Bridging the divide: Quadrent’s leasing solutions strengthen alignment

In today’s enterprise landscape, the relationship between the CIO and CFO is more critical than ever. Together, these leaders have a significant influence through decisions on technology investment and financial strategy. Yet, despite their shared responsibility, misalignment between IT and finance remains a persistent challenge for many organisations.

Bridging this gap isn’t just possible - it’s essential. Our leasing solutions are uniquely positioned to foster collaboration between CIOs and CFOs,  accelerating enterprise-wide transformation by enabling smarter technology funding decisions.

Here's how:

The strategic role of the CFO in tech spend

Recent insights from ADAPT reveal a powerful statistic: 74% of CIOs rank the CFO as strategically involved in IT spend, coming behind only the CEO. This means that even the most compelling technology business cases can stall without CFO buy-in.

However, many CFOs face barriers to engagement. Nearly half admit they lack visibility into tech spend, and 80% struggle to track ROI. This lack of clarity slows approvals and can derail even well-planned initiatives.

Quadrent’s leasing solutions directly address these pain points. By offering transparent, predictable funding models and clear ROI metrics, we empower CFOs with the financial clarity they need to confidently support IT investments.

Speaking the language of both leaders

One of Quadrent’s greatest strengths is our ability to speak fluently to both the CIO and the CFO. We work with CIOs to help them access the right tech solutions they need to drive innovation, efficiency, and competitive advantage. At the same time, we are able to collaborate with CFOs to design financial models that align funding with strategic goals.

This dual engagement positions us as trusted advisors to both sides of the table. We do more than facilitate transactions. We build relationships that help organisations make smarter, more aligned decisions.

Deeper relationships lead to better outcomes. Quadrent's tailored leasing solutions foster collaboration between
the CFO and CIO, driving improved business synergy.

Solving for visibility, ROI, and adoption

The disconnect between IT and finance isn’t just about funding, it’s also about outcomes. Over 40% of CFOs believe that less than 60% of deployed technology is fully adopted. This perception of underutilisation leads to concerns about tech debt and wasted investment.

By aligning funding with usage and performance, Quadrent's leasing solutions enable organisations to scale technology adoption more effectively, giving CFOs the data they need to validate investment decisions and ensure enterprise-wide value.

Accelerating decisions to increase deal size

For tech vendors and enterprise buyers alike, the stakes are high. Without CFO engagement, sales cycles lengthen, procurement hurdles escalate, and budgets are redirected. But when CIOs and CFOs are aligned, decisions accelerate, adoption improves, and deal sizes grow.

Quadrent plays a pivotal role in this alignment through leasing solutions designed to support strategic conversations, not just transactional ones. By helping CIOs and CFOs find common ground, we unlock faster approvals, deeper adoption, and greater impact.

A smarter way to fund technology

In a world where technology drives business outcomes, the CIO-CFO relationship is more important than ever. Quadrent’s leasing solutions provide the financial clarity, strategic alignment, and trusted advisory support needed to strengthen this partnership.

Whether you're a CIO looking to drive innovation or a CFO seeking financial control, Quadrent is here to help you fund smarter and achieve more. Find out how our specialists can help.
