Challenge

The higher education facility needed a financing partner that would provide a software-only lease that fit within their tight budget. The software was essential to their operations, and they needed to lock in pricing while managing escalating annual renewal costs that were putting pressure on their budget.

Solution

Summus Financial Services implemented a leasing solution that provided the university with a large discount for the software on a multi-year lease. Committing to multiple years with the provider not only secured them the discount, but also locked in the pricing for the length of the 5-year term — allowing the university to enjoy fixed annual payments that fit within their budget.

By committing to a 5-year term, the university locked in pricing, secured a large discount, and eliminated the unpredictable renewal cost increases that had been straining their budget.
