Codeweavers said that lengthy contracts were unnecessary, and shorter agreements allowed software lessees to be able to react to changes in the market. Shaun Harris, sales director at Codeweavers, said that access to new technology was important for finance dealers.
He said: “In today’s dynamic market, dealers need to have access to innovative technology that is relevant to the market needs of the moment.

Those interviewed told Leasing Life that the proportion of technology leasing devoted to software had risen to 75%.
