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 network of partner and owned Technology and Service Centers across all our locations 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? Are 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 partner and owned Technology and Service Centres, used equipment undergoes sustainable visual and technical refurbishment in line with the principles of green IT. We thoroughly analyse 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. Equipment that cannot be remarketed is disposed of in a professional and environmentally responsible way.

Remarketing
We take care of the refurbishment of your IT assets and are remarketing specialists, which means we can even remarket older hardware after it has been thoroughly refurbished.
Rollout and rollback
We will assist you with the delivery of your new hardware and offer individual software distribution. We support you along the entire process chain so that everything is in the right place at the right time.
At the end of the IT lifecycle our experts arrange the deinstallation of old assets and take care of the collection, refurbishment, and remarketing.
Certified data erasure
To protect your data from third parties, we offer data erasure solutions for a variety of storage media. Our certified data erasure is individually tailored to your protection requirements and data categories. You can choose between the eraSURE® and the eraSURE®+ process.
Refurbishment
To maximise the value of your old assets, they are optically and technically refurbished, analysed, and tested. Any identifiers of the previous owner are removed, and any missing components are added before the item is repackaged.
