FSI and CCL: partners in IT finance
Press release 11.02.2002

CCL plc, the UK-based IT finance specialists have just announced a partnership with FSI, which will see CCL providing finance for all of FSI's software solutions and services.

Since its formation in October 1990, Facilities Software International has become a market leader in computer-aided facilities management (CAFM), that prides itself on offering a client-oriented service. The company works with many of the UK's leading companies, offering a range of scaleable solutions for the management of buildings and facilities.

Like many highly specialised software solutions, clients make a long-term commitment to FSI. The ability to offer clients a broad range of flexible finance solutions is a natural next step for FSI, and a way to add value to their service by making their solutions easy to buy. It also allows clients to align their investment with the returns that they will receive, providing a better business case for new solutions and upgrades.

With CCL on board, FSI are now able to offer clients CCL's unique Rental Exchange® finance product. This allows customer companies to pay for their IT solution via a series of fixed term, fixed amount monthly payments. Customers are able to accrue equity within the finance agreement that allows for further reinvestment in product upgrades, training, or new users licenses.

For the client, Rental Exchange® effectively provides an outsourced IT budget, giving them the ability to achieve even greater business benefits without having to find the cash funding each time.

For solutions providers like FSI, Rental Exchange® provides a way to maximise client value, ensuring that existing business continues to generate revenue, after the first sale.
