Jabra Introduces Subscription-Based Pricing

Jabra

Jabra has launched a vendor services group (VSG) program for enterprise customers.

All components of the deployment are covered under the subscription agreement. At the end of the subscription term, customers can upgrade to newer solutions, return the equipment, or keep what they have under a new agreement.

The VSG program will fund Jabra’s channel partners in full typically within 48 hours, says the company.
