Microsoft used its partner event yesterday to stress theimportance of its financial offering with David Mitchell, senior vice presidentof IT research at Ovum, pointing out that deals using finance were usuallylarger and concluded quicker than those without.
“Plus as a reseller you get paid a lot quicker,” he added.
Following on from that Scott Dodds, general manager ofsmall, medium enterprises & partners group at Microsoft, urged resellers toget to grips with its financing offering, which remained largely unknown in thechannel.
