Technology Without the Upfront Cost – Financing Now Available Through Sigma IT
Investing in new technology can represent a significant upfront cost for any business.
Whether it's replacing a fleet of computers, upgrading servers and networking, or investing in a larger technology project, sometimes the right solution is clear — but paying for everything upfront isn't necessarily the best use of available cash.
Sigma IT can now offer eligible customers access to HPE Financial Services, providing another way to fund larger technology investments.
For qualifying transactions over $10,000 ex GST, businesses can spread the cost of their technology investment over 12, 24 or 36 months, subject to credit approval and the applicable finance terms.
Why Finance Technology?
Technology is essential to running a modern business, but it also competes with plenty of other priorities for available capital.
Rather than making a significant upfront payment, financing can allow a business to:
Preserve cash for other operational or growth requirements
Spread the cost of technology over predictable regular payments
Bring forward technology upgrades rather than delaying them because of budget constraints
Replace multiple devices or systems as part of a planned upgrade rather than piecemeal
Better align the cost of technology with the period in which the business is actually using it
Budget more easily for larger IT projects
HPE Financial Services is specifically designed around technology investment, with financing options that can incorporate hardware, software and services into a structured payment arrangement.
More Than Just Computers
Financing can be particularly useful when a project involves more than purchasing a single piece of equipment.
For example, a business technology refresh might include:
Business laptops and workstations
Servers and storage
Networking and Wi-Fi infrastructure
Firewalls and security equipment
Monitors, docks and other peripherals
Software and associated services
Installation, configuration and deployment
Rather than compromising the solution to meet an immediate capital budget, financing may allow the business to implement the technology it actually needs.
A Practical Example
A business replacing several computers may find that the complete project quickly reaches $10,000 or more once the right business-grade hardware, accessories, configuration and deployment are included.
Instead of paying the entire amount upfront, an approved finance arrangement could spread that investment across 12, 24 or 36 months.
The business gets the technology it needs now while retaining more of its available cash for other priorities.
Now Available Through Sigma IT
Sigma IT has recently received accreditation to offer HPE Financial Services, adding another option for our customers when planning larger technology purchases.
Our role remains the same: understand what your business needs first and recommend the right technology.
The difference is that we can now also discuss whether financing that technology makes sense for your business, rather than the purchase automatically requiring a large upfront payment.
HPE Financial Services offers a range of technology financing and lifecycle solutions designed to help organisations acquire and manage IT investment over time.
