further commitment to increasing GE Capital’s focus on industry

based on feedback from vendors.
According to a statement from the company, the

easily gain real-time access to their lease transactions”.
Some of its features include instantaneous
credit decisions online and the ability to generate lease quotes
and proposals.

process and enhancing their pipeline opportunity.”

awards and contributed to GE Capital’s nomination for Leasing
Life’s Innovator of the Year award, the winner of which will be
announced at the Leasing Life European Conference & Awards in
Munich on 3rd November 2011.
