As part of a technology company, it is perhaps not surprising that Siemens Financial Services has pioneered online self service tools within the leasing and business finance industry. In 2001 the company launched the market’s first online lease proposal tool – ease-elease – which for many years has been acknowledged as industry leading. [1]
In addition its motor contracts division has an online vehicle lease quotation tool about which industry publication Motor Finance said, "Siemens online motor contract tool is arguably the most sophisticated in the UK."[2]
