Dell Financial Services Helps PartnerDirect Members Make Better Use of Capital

Our Channel Chief Cheryl Cook even carried the message via t-shirt at a recent Dell sales training event.

By talking with channel partners at advisory councils, regional summits and Dell World, we learned they want access to Dell Financial Services (DFS) financing programs. We have responded by building a dedicated DFS channel organization and sales team to provide our PartnerDirect partners access to capital that can be key to their success.

“Now, when a new business opportunity comes along and we need to quickly acquire hardware fast, we can work with Dell Financial Services to make that happen and create a configuration that works for our customers,” said Bill Ranney, Chief Financial Officer, Carpathia Hosting.  “Dell Financial Services helps us match our cash flow and risk to specific customer contract needs. We can make better use of our capital, and that ultimately helps us drive profitability in our business.”

DFS continues to look for ways to enhance PartnerDirect program benefits and extend tools and capabilities to our partners and customers to help them grow and thrive. For example, DFS is offering highly flexible financing programs and promotions to help our channel partners provide customers with cutting-edge Dell products and solutions. We also just launched a zero percent finance lease on qualifying EqualLogic and Compellent storage solutions that gives approved commercial customers in the U.S. access to highly virtualized storage technology to help them manage critical data as they grow, whether they buy direct from Dell or through our registered partner network. This promotional offer sets the standard for DFS integration with the Dell PartnerDirect community now and in the future. Learn more about this offer that runs through May 2, 2014, whether you’re a direct customer or channel partner.

DFS is in a unique position to understand our customers’ technology needs while also having the capability to deliver customized payment solutions to help manage their cash flow. Now, with Dell’s increased focus on the channel, DFS is using that expertise to also help channel partners respond quickly to the financing needs of their customers.

If you’re a Dell channel partner and would like to learn more about current promotional financing offers or how DFS can help you and your customers, please email US DFS Partner Sales.
