Customers and Partner Network
WEST KINGSTON, R.I., March 29 /PRNewswire/ -- APC-MGE, a global leader
in critical power and cooling services, today announced the formation of
APC-MGE Financial Services to provide worldwide financing and leasing
capabilities to its customers. This new program gives APC-MGE customers
additional flexibility and options to facilitate the purchase of its
comprehensive solutions and services offering worldwide, including its
energy-efficient power, cooling and IT management solutions for data
centers.
"APC-MGE Financial Services responds to customer requests for
additional assistance when making investments in our solutions and
services," explained Dave Johnson, APC-MGE chief sales officer. "We are
excited to provide our partners globally with flexible, industry leading
financing options, including leasing programs. As our solution set and
offering complexity expands, the need for financing assistance grows as
well, particularly in vertical markets where needs are high but resources
can be limited."
APC-MGE selected IBM Global Financing (IGF), the lending and leasing
division of IBM, to provide worldwide leasing capabilities to customers
through APC-MGE Financial Services.
Scott & White, the largest multi-specialty hospital practice in Texas
has already signed on to the program. The hospital, which for the third
straight year was named one of the Solucient 100 Top Hospitals in the
country, has acquired APC-MGE technology through the program to further its
innovation and growth agendas.
"The IBM and APC-MGE alliance gave us the flexibility to bring
additional capacity into the data center while we remodeled and expanded
our facility," said Scott & White data center manager William Roe. "The
alliance helped address our needs, which were very specific."
Previously, IBM selected APC-MGE as a technology provider for the IBM
Scalable Modular Data Center service product, a new solution that helps
customers design an energy-efficient data center that can grow with the
needs of the business. This financing offering will help large and small
companies alike quickly access the working capital needed to deploy a
pre-engineered 500 or 1,000 square foot data center in nearly any working
environment, utilizing IBM Site and Facilities Services' capabilities and
APC-MGE's InfraStruXure(R) data center architecture.
APC-MGE Financial Services is available for APC and MGE products and
services globally. Customers interested in financing programs should
