TAMPA, Fla., Feb. 6: Global Imaging Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:GISX) announced today that it has renewed its eight-year-old strategic alliance with GE Capital Solutions, extending the leasing program through October 2009. The program, which was initiated in 1999, provides a full range of financing and leasing options for Global's customers.
Global Imaging President and Chief Operating Officer Michael Shea said, "GE and Global have enjoyed a long-standing, mutually beneficial relationship. We know from experience that GE Capital Solutions' market leadership, financial resources and prompt execution of our transactions serve our customers well."
