Cisco Green Pay helps tip the scales in your favour. This payment model allows businesses to invest in Cisco technology with low-rate financing. It’s designed to help you modernise your infrastructure, reduce e-waste, and simplify budgeting—all while offering an upfront discount. ![Cisco Green Pay](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/Blogs/Cisco%20Green%20Pay/Cisco%20Green%20Pay.gif?width=737&height=395&name=Cisco%20Green%20Pay.gif) --- ## The Technology Investment Challenge The challenge for many businesses is clear: there are typically investment cycles, where budgets are set at the start of the year. When this budget has not accommodated any hardware refreshment or replacement for failed equipment, this often gets put off till the next financial year. Here are a few related challenges with the capital investment model: - **Asset Investment:** Companies like to have modern, efficient assets to help their business thrive - **Cashflow:** Sudden large spend can really hurt a company’s cashflow - **Evergreen:** Replacing equipment on a periodic basis is a little painful - the better way would be an evergreen strategy of strategic, periodic replacement - **Speed:** You need to request funding and there can often be lengthy delays in securing funding Cisco Capital can help answer all these challenges while helping businesses hit their sustainability goals - let's take a look!

At the end of the term, the equipment is returned to Cisco, where it enters their Circular Economy Program for reuse or recycling. Unlike everyday items, giving electronics a second life presents unique challenges. Cisco Green Pay helps overcome these by extending the lifecycle of your equipment and supporting your sustainability efforts. With Green Pay, it’s a win-win: predictable payments, access to the latest tech, and a clear path to meeting your sustainability goals. ![Green Pay](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-19-2025-03-41-48-9301-AM.png?width=563&height=317&name=image-png-Sep-19-2025-03-41-48-9301-AM.png) Related reading - [Environmentally Sustainable Network Refresh](https://blog.iptel.com.au/environmentally-sustainable-network-refresh) - [Environmentally Friendly & Sustainability Targets](https://blog.iptel.com.au/environmentally-friendly-and-sustainability-targets) --- ## The Benefits of Cisco Green Pay With Cisco Green Pay, you’ll receive a 5% incentive discount on Cisco equipment from the outset, meaning you only pay 95% of the hardware cost. Payments are spread up to five years, giving you fixed, predictable budgeting. This structure can lead to a lower total cost of ownership - up to 13% in savings. The program enables a smooth transition to more sustainable IT practices, while ensuring you benefit from the latest technology innovations. It’s a reliable way to keep your infrastructure current, without the burden of legacy equipment or unpredictable costs. When your Capital agreement ends, you can seamlessly continue and refresh your equipment, allowing for continuous access to the latest hardware. ![Green Pay Benefits](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-19-2025-03-48-35-8592-AM.png?width=664&height=326&name=image-png-Sep-19-2025-03-48-35-8592-AM.png)   --- ## How Does it Work We work with you to help deliver a solution to meet your business needs, from this we can determine the bill of materials you need. The Cisco Green Pay arrangement will then secure the funding you need – including hardware, software, and services – this can be bundled into a single contract with fixed payments for up to 5 years. This helps streamline your total project costs and simplifies financial planning.  At the end of the term, you have the option to upgrade to the latest technology or extend the agreement for an additional year. When the equipment is returned, Cisco covers the shipping costs and provides a certificate confirming that your hardware has entered the Circular Economy Program. With Cisco Green Pay, interest rates remain exceptionally low—not to drive profit from the leasing period, but to support you and Cisco in deploying new equipment efficiently. This approach sets it apart from typical lease agreements, focusing on making your upgrades straightforward and accessible – the goal is to ensure a seamless experience. *![Support the circular economy with Cisco](https://blog.iptel.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Sep-19-2025-03-51-09-5408-AM.png?width=595&height=335&name=image-png-Sep-19-2025-03-51-09-5408-AM.png)* Related reading - [Wi-Fi Surveys (Complete Overview of all the Survey types)](https://blog.iptel.com.au/wi-fi-surveys) --- ## Cisco Green Pay: Summary Cisco Green Pay is more than just a financing tool—it’s a strategic enabler. It helps you stay agile, reduce your environmental impact, and make smarter investment decisions. With the traditional method, you have ageing assets and a slow refresh cycle - all the while you're not getting the benefits the new technologies could bring for your business. If you’re ready to explore how Cisco Green Pay can work for your business, get in touch with the IPTel team. We’d love to help you design a solution that’s not only high-performing, but also future-ready and environmentally responsible.
