Microsoft is extending its "total solution financing" option to Canada, the company said Monday.
The U.S. Total Solution Financing program was launched in September 2002 with much fanfare at the annual Microsoft Business Solutions (MBS) partner conference. Solution providers there literally applauded the news that the program would bankroll not just Microsoft software but services, hardware and third-party software as well. Integrators and resellers hoped that the low-interest financing, backed by Microsoft Credit, would jump-start sales in a stagnant IT spending environment.
