ECONOCOM, technology made easyFor over 35 years, ECONOCOM has helped its customers in managing and evolving their IT and telecom infrastructures to guarantee them access anytime, anywhere.

TECHNOLOGY FUNDING

ECONOCOM can fund all Information and Communication Technology (ICT) assets. This includes laptops, PCs, servers, telephone systems, CCTV, networking, storage area networks (SAN), printers, and mainframes.

ECONOCOM can fund a wide range of software projects such as ERP, CRM and warehouse management systems plus PMS and CMS systems in the legal sector.

ECONOCOM can also finance your intelligent devices, also known as Smart Objects. These intelligent products are able to identify themselves and/or perform tasks they receive or send information using embedded technology.

Smart Objects include a wide variety of devices such as: touch screens, tablets (ie. iPads), smart phones, interactive terminals, EPOS, PDA, handheld devices, digital signage, bedside terminals, multimedia terminals, wall screens and more.

The Smart Object market is expected to grow dramatically and ECONOCOM is equipped and ready to provide the right financial solution for you today!

Why lease with ECONOCOM?Leasing is the only funding solution that helps you increase your savings and benefits. Leasing removes obsolescence issues associated with purchase and all rentals are fully tax deductible, resulting in considerable tax savings.

ACCOUNTING BENEFITS

Your lease can be structured to be compliant with accounting standards if it needs to be off balance sheet, which helps preserve your company debt and asset ratios. Alternatively, it can be structured so that all costs are “below the line” preserving your company operating profit.

Whatever your accounting standards, whether IAS, UK or US GAAP, ECONOCOM has the financial expertise to match your requirements.

RESIDUAL VALUE

ICT equipment typically depreciates to obsolescence over five years. Most companies refresh their ICT estate before the equipment reaches obsolescence, typically three years. By matching the lease term with your refresh cycle, ECONOCOM shoulders the future risk of the equipment, not you.

ICT residual value at three years is approximately 5 - 15%. A three year lease can thus help you save between 5 and 15%.

As arguably Europe’s largest broker in second-user equipment, ECONOCOM has the expertise and systems to invest realistic residual values in all our solutions.

COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL

ECONOCOM handles the entire end-of-life process, from collection to recycling, reselling on the second-user market or disposal in compliance with the WEEE directive. Collection and disposal are included in the lease rate and all confidential data is removed from customer systems and warranted to such effect (compliant with FAST (Federation Against Software Theft) and Data Protection Act).

SALE AND LEASEBACK

ECONOCOM can buy your existing ICT estate and lease it back to you, thereby providing positive cash flow and all the benefits of the ECONOCOM inclusive services which our leasing customers enjoy.

What assets can we fund?

What other services do we provide?

PRE-LEASE FACILITY

The Project Rental Agreement (PRA) is a pre-lease facility that gives you the time you need to build up your IT estate before the start of your lease.

The PRA facility is set up for the anticipated spend and for an agreed period in which the expenditure is likely to occur. This is typically three to six months.

At the end of the PRA, all approved invoices are drawn down into a lease. There is no charge for setting up this facility or any underutilisation charge if the whole facility is not used. You only pay an interim charge – applied on a daily basis – on the amount of the facility utilised. Should the project lapse, ECONOCOM can extend the pre-lease period as much as required.

CLASSIC LEASE

The ECONOCOM Classic Lease is designed to help you invest in IT while preserving your cash reserves for core business needs.

The classic lease is tailored to suit you. You decide the frequency of your lease payments and the duration of your contract. You have complete freedom over what, when and where you buy; and we operate independently of manufacturers, suppliers and banks. We allow you to spread your cost evenly over a number of years, without having to deal with the peaks in investment associated with purchasing.

ECONOCOM aims to provide a solution which mirrors your strategy. This might require a single lease for each financial year, or one lease per asset type, such as laptops or servers. Whatever the requirement, ECONOCOM can structure the leases accordingly.

TECHNOLOGY REFRESH OPTION

TRO is ECONOCOM’s advanced financial solution designed to manage your technology refreshes within a stable budget.

ECONOCOM understands that your technology is evolving every day. Therefore, we have developed TRO to help you refresh your IT when you need, not when the lease or budget dictates.

TRO is flexible: you determine the renewal strategy, the timing of your renewals and the parameters of your lease. TRO gives you total control: over budget, over process, over assets.

TRO is clear and transparent, thanks to our market leading asset management tool: Master IT. This means, you can track your assets, invoices and financial information 24/7.
