Q&A with Extreme’s Senior Director of Capital Solutions

While speaking with Lisa Paquette-Nelson, the Senior Director of Extreme Capital Solutions, we discussed Capital Solutions and how organizations can dominate their digital transformation. Below is our Q&A where Lisa outlines how Capital Solutions operate and why businesses in need of digital transformation are no longer held back by budgetary constraints.

Question #1: What is the mission of Extreme Capital Solutions?

Extreme Capital Solutions is here to drive sales, increase revenue, expand Extreme’s customer relationships and market share. We do that by making acquisitions effortless for our customers. We are here to enhance the tools that our partners can use when approaching customers. And to help everybody understand that every sale has two very key components. One is the technology, of course, but the other is the financial component, the acquisition piece. So, for Extreme being able to understand what our customers really need, not only from a technology standpoint, but also how our customers consume that technology. We’re here to provide solutions to that equally important part of the sale.   

Question #2: Why should customers choose Extreme Capital Solutions over other lending institutions?

A customer’s best and most aggressive financing solution will always come from the manufacturer. That’s what makes Extreme unique from other lending institutions. We have financial selling experts in the field who stand right next to our partners and Extreme field sales executives talking and interacting with customers. It’s not unusual for us to get to know the financial buyers and the CFOs of these organizations very well. The people at Extreme Capital Solutions are an asset not only to Extreme, but to our customers as well. 

Question #3: What type of organizations are Extreme Network Subscriptions best suited for? 

Extreme Capital Solutions’ programs are best suited for; corporate customers, government organizations, healthcare organizations, and cloud hosting providers. This is because we can provide greater flexibility to customers than most lending institutions. 

Question #4: What are some additional highlights of Extreme Capital Solutions?

• Extreme Network Subscription: This subscription model allows organizations to refresh their network infrastructure or adjust the network capacity without needing to purchase more equipment. Therefore eliminating fixed-term commitments which enables customers to continue to invest in scaling all aspects of their business instead of their network. Through this model, Extreme’s customers are also able to reevaluate their subscription with 60 days’ advanced notice, giving our customers additional financial flexibility.
• Customized Lease Programs: Personalized lease programs enable organizations to acquire the equipment they need today while spreading the payments over several fiscal budgets. This program gives organizations greater flexibility to upgrade and continue to meet increasing performance and availability requirements with little upfront cost.
• Total Solution Financing: With Total Solution Financing, organizations can fund their network acquisition: hardware, software, services, and associated third-party equipment and services. This option makes it possible to fund purchases and still retain cash reserves.
• Compensation Plans Available Through Resellers: Extreme offers two compensation plans available through approved Extreme partners. One is a VAR-enabled managed service provider model and the other is a traditional resale model.
