AUTOMATED ERASURE PROCESS FOR END-TO-END DATA SECURITY
Data security requires a holistic solution, not an isolated one – and this is reflected in CHG-MERIDIAN's consultancy approach. In our mind, data security starts with choosing the equipment and classifying the security levels. But the biggest challenge is right at the end of the lifecycle, when it comes to completely and permanently erasing data on old IT equipment.
Our Technology Centers in Gross-Gerau and Skien provide the perfect solutions for a wide range of asset equipment types, from computers and mobile devices to printers.
The thoroughness of the data erasure or destruction process depends on your individual security requirements. We offer a data erasure solution that provides a high level of process reliability: eraSURE®.
Only certified erasure can provide the peace of mind needed when reselling IT equipment on the secondary market.

TRANSPARENT END-OF-LIFE PROCESS
Equipment tracking made easy with TESMA®
Which PC is currently being refurbished? How many printers need to be scrapped? Were smartphones fully refurbished, ready to be sold on the secondary market? Our technology and service management system, TESMA®, can help you answer these questions. The TESMA® end-of-life module enables seamless asset tracking, so you can keep complete track of what is happening to the decommissioned technology you have entrusted to us. All process steps and serial numbers are documented for your internal audit.
Eco-friendly refurbishment for a low fee
At our Technology Centers, used equipment undergoes sustainable visual and technical refurbishment in line with the principles of green IT. We thoroughly analyze the technology and remove anything that can identify the previous owner, thus retaining the residual value. This is the ideal way to prepare the equipment for remarketing, which generates welcome additional returns for you. And we make good use of our diverse international network of certified partners and wholesalers for the secondary market. We support them with flexible collection options, special packaging to protect against damage, buyer compliance checks, attractive equipment packages, price calculations, and recommendations for the best sales markets, for example. Any equipment that cannot be reused is sustainably returned to the material cycle through our certified recycling partners. CHG-MERIDIAN’s environmental management at both technology centers is ISO 14001-certified.
