NASHUA, N.H., July 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Jabra today
announced the launch of its Jabra Vendor Services Group Program
which gives North American customers and partners the ability to
wrap the cost of their deployment - hardware, software and services
- into a monthly subscription based payment model. Avoiding large
up-front capital expenses removes a major deployment obstacle faced
by many IT departments, from small businesses to Fortune 500
clients, and accelerates the success of communication and
collaboration deployments.
The Jabra VSG Program is designed to allow end users to take
advantage of new communications and collaboration technology
without the burden of high up-front capital expenses by entering
into a simple monthly subscription agreement. It also benefits
Jabra's channel partners, not only by giving them a simple
financing tool that removes one of the biggest hurdles in new
deployment success, but also by funding them in full typically
within 48 hours. Best of all, Jabra VSG handles all logistics,
support and financing for the duration of the subscription
agreement. At the end of the subscription term, customers can
upgrade to newer solutions, return the equipment or keep what they
have under a new agreement.
By allowing all components of the deployment to be covered under
the subscription agreement, both channel partners and end users can
enjoy the benefit of one single agreement that covers everything –
not separate agreements with different vendors.
"With this new program from Jabra, our customers can now replace
their traditional phone systems with a unified communications
solution without the typical large upfront investment," Apex
Digital's VP of Technology Eric Inch said. "The costs associated
with the entire upgrade, from the gateways and endpoints to the
professional services and software costs, can be paid as a monthly
subscription over the term of the agreement. Technologies like
Microsoft Lync provide numerous benefits including increased
collaboration, efficiency and access and this Jabra program
provides a great solution to help facilitate increased adoption.
I'm excited to talk about this offering with our current and future
clients."
While the Jabra VSG Program was originally envisioned to be a
solution for the SMB market, early pilot programs have shown the
company that even Fortune 500 clients enjoy the benefits of
greater financial flexibility. "Cash flow is like oxygen to the SMB
market," Jabra's Sales VP Urban Gillis notes. "So anything we can
do to help stay fast and competitive in this business environment
is good for everybody. But with enterprise class CIO's coming under
more pressure to quantify the benefits of their voice deployments –
which is a trend we're definitely seeing – we're finding that even
the big players want the flexibility that comes with a scalable
approach like our VSG program."
