Leasing with Forsythe provides you with ongoing access to, and leverage of, our technology market and vendor management expertise to help lower the cost and risk of your infrastructure decisions. Forsythe’s leading position as a technology lessor, reseller, and integrator allows you to significantly simplify and streamline your IT equipment procurement, financing, and disposal processes.

Lifecycle Management
As an independent IT solutions provider, Forsythe is your best resource for objective lifecycle management advice. Virtually all current “best-in-class” IT solutions will be marginalized by more operationally cost-effective offerings within 30 months. Working with Forsythe provides insider access to OEM product “futures.”

Refresh Management
Forsythe’s 36 years of marketplace experience suggests that while today’s “best-in-class” solution will continue to do the job it was installed to do, there is a very high probability that within 30 months, the issue won’t be the technology but the year-over-year changes to application requirements and expectations. Therefore, the best time to make an informed decision on your optimum refresh window is often prior to a solution’s installation.

Consume and Dispose
Within approximately three years of installation, the operating cost to continue use of a marginalized IT solution no longer compares favorably to newer, smaller, faster, more energy efficient and less expensive offerings. Like other perishable commodities, the optimum usage window and disposal challenges should be key considerations at the time an IT solution is selected and implemented.

Decision Making Safety
The independent partner you choose to assist you to design, source and implement an IT solution is the safest partner for you to choose to assist you to match your financial commitment to your refresh/disposal timeframe. The same objective, unbiased, OEM-neutral reasons that prompted you to work with Forsythe on the front end of an IT solution make Forsythe your safest financial services partner during and at the end of the solution’s lifecycle.

Operating Flexibility
Technology upgrades, modifications, and even replacement prior to and after lease expiration have been normal course business for decades at Forsythe. Thirty-six years in IT leasing has proven the critical importance of Forsythe retaining complete ownership of all assets it places on lease so that it is positioned to quickly respond when IT solutions become operationally compromised, either earlier or later than expected. There are no delays or administrative hang-ups driven by the tax or financial motivations of remote, uninvolved owners or investment funds.

IT Solutions Are Perishable Consumables, Not Capital Investments
Tapping into investment capital to gain usage of a perishable IT commodity consumes a valuable resource that should be used to acquire an appreciating asset, not to secure title to an asset that will precipitously lose both its market value and operational advantages. Pay for usage, not for title.

Structural Flexibility
Forsythe is prepared to customize any lease to meet the specific objectives of its client. Operating leases, capital leases, single payment (prepaid, no interest) leases, zero payment step-up leases, and budget-matching run-rate leases are all normal course offerings from Forsythe. In select cases, we also design custom JIT and COD solutions. Our singular objective is to assist your efforts to match your fiscal commitment to the solution’s optimum useful life.

Lessee Friendly Documentation
Forsythe leads the industry in offering lessee friendly, “best practices” lease documentation free of hidden clauses that are the catalyst of so many lessee problems during the lease term. Forsythe documentation incorporates reasonable and balanced “best practices” language that covers return/relocation/upgrade/repair and modification, fair notice requirements, plus FMV extension and/or purchase options.

Leased Asset Management Support Tools
Far too often, lessees struggle with administering leased IT solutions. Forsythe addresses that problem by providing a user friendly, secure, Internet-based asset management tool to its lessees for no additional fee. The “Go Forsythe” leased asset management system maintains a current record of all pertinent lease data, including (but not limited to) schedule umbers/dates, serial numbers, expiration dates, notice dates, location, and tax status. Authorized lessee personnel are provided both access and update privileges.
