%0 Leasing Finance on Dell Hardware Now Available

Following our recent blog on the use of finance for the purchase of hardware where we told you about one of customers who wanted to invest in new IT hardware.

We have now found that Dell our main hardware supplier infact offers its own 0% leased finance deals providing SMBs with a great way to finance new hardware.

The benefits of leasing are numerous both on a financial and technological level.
 

·         Protection against obsolesce

·         Freeing up capital for other uses, rather than tying it up in depreciating equipment

·         Leasing enforces a discipline and encourages a regular upgrade and replacement cycle

·         Easier equipment disposal, this taken care of by DFS

·         Better ROI and balance of project costs with benefits

·         With UK banks still hamstrung in their ability to lend DFS is a separate stand alone credit line, why risk the companiesexisting bank relationship and credit line?

·         Significant tax advantages over a cash purchase.

Do you need greater flexibility from your phone system or are you looking at reducing costs?

Have you considered VOIP?  CNLtd recommends a windows based VOIP system which would increase productivity of employees and IT staff and cost your business much less.  Evolve your communication by enabling employees’ mobility:  Calls can be made and answered seamlessly from outside of the office and voice mail and faxes received via email.  It is also possible to link branch offices and re-direct local customer service number via the internet to your phone system at negligible cost.

This Phone System for Windows is an award-winning IP PBX that completely replaces your proprietary PBX, supports standard SIP soft/hard phones from any vendor, VoIP service providers and VoIP gateways to connect traditional PSTN lines. Add extensions or lines by adding standard SIP telephony equipment and save on consultants’ fees because of the systems easy to use web-based administration.

In simple terms this system can assist you in overcoming the limitations of outmoded hardware-based PBX systems, reduce costs significantly and add advanced communications features that will make your company more efficient and competitive!

This system is the only IP PBX to include a free Windows VoIP phone that can be used in or out of the office. A soft phone and the traditional hardware phone can be used at the same time using the same credentials. For example, the hardware phone can be used when at the office, but when at home or on the road it is very easy to switch to the soft phone and remain connected to the company’s phone system.

Because the System is just another Windows server application, it is easy to manage too: It can be monitored just like any other Windows server application using your existing network monitoring package.

The system can use the existing computer wiring, sharing the network point with the computer, and can be installed on an existing, non-dedicated Windows server or run as a virtual machine.

Overcome the limitations of outmoded hardware-based PBX systems, reduce costs significantly and add advanced communications features that will make your employees more productive and your company more efficient and competitive.

Introduction to CNLTD

Have you ever stopped to consider how much your business relies on IT? Does your IT system hold the key to the productivity and profitability of your business in terms of them holding valuable information on your clients and your stock.
Have you ever stopped to consider how much your business would suffer, how much money you would lose if your business lost its IT systems for an Hour, a day or a week?

Disaster recovery sounds drastic but it really isn’t. Not monitoring your systems could lead to your business losing thousands of pounds. These costs would mount up quickly to include employee productivity, system restoration, cost of lost sales and lastly and most importantly lost customer and damaged reputation costs.

At this meeting we will look at the following types of issues:-
• Does your business have enough protection against Internet threats? The most likely threats are malware: botnets, spyware, worms, computer viruses, rootkits, and Trojan horses.
• Do you safeguard your business-critical data—in laptops, PCs, servers, smartphones, and USB sticks—with secure storage and backup?
• Is the internal business information that employees need to do their jobs readily available to them—wherever they are working? Do you control who can access specific types of information?
We can afterwards provide quotes for further work, installing new hardware, supplying software, storage and backup solutions and networking monitoring and on-going support.
