Why Lease?

Leasing makes good business sense for any type of organization. Leasing can help you:

Minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Match Equipment Expense to Economic and Useful Life
Flexibly React to Change
Address IT Asset Disposal Challenges
Conserve Capital, Ease Drain on ROA, Maximize Budgets, Simplify the Budget Process, and Preserve Cash and Liquidity

Minimize Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

The cost of IT equipment is being driven down more and more each day. At the same time, ongoing equipment maintenance becomes increasingly expensive the more the equipment ages. Leasing is the perfect solution to this issue because it provides a built in disposal plan to replace aging equipment before it becomes too costly to operate. Managing Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) involves the law of supply and demand — acquiring IT equipment when supply volumes are high and just beginning to hit the secondary market saves you money up front. Leasing then allows you to establish a timetable to exit the equipment before operational cost become too expensive. At aXs Information Technology, LLC, we help you manage these critical windows to minimize your TCO.

Match Equipment Expense to Economic and Useful Life

Many companies today have unproductive equipment taking up costly space in their data centers because they purchased the equipment upfront. In most cases, this equipment has high book values relative to its actual market value. Leased IT equipment typically comes out of the operating budget, allowing you to pay for it only while it still has an economic useful life and performs an important operational function for your company. Leasing equipment instead of purchasing it outright provides a built in exit strategy, allowing you to replace the equipment before it becomes unproductive and eliminating "dead weight" in your data center.

Flexibly React to Change

In today's rapidly moving market, companies have to be positioned to react to change. Large customer projects present opportunities. Other projects change or sometimes go away. Budgets may not be available or initially planned for. Purchased IT assets may no longer be needed, but still carry significant book value to the company. Leasing IT equipment allows you to take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves and also minimizes the risk associated with projects that change or go away. Leasing provides an outlet to upgrade mid-term, refresh and dispose of equipment. It allows companies and departments to manage to budget goals without sacrificing good business opportunities.

Address IT Asset Disposal Challenges

IT Asset Disposition is a huge problem for companies today. Businesses who lease are at an advantage because they simply return the equipment to the lessor at the end of its cycle; however, aXs Information Technology, LLC has the ability to go one step beyond just taking the equipment back — we can help businesses liquidate surplus equipment and also remove proprietary data from servers or storage. These asset disposition and asset remarketing services allow companies to offload their non-leased equipment while also sharing in the profits — an exclusive advantage of working with aXs IT.

Conserve Capital, Ease Drain on ROA, Maximize Budgets, Simplify the Budget Process, and Preserve Cash and Liquidity

An operating lease does not tie up capital in assets needed to operate your business, thereby preserving capital for traditional capital needs and easing the drain on ROA (Return on Assets). Leasing allows you to get the most value out of your budget by making it more manageable and predictable. At aXs Information Technology, LLC, we work closely with our customers during the budgeting process to help them maximize their limited dollars and obtain the equipment they need to manage their business. Instead of trying to manage peaks in a capital budget, an operating lease allows companies to manage a more predictable and flatter budget each year.

Leasing also preserves cash and hence liquidity. The saying "Cash is King" is still accurate, so why tie up cash in IT equipment, which is well known for its quick depreciation? Leverage aXs IT's expertise by passing on the depreciation risk to us.
