SOLUTIONS INVOLVING EVOLUTIONARY HIRE OF COMPUTER EQUIPMENT
Every cloud has a silver lining and at SYSELCOM we consider the economy's currently depressed state as creating an opportunity to develop new services.
During periods of growth, attention falls more on increasing profits and developing business but when the climate is less favourable, company management must rationalise costs and adopt a critical attitude to expenses and the return on investments. In any case, only a healthy cash flow can ensure day-to-day operation.
One of the areas in which investment is particularly heavy is the IT sector, both in terms of purchase and operating costs. For many companies, it is essential to monitor technological developments very closely and continually introduce innovations into their IT infrastructures. Equipment cost redemption periods therefore are becoming increasingly short and indeed unrealistically short.
Moreover, refusal to renew equipment on time or standardise it causes an increase in management costs and loss of competitiveness. This causes IT to assume an increasingly important part in budgeting, making financial management even more complicated. Early replacement of equipment not yet fully paid off is often synonymous with unplanned losses. Evolutionary hire of equipment provides a more effective answer to such problems.
In terms of computer systems, it is not the ownership of the equipment that is important but its availability. Evolutionary hire, instead of purchasing, provides the desired financial and operational flexibility. This said, there is no universal solution and each company has different needs. This is why it is important to work with a flexible partner capable of creative involvement by offering you new perspectives and many advantages both in financial and management terms.
Capital available for financing basic activities
IT equipment quickly becomes out of date and generally is not considered as resalable assets because only the operating infrastructure has a negotiable value. Evolutionary hire does not mortgage a company's financial capabilities and enables it to concentrate on optimising the operating aspects useful to maintain its competitiveness. On the other hand, the expenses relating to evolutionary hire are posted to the operating costs and do not have a direct effect on the credit facilities negotiable with other sources of finance.
Financing outside the balance sheet
Showing equipment acquired on the balance sheet is no longer necessary. The obligation is shown on the Profit and Loss account and is not mentioned in the comments. A certain number of ratios therefore do not have a negative effect.
Fixed costs, reduced because of residual value
Evolutionary hire enables the idea of the equipment's residual value to be taken into account. You no longer need, therefore, to pay the full amount of the investment and, depending on the model you choose, this can result in significant savings compared to any other form of financing.
Elimination of the costs of disposing of obsolete equipment
The disposal of old equipment is generally not a cost factor taken into account except when the situation arises. Evolutionary hire settles this problem once and for all.
Reduction in the equipment's total cost of ownership (TCO)
Evolutionary hire enables you to reduce your total cost of ownership. In fact, it turns out that a heavily standardised, modern infrastructure reduces very significantly the costs of owning and operating IT equipment. Furthermore, having an accurate view of the stock available is also a favourable factor and is one of evolutionary hire's particularly advantageous operating characteristics.
Budget simplification
The total amount of the investment is uniformly divided up over a set period. This eliminates the variations caused by planned or unplanned equipment renewals. It also provides the necessary financial flexibility for maintaining or developing the company's activities while keeping pace with technological advances.
Elimination of the risks relating to equipment obsolescence
This risk is now assumed by the leasing company and is particularly important for configurations of workstations subject to accelerated aging because of all the technological advances. Reconditioning and sale on the second-hand equipment market must comprise the basic activities of an effective leasing partner so that you can benefit from the best possible resale values.
The assurance of being at the cutting edge of technology
Replacing equipment regularly enables you not only to maintain your infrastructure's level of competitiveness but also to benefit from the latest technological advances, which can perhaps make a difference in your market. Your applications and users can take advantage of this to increase your overall productivity level.
A perfect and natural match for our IT services assistance and resources-pooling concept
