ESET and Hitachi Capital America Vendor Services (HCA Vendor Services) today announced a collaboration to empower businesses of all sizes and industries to acquire ESET security software products and services via a simple and convenient payment plan.
The financing program gives ESET customers - acquiring ESET technology through partners and resellers - a financing option when purchasing their security solutions which is important for organizations who wish to preserve capital, may not have the budget to allocate to expanding or upgrading security software, or who have certain tax considerations.
Financing through HCA Vendor Services is now available in Canada and the U.S. The collaboration was first unveiled at ESET’s North America Partner Conference, in San Diego, Calif.
“Protecting your business and customers from cyber-attacks, should not be predicated on your ability to come up with a large sum of money upfront,” said Brent Broussard, SVP of Sales at HCA Vendor Services. “For many businesses, they need flexibility, which is why we built a program that makes it easy for customers of all sizes – from small businesses to the Fortune 500 – to acquire ESET’s security solutions via a simple and convenient payment plan.”
HCA Vendor Services is a non-bank specialty finance firm uniquely positioned to deliver fast, flexible and reliable solutions tailored to meet the customer's specific needs.
“The bottom line is, we know that IT departments are strapped, and it’s often difficult for them to get funding specifically for security technology,” said Gerald Choung, vice president of sales and marketing at ESET. “This alliance provides an easy way to expand, update or replace security technology.”
According to the Equipment Leasing and Finance Corporation, seventy-eight percent of American businesses use some form of financing when acquiring equipment, including loans, leases and lines of credit (excluding credit cards).
All ESET partner resellers in North America are automatically eligible to participate in this program. More information can be found by contacting your dedicated ESET Partner Account Manager.
