Avaya Reaches Out to Mid-Market with 0% Financing

Avaya has announced the availability of a 0% finance offer, a special promotion designed specifically for European mid-market businesses that allows companies to easily lease equipment and pay for services over a three-year period with absolutely no interest or starting fees. The offer includes all maintenance and upgrades, and is available through Avaya business partners and Avaya direct sales.

"Mid-market companies face significant challenges when investing in technology, because often companies in a growth phase need to focus all of their resources on growing the business, not on technology investments," explained Mark Mitchell, vice president, channels, Avaya EMEA. "This offer is ideal for companies which have reached a critical size and want to manage technology to gain competitive advantage and reach greater levels of efficiency and productivity."

Avaya's latest offer highlights its commitment to providing products and services to meet the needs of the mid-market and is targeted at customers who want to leverage Avaya's S8300 Communication Manager (CM) Release 5.0 and/or MultiVantage Express (MVE) Release 2.0 and Customer Interaction Express (CIE). These Avaya Intelligent Communications products are ideal for businesses with a staff size of 100-500 and up to ten locations.

Paul Fazakerley, European programme director for Avaya Financial Services commented, "Following on from the success of 0% finance for Avaya's IP Office solution, we are delighted to support Avaya in this highly significant initiative. Our ability to work closely together in structuring this product and rolling it out across multiple geographies will, I believe, offer real added value to Avaya's customers."

Flexible financing is designed to give companies access to technology that can help them effectively grow their business without the headaches involved in up-front investment. To that end, payments are spread over a three year period with 0% interest. At the end of the three year term, the customer can continue to lease the equipment, buy it, or return it. The 0% finance offered by AFS is available in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
