Juniper Networks is partnering with BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions to provide financing to customers in a number of European countries, inclusion the UK.
Under the programme, customers can take advantage of 0% financing until December 31 2016 on qualifying purchases. Longer term, the firm says it will provide qualified customers with other flexible financing options.
“Continued economic uncertainty means that some businesses are reluctant to make the investment in the latest network technology a top priority,” comments Martin Ardern, head of ICT Finance Division at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions. “Outdated equipment will, however, hold back a business and act as a real barrier to efficiency. Our 0% financing promotion will make investment in Juniper Networks products more manageable.”
“This is exciting news for our partners as competitive financing can unlock new sales opportunities in a very competitive marketplace,” adds Martin Hester, head of channels & partners, EMEA at Juniper Networks, who adds that UK Elite partner Axians “recently used this offer in a very competitive environment to close a large, strategic deal.”
BNP Paribas last year released some research that said that investment in IT hardware and software was up almost a quarter since the height of the recession in 2009, with the growth mainly driven by investment in software.
