Why Leasing Makes Sense for Your Agency

Save time and money. Assure your equipment is current.

The DIS lease program can help state agencies lower total technology ownership costs on desktop PCs, laptops, or servers. Industry analysts say effective leasing strategies can reduce these costs by 10 to 15 percent.

The lease program offers flexible 36- to 48-month terms for equipment with a total value of at least $5,000. As lease participants, agencies can replace old or obsolete equipment with the new technology or acquire more cost-effective solution and manage that solution throughout its lifecycle. This disciplined technology replacement strategy helps agencies get current and stay current, apply best practices, and meet state standards.

There are numerous advantages to leasing, including:

  • Agencies gain pricing advantages through DIS participation in the Western States Contracting Alliance (WSCA), which negotiates best discounts with equipment manufacturers for state agencies.

  • Customers pay a low monthly fee for equipment, enabling organizations to spread the payments for infrastructure technologies over the useful life of the assets, matching costs with benefits.

  • Customers replace large up-front payments with predictable expenses month-to-month, which facilitates budget reporting and planning. Save your capital budgets for other expenditures.

  • Negotiate flexible terms up front and extend leases up to 48 months. (Maximum useful life of equipment is 48 months.)

  • Purchase equipment that complies with state configuration standards matching the right capacity with the productivity needs of staff.

  • Acquire the technology needed now.

  • Avoid technology obsolescence.

  • Incorporate technological advances each time you refresh equipment.

  • Warranty service through equipment vendors or manufacturers;.

  • Safe and environmentally sustainable end-of-life disposal practices.

  • Only the DIS Lease Program supports the Computers for Kids program, which redistributes end-of-lease computers to Washington schools.
