits you want. We’ll also help you build in the flexibility to scale or update outside of planned refresh cycles. Because who knows what the future holds?
When assessing financing options, organisations say the most important factor is:
Reducing total cost of ownership (32%)
Flexibility to manage budgets (16%)
Accelerated technology adoption (15%)

You could purchase your collaboration solution outright and pay in cash. However, technology investment is likely to be one of many strategic investment priorities competing for your budget.
Alternatively, you could take a bank loan or similar financing options, but you will pay a higher interest rate which will inflate the cost. Plus, you won’t have the option to upgrade or refresh the technology when needed as part of the lifecycle of the solution.
The Cisco Collaboration Flex Plan lets you deliver collaboration services cost-effectively with one simple, subscription-based offer.
Whether using or deploying on-premises infrastructure, cloud-based services, or looking to simplify your transition to the cloud, it can provide investment protection by including cloud, on-premises, hosted and hybrid deployments – with the flexibility to use them all.
Cisco Capital makes it easy to pay for your Collaboration Flex Plan. We can help you find the best flexible payment option for your collaboration solution, including Cisco hardware and software, services, subscription and even third-party components.
Whether you are at the beginning of your journey or looking to extend and improve existing investments, we can provide you with flexible payment options to suit your organisation’s needs.
No need to worry about upfront costs, either. You can pay monthly for your complete collaboration solution at as low as 0% interest. Bringing everything into one easy-to-manage contract, allowing you to add more solutions to the agreement as your business grows.
You can also benefit from an ongoing flexibility to return, purchase or upgrade your solutions as your business requires. To find out just how affordable collaboration financing could be, contact us.
