Fair terms and conditions for Councils the key*

CIT Group is one of the largest publicly listed financiers in the world today. Originally known as AT&T Capital in the early 1990s, the CIT Group is now a fortune 500 company with offices in over 26 countries. In Australia, CIT has emerged as the leader in operating lease and commercial rental financing specialising in information technology, telecommunications and office equipment.

“We pride ourselves on the fact we have fair Terms and Conditions within our contracts” said Andrew Pearson, General Manager for the region. “We believe Local Government deserves fair and transparent contractual end of term provisions. Many of our customers, who have had difficulties in the past with other providers, appreciate CIT’s open and consultative approach with no “hidden” clauses.

“One other very important feature is that CIT has a wealth of knowledge in the IT and telecommunications sector. Couple this with the dedicated local account management, we find ourselves able to deliver prompt and flexible solutions to our clients.”

One such instance is where the City of Prospect chambers burnt down and CIT was called on to ensure the acquisition of new equipment was made as quick and painless as possible.

“I have been dealing with CIT for a number of years,” said Mark Whitford, IT Manager at Prospect City Council. “They are a breath of fresh air delivering flexible solutions with high quality outcomes.”

Ian Williamson, Port Stephens Council Technical Team Leader has also found working with CIT easy.

“I appreciate the transparent approach and dedicated account management CIT brings to Council,” he said. “It is a pleasure working with them.”

As an approved panelist under NSW government Contract ITS/3038, CIT has worked with Local Government to bring transparency to the process of financing technology equipment whilst retaining flexibility in providing the best solutions.
