If you read farther down in the release, the 0% lease financing is good for deals meeting a minimum $100,000.

This is not a standard priced, off-the-shelf software. Zero percent financing give substantial cost savings over 3-5 years. If you were to take that same savings and lop it off the “price” of the contract, the sales reps and their managers would have coronaries. Cheap financing is way to get the sale without lowering the sales revenue figure or commission structure.
