Alcatel-Lucent, a manufacturer and provider of telecoms
equipment and services, said the programme was tailored
specifically for SMEs, and will help support business partners and
resellers. The programme launched with an introductory zero-percent
financing promotion until the end of 2009 for SMEs.
“Partnering with BPLG in this new offering will enable our
customers to manage their communication needs despite the tight
credit situation brought about by the current economic
environment,” said Marie-Laure Mazaud, global head of project
finance and credit at Alcatel-Lucent.
Alcatel-Lucent Financial Services will be offered through the
manufacturer’s resource network and through an automated online
quotation tool.
“We look forward to deploying this international programme on
behalf of Alcatel-Lucent,” said Joseph Pulicano, head of IT and
telecoms at BNP Paribas Lease Group. “Our combined forces will
bring Alcatel-Lucent Business partners an efficient and easy-to-use
financing service to continue developing their sales, while small
and medium business customers preserve or optimise their financial
positions.”
