NORWOOD, Mass. -- e-ClassicSystems is implementing a leasing program for ATM Manager Pro, its ATM business management system. The program is targeted primarily at small and mid-size ATM deployers, according to a news release.
"With the current economy, we needed to balance the need for our system with our customer's desire to conserve capital for new placements," explained Tyson Nargassans, director of sales and marketing of e-ClassicSystems, noting that the leasing program accomplishes these objectives.
The program includes all future product releases and unlimited telephone and Web support. Data conversion, on-site implementation and training are also available. In addition, the lease can include the annual renewal fees if desired.
The term can extend one to five years with the deployer having an option to acquire the rights to the software at the end of the lease term for a $1 buyout, according to the release.
"We examined a per transaction pricing model but selected the leasing program as our preferred method," Nargassans said. "The leasing program creates a solid and efficient back-office environment for a fixed investment. This investment will lead to better customer service, improved profitability and most importantly, help every deployer expand their network without the need for additional staff, which is the number one expense for any small business."
ATM Manager Pro is used to manage the operations of more than 63,000 ATMs worldwide at 59 customer sites. The product suite offers a number of integrated modules to centralize all ATM-related data including assets, configurations, transactions, profitability, cash, service, supplies and more.
