Leasing software as opposed to buying it
We prefer to lease Agent Arrange as opposed to selling it for the following reasons:
Customers don't have to pay a lot of money up front, instead they have a regular, predictable cost that they can budget for more easily.
Certain software companies seem to produce new versions of their products just to create additional revenue, often with few genuine enhancements. Leasing Agent Arrange means you always have the latest version without having to pay upgrade costs. This means that you always enjoy the latest functionality and any compatibility issues are minimized.
Once you have bought software from a company their motivation to look after you is, to put it mildly, significantly reduced. With leased software you can be sure of your supplier's motivation to help you.
Often with bought software you end up paying an ongoing support fee as well - so what seems like a one-off payment is actually a big up front cost and then an ongoing support fee anyway. With leasing you get the support without the high up front cost.
The world of computers is constantly changing. New versions of 3rd party software, especially operating systems, can create problems for existing software. If you've bought your software up-front you could be stuck with an expensive legacy system that won't work properly - with leasing you can be sure that your supplier is keen to fix any problems and keep you running.
A leasing model creates an ongoing partnership, a shared interest in the quality of the software, and a shared interest in making it as useful to your business as it can be.
Buying software is like a one night stand - we're more interested in a long term relationship.
