It's about access, not ownership.
Technology is becoming increasingly important for our customers' business worldwide. Investing in technology projects such as a digital infrastructure with high-performing IT hardware has become essential for companies that want to keep pace with the digital transformation.
This development presents great opportunities for CHG-MERIDIAN, as we offer our customers access to modern technology through IT usage models such as leasing, rental, and Device-as-a-Service. These solutions are cost-efficient, flexible, and sustainable, as our business model is based on the principle of the circular economy.
2024 was the most successful year in our more than 45-year history. We remain focused on our goal for the future: putting our customers' needs first and supporting them with modern technology management.
It's time to unlock circular tech
Our Sustainability Insights offer a concise overview of our understanding of sustainability and important developments in this area.
We are committed to lifecycle thinking, with the aim of making the usage cycle of IT equipment more sustainable. This also includes giving our It lease returns a second life through professional remarketing. In 2024, we gave around 1,000,000 IT devices, or 94 percent of all IT lease returns, a second life through refurbishment and remarketing in our modern technology centers or via our partners.
The potential for modern usage models has never been greater than it is now.
With IT investments forecast to reach $5.6 trillion in 2025 (according to Gartner) and more than two-thirds of companies planning to increase their investments in artificial intelligence, it is clear how crucial digital transformation has become.
However, success depends on technology investments being cost-efficient, flexible and sustainable. Circular tech solutions offer exactly that: access to modern technologies without tying up capital, preserving liquidity and at the same time operating in a scalable and resource-efficient manner.
