From now on companies can snap up the latest IT solutions from Siemens Nixdorf without constantly having to invest in new systems. As part of their new "ValueCare" deal, Siemens Nixdorf is offering the use of its current hardware and software including associated support services for a fixed monthly charge. This will allow customers to keep their IT environment at the cutting edge of technology and always one step ahead of the competition. The rapid pace of innovation in modern client/server networks poses many problems for companies. Although PC systems are only written off after three to five years, they are technically obsolete after as little as one to two years. With ValueCare, the customer and Siemens Nixdorf together define the desired workstation functionality in the light of modern information technology and replacement cycles for IT components. Innovative financing models make the new service easy to use. Companies opting for ValueCare receive a "complete peace-of-mind package". Siemens Nixdorf not only installs complete client/server systems but also looks after the integration of new components and the associated support service. ValueCare offers the customer IT solutions that are always state-of-the-art, at reduced lifecycle costs and fixed prices which make IT budgets easier to cost. Adopting ValueCare is simplified by the "sale-and-lease-back concept" whereby existing client/server systems are bought from customers at residual book value, then offered to them to use again as part of an individually tailored ValueCare package. The benefit for customers is that they do not have to report losses for residual book values of used systems and can immediately begin exchanging them for new Siemens Nixdorf systems.
