Comztek and Fujitsu introduce Fujitsu Financial Services to the SA channel

Monday, 14 June 2010 – Comztek and Fujitsu Technology Solutions announce the launch of Fujitsu Financial Services in the South African market. Available exclusively from Comztek, Fujitsu Financial Services allows organisations to meet their IT requirements without the massive capital investment that usually accompanies IT upgrades.

A comprehensive solution, Fujitsu Financial Services has a package to meet every organisation’s IT financing needs, including a “buy now, pay later” option, allowing organisations deferred payments for up to 12 months, and payment holidays, further enabling organisations to better plan their budget and optimise their IT expenditure. Other services offered in the Fujitsu Financial Services portfolio are:

• IT buyback and trade-ins – on used equipment to help improve liquidity for the acquisition or financing of new, high-performance systems.
• Sale and leaseback – allowing organisations to benefit from the use of technology without the chains of ownership by selling their existing equipment at pre-agreed prices and subsequently leasing it back, thereby managing their costs better while enjoying all the benefits of leasing.
• Tech refresh – an optional element of all Fujitsu financing solutions that allows organisations to regularly upgrade or refresh their IT infrastructure with the latest equipment, while remaining within budget.

Says Gerben Bezuidenhout, business development manager at Fujitsu Financial Services: "There are many reasons to choose IT financing from Fujitsu Financial Services over cash purchase and ownership, especially in difficult economic times. Leasing and financing from Fujitsu Financial Services can accelerate the acquisition of mission-critical IT infrastructure in times when flexibility, transparency, and affordability are paramount business requirements."

"This can be a welcome relief for South African resellers in the face of diminishing credit facilities from distributors in the IT sector. Through our partnership with Fujitsu, Comztek’s resellers now have access to vendor supported IT financing services to enable them to stay ahead of the curve in the rapidly changing IT sector,” says Andries Coetzee, Financial Director at Comztek. “Even though the service is supported by Fujitsu, resellers are not limited to purchasing Fujitsu equipment. All brands carried by Comztek can be financed through Fujitsu Financial Services."

To become part of the Comztek reseller network and be eligible for Fujitsu Financial Services, resellers need to register on the Comztek website at www.comztek.com or contact the call centre on 0800 600 557.

Further information about Fujitsu Financial Services is available on the Fujitsu website.
