Tech Data has added HPE Financial Services (HPEFS) as its funding partner for its tech-as-a-service (TaaS) B2B offering. HPEFS will make TaaS more accessible to SMB partners through flexible finance models, such as lower minimum deal size, contract duration terms ranging from 12-to-60-months and minimum hardware requirements.
“This is an expansion of a long established and strong relationship between HPEFS and Tech Data,” Roman Rudolf, vice president, strategy and services, Tech Data.
“We are particularly excited to help SMB partners to accelerate their adoption of as-a-service subscription models. HPEFS’s deep IT market knowledge means they are already familiar with many partners in our customer base, which will enable greater agility in the onboarding and approval process.”
TaaS B2B offering already works with several funding partners, including banks and credit providers to create a range of finance options for partners, looking to expand their subscription offerings.
Using the ‘subscription’ builder that is integrated into Tech Data’s InTouch e-commerce platform, partners can package hardware, software and services from multiple vendors into one solution and offer it as a subscription to their customers.
