Siemens Enterprise Communications has launched the Xpressions Compact bundle promotion, a HiPath 3000 and integrated voicemail bundle for SMBs (especially those under 60 users), offered at an aggressive 50% discount.

The promotion, which runs from February 8 to April 30, is being operated through SEN Group distributors Sphinx, WestCon, and Nimans Group (Nimans and Rocom). It has the potential to be extended if market demand is strong.

Leon Mangan, UK Sales Director, Indirect Channel, Siemens Enterprise Communications, commented: "We have launched the Xpressions Compact promotion as resellers need innovative ways to help their customers ‘kick start' customer sales. Many small firms' ability to invest in better communications systems is being held back by the current economic uncertainty and this bundle's combination of attractive pricing and equipment will help tip the balance for investment."

Mark Casey, Managing Director of GoForward! partner Marcom, added: "The bundle proposition directly addresses the price pressures in today's economic climate. This will enable us to unlock our pipeline opportunities where price is more of a determining factor.

"At present, many businesses are only receiving very small returns of around two per cent on their cash and investing that capital into a communications platform will give them a much better return in terms of net profits. This model will help customers that don't otherwise have the capital to purchase a new system or are not eligible for leasing facilities, to review their options in view of the significant reductions available."
