IBM Financing Advantage: Affordable, Simple, Accessible, Complete

Access to funding is a major impediment to realizing a solution’s post-implementation benefits.  

Costs are heaviest at the front end of a project, while benefits do not fully accrue until a project is well underway.

This makes financial justification difficult.With IBM Financing Advantage, you can overcome this

challenge.

Financing allows costs and benefits to track more closely. IBM Financing Advantage can help to reduce up-front costs

and structure your monthly payments to anticipated benefits.  

This can help ease the decision to invest in solutions that have longer payback periods.

Clients are feeling pressure to do more with less and get more value from their infrastructure investments. A smarter funding strategy can help you meet budget and cash flow objectives in a capital-constrained environment.

IBM Financing Advantage, from IBM Global Financing, offers credit qualified mid-sized companies access to affordable leases and loans for a complete IT solution for both IBM and non-IBM hardware, software and services.

Financing helps clients meet budget and cash flow objectives in a capital-constrained environment by:

Providing predictable monthly paymentsPreserving cash flow for higher-yield investments Allowing more acquisitions within current budget Accelerating implementation of new technology Matching payments to business needs

IBM Global Asset Recovery Services Facts

In 2009: GARS remanufacturing operations processed

over 1 million machines with a weight of over 27.8 million pounds.

This equated to over 19.4 thousand machines (or 536,180 pounds) per week.

90.33% of the returned machines were from end of lease, and 9.77% were ARS-related.

90.2% of the units processed were readied for resale and reuse, while the other 9.8% were sent for scrapping.

From 2003 through year end 2009: GARS remanufacturing operations have

processed over 7.4 million returned machines (units), an average of 20,488 machines per week.

The weight of returned machines is now over 109.5 thousand metric tons (or over 241 million pounds).

Since 2004, GARS remanufacturing centers have processed over 1.5 million laptops. If these laptops were stacked on top of each other, the pile would extend over 31 miles into the atmosphere (a trans-oceanic jetliner flies approximately 7 miles high by comparison).

Hardware Financing

Increases buying power; reduces up-front costs into predictable monthly payments.

Lowers acquisition costs over purchase, eliminates obsolescence risk and drives lower total cost of ownership.

Helps establish a flexible technology refresh cycle, ensuring that capacity needs are met while controlling costs.

At mid-lease, the refinancing of the remaining obligation over a new term can lower the payment and create budget room for a new payment for the upgrade.

For clients starting or enhancing their green strategy, leasing ensures that they can obtain the latest IBM advances in power, cooling and space at an affordable cost.

IBM assumes responsibility for environmentally compliant asset disposal at end of lease.

Optimize Total Cost of Ownership with an IT technology lifecycle strategy

You want to find the optimal solution for a certain IT infrastructure or IT project requirement, given your available budget and timing

You want to help ensure that your budget can quickly address ongoing infrastructure requirements – latest technology for productivity; capacity for business growth or seasonal demands

You want to trust the vendor you choose for asset disposal to follow DoD

compliant security processes, local environmental laws and regulations and to provide a

process that is as hassle-free as possible

You want to ensure that you can dispose of old/obsolete

equipment – or migrate to new – in a safe, easy or,

if needed, non-disruptive manner

A technology lifecycle strategy may include energy-efficiency aspects, business transformation events, IT optimization or consolidation projects…

Leasing helps clients…

…lay out less cash compared to a purchase

Simplifies asset management with better tracking and a more homogeneous portfolio

Laying out less cash means funds (or credit lines) are available for other strategic initiatives
