Our Guide for Schools Wanting to Lease IT Equipment

School ICT Budgets and how leasing helps.

School budgets are constantly being squeezed. At the same time, the demand for ICT within education is ever increasing. The demand to “do more for less” has never been so great. Leasing assets like Laptops, Desktops and Ipads eliminates the requirement to use precious capital budgets. It also results in a predictable, easy-to-budget approach that helps manage assets and preserve cash-flow within schools.

Leasing provides schools with the means to maximise their available funds. So the existing budget can be used in other essential areas instead. With IT losing so much of its value so quickly, a low-cost lease is a perfect solution. In fact, nothing loses its value faster than computers and laptops so leasing is the obvious choice.

This is particularly true when the lease option is actually less expensive than the buying option. It is also an effective way of achieving better cash management. Spreading the cost over 2 to 5 years can make a huge difference to your cash flow.

Before looking at leasing, schools will usually go through their normal commissioning process for the equipment. So this will involve a pre-purchasing review to identify the need, prepare the specification and obtaining quotes. It is at this stage that InnoVent can help with benchmarking and validating the capital purchase prices.

We will make sure that the acquisition costs are in line with market pricing. Overpaying for IT assets is a waste that no organisation can afford. We also make sure that you are not looking at equipment that is just coming to the end of its life. So if it is just about to be replaced by a new model we will tell you.

“We really like the fact that, unlike other lease companies, Innovent really do want our IT kit back at the end of the lease. This means we can get far better lease rates than anyone else can offer” ….TUI.

“Innovent’s prices are amazing. If you are thinking of leasing IT, whether new or refurbished, I strongly recommend you speak to them first”.

We are a specialist Technology Asset Management organisation. Our business is built around the core principle of rental and re-rental of technology. This is our approach in order to maximise the use of that technology over a very long life. The fact that we actually want the equipment back when you have finished with it has two huge advantages:

• The cost of the lease will be far less than with most other leasing companies. Your savings will be significant.
• We take the equipment back, totally wipe it free of all data and then rent it out to someone else. This satisfies your wish to demonstrate your green credentials. Throwing it into the skip is simply unacceptable. But that’s literally what most lease companies do because they simply don’t want the kit back. At Innovent Leasing – we really do and we pass those benefits onto you.
