Juniper Networks and BNP Paribas offer 0% kit financing
Juniper says partners are already using the service to secure deals
BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions has signed an agreement to provide a finance programme for products from Juniper Networks. The programme is available for Juniper customers in France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain and the UK.
Under the programme, customers can take advantage of 0 percent financing until 31st December 2016 on qualifying purchases, allowing them to invest in the latest networking technology from Juniper Networks.
Longer term, the programme will provide qualified customers with other flexible financing options to help meet the requirements of Juniper’s diverse customer base.
Martin Ardern, head of the ICT finance division at BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, said: “Continued economic uncertainty means that some businesses are reluctant to make the investment in the latest network technology a top priority. Outdated equipment will, however, hold back a business and act as a real barrier to efficiency.
“Our 0 percent financing promotion will make investment in Juniper Networks products more manageable.”
Martin Hester, head of channels and partners, EMEA, at Juniper Networks, said: “This is exciting news for our partners as competitive financing can unlock new sales opportunities in a very competitive marketplace.
“A great example is a partner in the UK, Elite partner Axians, who recently used this offer in a very competitive environment to close a large strategic deal.”
Earlier this year, Juniper Networks announced several updates to its Juniper Partner Advantage programme, including new certifications, marketing tools and courses for partners.
