Vi overfører bare brukernes personopplysninger til tredjeparter når dette for eksempel er nødvendig for kontraktsmessige formål eller basert på våre berettigede interesser ut fra en økonomisk og effektiv drift av virksomheten vår. I de tilfellene vi tilbyr tjenester gjennom underleverandører, arrangerer vi egnede juridiske ordninger sammen med passende tekniske og organisatoriske tiltak for å verne personopplysningene i samsvar med relevante lovbestemmelser. Tredjeland vil si land der GDPR ikke er en direkte del av gjeldende lov. Dette inkluderer i utgangspunktet alle land utenfor EØS. Personopplysninger som overføres til et tredjeland eller en internasjonal organisasjon. I slike tilfeller tas det hensyn til EU-kommisjonens beslutning om tilstrekkelighet. Den sier at et tredjeland eller en internasjonal organisasjon regnes som sikker hvis de tilbyr en tilstrekkelig grad av vern. Vi overholder prinsippene for dataøkonomi og dataunngåelse. Dette betyr at vi lagrer opplysninger som blir gjort tilgjengelig for oss, bare så lenge det er nødvendig for å oppfylle de forannevnte formålene, eller innenfor de mange lagringsperiodene som er fastsatt av lovgiverne. Hvis det relevante formålet ikke lenger eksisterer eller den aktuelle perioden har utløpt, blir personopplysningene dine rutinemessig blokkert, henholdsvis slettet, i samsvar med lovbestemmelsene. Vi har internt i virksomheten utviklet et konsept for å garantere denne prosedyren. Hvis du tar kontakt med oss med e-post eller gjennom kontaktskjemaet, innebærer det at du samtykker til elektronisk kommunikasjon. Vi innhenter personopplysninger i samband med din kontakt med oss. Hvilke opplysninger som innhentes når kontakten skjer gjennom et kontaktskjema, kan sees på det enkelte kontaktskjema. Opplysningene blir overført med SSL-kryptering.

Dette kan skje ubemerket og uten autorisasjon under overføringen. Vi vil også gjøre oppmerksom på at vi bruker programvare for å filtrere ut uønsket e-post (søppelpostfilter). E-postmeldinger kan avvises av søppelpostfilteret hvis meldingene ved en feil identifiseres som søppelpost på grunn av bestemte egenskaper.

Nettjenesten vår bruker informasjonskapsler Informasjonskapsler: Alle nettlesere kan stilles inn slik at informasjonskapsler bare blir godkjent på forespørsel. Det er også mulig å velge et oppsett hvor informasjonskapsler bare aksepteres for nettsteder som for øyeblikket blir besøkt. Alle nettlesere tilbyr funksjoner som gjør det mulig å slette informasjonskapsler selektivt. Det er også mulig å avslå å samtykke i informasjonskapsler generelt, men i så fall må du også akseptere visse begrensninger i nettjenestens brukervennlighet. Informasjonskapslene administreres av nettstedet til nettjenesten vår. Nettjenesten bruker øktbaserte informasjonskapsler Varighet: Inntil nettjenesten lukkes Alle nettlesere har muligheten til å begrense eller slette informasjonskapsler. Du finner mer informasjon om dette på følgende nettsteder: Vi bruker tjenestene til etracker GmbH fra Hamburg i Tyskland ( ) på dette nettstedet for å analysere bruksdata. Til dette bruker vi informasjonskapsler for statistiske analyser av hvordan de besøkende bruker dette nettstedet, og for å vise bruksrelatert innhold og annonser. Informasjonskapslene er små tekstfiler som nettleseren lagrer på brukerens enhet. Informasjonskapslene fra etracker inneholder ingen informasjon som gjør det mulig å identifisere brukeren. Dataene som produseres av etracker, blir utelukkende behandlet og lagret av etracker i Tyskland, etter ordre fra leverandøren av dette nettstedet, og de beskyttes av de strenge lovene og standardene for personvern i Tyskland og EU. I denne sammenhengen har etracker blitt uavhengig testet, sertifisert og tildelt utmerkelsen ePrivacyseal for sin datasikkerhet.

Behandling for å ivareta våre berettigede interesser – art. 6 nr. 1 bokstav f i GDPR Da våre besøkendes personvern er svært viktig for oss, blir IP-adressene anonymisert av etracker så snart som mulig, og registrerings- eller enhetsidentifikasjonen blir omdannet av etracker til en nøkkel som er unik, men ikke tilordnet noen person. etracker bruker også data på andre måter, kombinerer dem med andre data eller overfører dem til tredjeparter. Du kan når som helst gjøre innsigelser mot den forannevnte databehandlingen i den grad den anvender dine personopplysninger. Innsigelsene dine har ingen negative konsekvenser for deg.

METIS nettsignaler brukes til å spore hvor mange som besøker forskjellige undersider på nettstedet vårt. Vi bruker Google Maps for å presentere kart og opprette rutekart. Google Maps drives av Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Når du bruker denne nettjenesten, innebærer dette at du samtykker til at Google, en av deres representanter eller en tredjepartsleverandør innhenter, behandler og bruker opplysninger som innhentes automatisk, og som du selv oppgir (inkludert IP-adressen). Følgende lenke fører deg til vilkårene for å bruke Google Maps: Du finner mer informasjon om åpenhet og valg samt personvernforskrifter på personvernsenteret på google.de: På nettstedet vårt bruker vi Google konverteringssporing, en analysetjeneste fra Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; «Google»). Google Ads plasserer en informasjonskapsel på datamaskinen din (en konverteringsinformasjonskapsel) hvis du har kommet til nettstedet vårt via en Google-annonse. Disse informasjonskapslene utløper etter 30 dager og brukes ikke til personlig identifikasjon. Hvis du besøker visse sider på nettstedet vårt og informasjonskapselen ikke har utløpt ennå, kan det hende at vi og Google vil registrere at noen har klikket på annonsen og har blitt omdirigert til nettstedet vårt. Hver Google Ads-kunde får sin egen informasjonskapsel. Informasjonskapslene kan derfor ikke spores gjennom nettstedene til Google Ads-kundene. Informasjonen som innhentes med konverteringsinformasjonskapselen, brukes til å generere konverteringsstatistikk for Google Ads-kunder som har valgt konverteringssporing. Google Ads-kundene får vite hvor mange brukere som klikket på annonsen deres, og som har blitt ført til en side som er merket med en konverteringssporingskode. Du vil imidlertid ikke motta noen informasjon som identifiserer brukere personlig. Hvis du ikke ønsker å delta i sporing, kan du deaktivere installasjonen av informasjonskapsler i innstillingene til nettleseren (deaktiveringsalternativ). Deretter blir de ikke inkludert i konverteringssporingsstatistikken.

Denne tjenesten tilbys av YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave. San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. Du kan lese mer i YouTubes personvernerklæring. Det brukes en utvidet personvernmodus som ifølge leverandøren først begynner å registrere brukerinformasjon når videoavspillingen startes. Hvis avspillingen av en innebygd YouTube-video begynner, bruker YouTube informasjonskapsler for å samle inn informasjon om brukeratferd. Ifølge informasjon fra YouTube brukes dette blant annet til å samle videostatistikk, gjøre brukervennligheten bedre og hindre misbruk. Uavhengig av avspillingen av de innebygde videoene blir det opprettet en forbindelse med Google-nettverket DoubleClick hver gang nettjenesten vår åpnes. Dette kan føre til ytterligere former for databehandling som vi ikke har innflytelse over.

De termer som används gäller, inom ramen för likabehandling, båda könen. De termer som används, till exempel "personuppgifter", och "behandling" definieras i artikel 4 i Dataskyddsförordningen (GDPR). De registrerades personuppgifter som behandlas i samband med dessa onlinetjänster omfattar lagerdata (t.ex. kundens namn och adress), avtalsuppgifter (t.ex. utnyttjade tjänster, namn på ansvarig person, betalningsinformation), användningsdata (t.ex. besökta webbplatser, intresse för våra produkter) och innehållsdata (t.ex. uppgifter i kontaktformulär). ”Registrerade" avser alla kategorier av personer som påverkas av databehandlingen, till exempel våra affärspartners, kunder, intressenter och andra besökare på våra webbplatser. Artikel 6 (1) (a) i GDPR anges den rättsliga grunden för behandlingen i samband med att vi söker samtycke till behandling för ett visst ändamål. Om personuppgifter behöver behandlas för att fullgöra ett avtal i vilket den registrerade är part, såsom t.ex. vid behandling i samband med varuleveranser eller leverans av en tjänst eller betalning för den, regleras behandlingen av personuppgifter av Artikel 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Detsamma gäller om behandlingen är nödvändig för vissa förberedande steg innan ett avtal ingås, t.ex. vid frågor om våra varor eller tjänster. Om behandlingen är nödvändig för att fullgöra en rättslig förpliktelse som åvilar oss, t.ex. enligt skattelagstiftningen, regleras detta i Artikel 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Om behandlingen är nödvändig för att skydda intressen som är av grundläggande betydelse för den registrerade eller för en annan fysisk person, regleras detta av Artikel 6 (1) (d) GDPR. Behandling av personuppgifter regleras även av artikel 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Behandlingen är nödvändig för ändamål som rör våra eller tredje parts berättigade intressen, om inte den registrerades intressen eller grundläggande rättigheter och friheter väger tyngre. Du kan besöka vår webbplats utan att aktivt lämna uppgifter om dig. Men vi lagrar automatiskt uppgifter (serverloggfiler) varje gång någon går in på webbplatsen. Följande uppgifter lagras: t.ex. namn på din internetleverantör, operativsystem, vilken webbsida du besöker, datum och hur länge ditt besök varat eller namn på begärd fil. Vi lagrar också uppgifter av säkerhetsskäl. T.ex. lagar vi IP-adresser hos den dator som används så att vi kan identifiera angrepp mot våra webbplatser. Dessa uppgifter används enbart för att förbättra våra tjänster och kan inte användas för att skaffa mer information om dig som person. Denna data samkörs inte med andra datakällor. Den rättsliga grunden till databehandling är artikel 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Vi behandlar data för följande ändamål: Denna typ av databehandling görs antingen för att fullgöra ett avtal om användandet av CHG-MERIDIAN AGs webbsida eller därför att vi har ett berättigat intresse av att kunna säkerställa funktionen hos CHF-MERIDIAN AGs webbsidor och att de är felfria och anpassa dem så att de är anpassade till användarnas behov. När användarna har loggat in på kundsidorna i TESMA® behandlas loggfiler som lagras med en användaridentifierare som tilldelas internt. Efter att användaren loggat in på TESMA®, innehåller dessa loggfiler följande uppgifter: användaridentifierare, webbläsarversion, använt operativsystem, datum för besöket och hur länge besöket varade. Vi behandlar uppgifter på detta sätt för att uppfylla vår avtalsenliga förpliktelse gentemot våra kunder och för att kunna erbjuda våra tjänster. Den rättsliga grunden till databehandlingen i detta avseende är artikel 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Vi är också förpliktade att följa anvisningarna i ett personuppgiftsbiträdesavtal och har lämpliga tekniska och organisatoriska resurser till hands för att skydda den registrerades rättigheter. Om du skickar oss förfrågningar eller information via e-post kommer dina uppgifter (e-postadress, innehållet i ditt mail, ämnesraden i ditt mail och datum/tid), samt de kontaktuppgifter du lämnade (t.ex. namnteckning, förnamn, efternamn, telefonnummer i förekommande fall, adress) att lagras för vi ska kunna hantera eventuella förfrågningar och uppföljande frågor. Vi lämnar inte ut dina uppgifter utan ditt medgivande. Den rättsliga grunden till insamlandet och behandlingen av uppgifter är artikel 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Användarna informeras om att dessa e-postmeddelanden kan komma att bli lästa eller ändrade i samband med att de överförs utan att detta godkänns eller upptäcks. CHG-MERIDIAN AG använder en programvara för att filtrera bort oönskade e-postmeddelanden (skräppostfilter). Med skräppostfiltret kan systemet lägga e-postmeddelanden i skräppostmappen ifall vissa bestämda egenskaper får dem att felaktigt identifiera dem som skräppost så att de inte når fram till oss. De uppgifter du lämnar behåller vi tills du begär att de raderas, återkallar ditt medgivande till att vi lagrar uppgifterna eller om det ändamål för vilket vi ursprungligen lagrade uppgifterna inte längre gäller (t.ex. när din förfrågan har slutbehandlats). Tvingande lagregler, i synnerhet rörande om att behålla uppgifterna en viss bestämd tidsperiod påverkas inte av detta. Vi använder kakor (cookies) på våra webbplatser för att göra det till en trevligare upplevelse för alla som besöker våra webbplatser och för att vissa funktioner ska fungera. Kakor är små textfiler som lagras lokalt i webbläsarens cacheminne. Detta är en vanlig teknik på nätet som används för lagring av och tillgänglighet till inloggningsuppgifter och annan användarinformation om alla besökare på CHG-MERIDIAN AGs webbsidor. De gör också att vi kan lagra användarinställningar och att vi kan visa våra webbsidor i ett format som är anpassat efter din utrustning. Användandet av kakor tillgodoser vårt berättigade intresse av att göra så att ditt besök på vår webbplats blir en positiv upplevelse och förhindrar att du lägger in samma information flera gånger eller upprepar ändrar dina inställningar. Den rättsliga grunden för detta är artikel 6 (1) (f) GDPR. En del av de kakor som vi använder raderas efter varje session i webbläsaren, dvs. så snart du stänger din webbläsare (så kallade sessionskakor). Andra kakor finns kvar i din utrustning och gör att vi eller vår samarbetspartner känner igen din webbläsare vid ditt nästa besök på vår webbsida (så kallade beständiga kakor). Du kan ändra inställningarna på din webbläsare så att du får ett meddelande varje gång som kakor läggs in och kan besluta om du vill godkänna dem eller avvisa dem. Dessutom kan du retroaktivt radera kakor som webbplatsen har lagrat på din dator. Om kakor avaktiveras kan det göra att webbplatserna förlorar vissa av sina funktioner. Webbläsarna har funktioner för att begränsa funktionen hos och radera kakor. För mer information om detta, besök nedanstående webbplatser: Du kan välja att registrera dig på vår webbplats.

Dessa uppgifter lagras p.g.a. att detta är det enda sättet på vilket vi kan skydda oss mot missbruk av våra tjänster och därför att de är nödvändiga för att vi ska kunna få information i samband med brott. Dessa uppgifter behöver därför lagras för att skydda våra intressen. Huvudregeln är att dessa uppgifter inte lämnas ut till tredje part såvida vi inte enligt lag är skyldiga att lämna ut dem eller om personuppgifterna ska lämnas ut för upprätthållande av lagar och förordningar. Den rättsliga grunden till behandling är för att fullgöra ett avtal enligt artikel 6 (1) (b) GDPR. På vår webbplats kan du skicka förfrågningar till oss via ett kontaktformulär. Här lagrar vi dina uppgifter från kontaktformuläret (vad ditt ärende gäller, ämnesraden till ditt ärende och datum), samt dina kontaktuppgifter (för- och efternamn och e-postadress), för att vi ska kunna hantera frågan och eventuella följdfrågor. Den rättsliga grunden till qtt vi insamlar och behandar uppgifterna är artikel 6 (1) (a) GDPR. De uppgifter som lämnas av dig via kontaktformuläret behåller vi tills du begär att det raderas, du återkallar ditt medgivande till att vi lagrar dem eller ändamålet för att lagra uppgifterna upphör att gälla (t.ex. sedan din fråga har slutbehandlats). Obligatoriska lagbestämmelser, särskilt om lagringstid, påverkas inte av detta. På våra webbsidor kan du använda våra köpfunktioner.

Din feedback kan komma att göras tillgänglig för webbforumet TESMA. Dina synpunkter kommer att sparas och publiceras med ditt användarnamn och uppgifter om när du lämnade dina synpunkter. Dessutom kommer den registrerades IP-adress som tillhandahålls av serviceleverantören att loggas. När du gör ett inlägg kan du bocka i en ruta för vår e-posttjänst. På så sätt kommer du att få meddelande så snart någon annan kommenterar ditt inlägg. Du kan stänga av dessa aviseringar när som helst genom att klicka på länken i e-postmeddelandet. CHG MERIDIAN AG har vidtagit lämpliga tekniska och organisatoriska åtgärder för att säkerställa en säkerhetsnivå som är lämplig i förhållande till risken. Denna riskanalys omfattar risken att äventyra den registrerades rättigheter, kostnaden för genomförandet samt arten, omfattningen, sammanhanget och ändamålen för behandlingen av personuppgifter. Åtgärderna inkluderar: CHG-MERIDIAN AG tillåter att andra får tillgång till personuppgifter endast om detta är absolut nödvändigt. Tillgången till personuppgifter är begränsad till vad som krävs för att tillgodose relevant ändamål. För att överföring av personuppgifter ska godkännas krävs att det alltid finnas ett ändamål vilket innebär att inga generella godkännanden av överföringar lämnas. Serviceleverantörer kan få tillgång till personuppgifter endast i enlighet det ändamål som anges i avtal med Bolaget. Med överföring till tredje land avses överföring av personuppgifter till ett land utanför Europeiska ekonomiska samarbetsområdet (EES). CHG:s internationella verksamhet innebär att personuppgifter kan överföras till och från andra koncernföretag eller tredje parter som kan vara belägna utanför EES-området. Om personuppgifter överförs till länder som har andra standarder för dataskydd kommer CHG att se till att lämpliga skyddsåtgärder vidtas så att personuppgifterna skyddas på ett adekvat sätt, i enlighet med tillämpliga dataskyddslagar. CHG-MERIDIAN AG har tecknat dataöverföringsavtal baserade på EU:s standardklausuler för överföring av personuppgifter till tredje land. En kopia av dessa avtal kan fås på begäran, vänligen kontakta dataskyddsombudet.

They apply solely to business persons as defined by section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) with whom the Seller enters into a commercial relationship. Any conditions of the Buyer that contradict or deviate from these General Terms and Conditions will not be recognized unless their validity has been explicitly agreed in writing. These Conditions of Sale also apply if the Seller supplies goods and/or services to the Buyer without reservation despite being aware of contradictory or divergent conditions provided by the Buyer. 2.1 All contracts and other agreements and legally binding declarations must be signed by both parties in order to be legally valid. This also applies to any additions and amendments. 2.2 Oral collateral agreements and assurances are not valid. 3.1 Unless the contract of sale specifies otherwise, our prices are quoted net for dispatch from the Seller's address as specified in the contract of sale. The Seller shall package the goods in packaging suitable for transportation. 3.2 Our prices do not include statutory VAT. VAT will be calculated at the rate applicable on the day of invoicing and shown separately on the invoice. VAT is due and payable to the Seller unless the Buyer presents confirmation of export to the Seller. If the Buyer presents the export certificate to the Seller only after payment of VAT, the Seller shall refund the VAT to the Buyer. 4.1 The purchase price is payable immediately via bank transfer and in full. 4.2 The equipment detailed in the contract of sale is sold ex-works (EXW) in accordance with Incoterms 2010 from the Seller's address as stated in the contract of sale. 4.3 The goods will not be dispatched or collected until the entire purchase price amount has been deposited into the Seller's account or until the Seller has received confirmation from the bank executing the transaction that the transfer has been requested and carried out in full. If the Buyer is in default of payment, the Seller reserves the right to charge default interest at the statutory rate. The Seller reserves the right to claim for greater losses as a result of the default if they can be shown to have occurred. The rights afforded by clause 8 remain unaffected. The Seller reserves the right to make additional claims. 4.4 The Seller will state in the contract of sale the date on which the equipment will be available for collection (availability date). If the Buyer delays in taking receipt of the goods or is in culpable breach of other obligations to cooperate, the Seller reserves the right to invoke clause 8. The Seller reserves the right to make additional claims. 4.5 If requested by the Buyer, the Seller can – at the Buyer's expense – send the equipment to an address specified by the Buyer, although it is not obliged to do so. 4.6 The Buyer is only entitled to exercise a right of set-off if its counterclaims have been confirmed by a non-appealable court decision or are uncontested or are recognized by the Seller. The Buyer is entitled to exercise withholding rights only in respect of receivables arising from the same legal relationship that are uncontested or have been confirmed by a non-appealable court decision. The Seller is entitled to make partial deliveries, but will only do so if payment is received in advance. 6.1 For deliveries made from the Federal Republic of Germany to other countries within the European Community (intra-Community deliveries) the Seller will not add VAT to the amount charged to the Buyer insofar as the deliveries are exempt from VAT under the German Value Added Tax Act. The Buyer shall at the Seller's request provide proofs of delivery and other documents required under German VAT law as proof of exemption from VAT. The Buyer shall in particular confirm to the Seller upon first request the receipt or arrival of the goods in the area of the EC outside of Germany (confirmation of arrival) as proof that a tax-exempt intra-Community delivery has taken place. The entry certificate will be produced by the Seller and made available to the Buyer who will inspect it and confirm to the Seller that it is correct for every delivery. 6.2 The Buyer shall without being requested to do so inform the Seller of its VAT registration number and any changes to it and shall provide the Seller with information regarding its capacity as business person, the transportation of the delivered goods, the use to which they will be put, and the Buyer's duty to report statistics. 6.3 If the Buyer fails to provide some or all of the necessary information/documents described in clauses 6.1 and 6.2 it will be liable for any resulting losses, expenses and costs incurred by the Seller, especially German VAT and any additional charges. 6.4 The Seller will not be liable for the consequences of the Buyer failing to supply details or supplying incomplete or incorrect details except in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of the Seller. 7.1 The Buyer is responsible for obtaining any necessary export licenses unless the Seller is required to do so by statute or by a final, non-appealable administrative decision or court ruling. If the Seller is responsible for obtaining the license(s), the Buyer shall provide whatever assistance is necessary for this purpose. 7.2 The Buyer gives an assurance that it will neither directly nor indirectly export or re-export the goods acquired from the Seller to persons, organizations, institutions, or countries against whom an embargo in respect of such goods has been imposed by Germany's Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) and the European Union and is currently in force. 8.1 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the following instances without prejudice to any of its other rights: a) If the Buyer does not pay the purchase price within three days of the availability date specified in the contract of sale or if within three days no bank confirmation of a completed payment transfer has been provided. b) If the circumstances provided for in clause 4.4 apply and the Buyer has not taken full receipt of the goods within seven days of the availability date specified in the contract of sale. c) If the Buyer acts contrary to the assurance provided in 7.2 or is in breach of its obligation to cooperate as per 7.1 sentence 2. 8.2 The Buyer shall compensate the Seller for any loss incurred, including, but not limited to, any profit lost, as a result of the equipment being sold at a lower purchase price. The Buyer shall furthermore be liable for the costs of storing the equipment until such time as it is remarketed and collected, these costs to be charged at the rate of €1.00 per day per pallet plus a one-off administration charge of €75.00 per order. If the Buyer fails to collect the equipment, the same storage costs will be charged to the Buyer until it is collected. 8.3 The Buyer reserves the right to produce proof of lesser loss. Risk passes to the Buyer when the object of purchase is collected or, in the circumstances provided for in clause 4.5, transferred to the haulage operator. Insofar as the circumstances described in clause 4.4 apply, the risk of accidental destruction or accidental deterioration of the object of purchase will pass to the Buyer as soon as it defaults on acceptance of or payment for the object of purchase. The Buyer is liable for all transport-related costs and risks from the moment of the transfer of risk. These costs include, but are not limited to, transport costs, customs and excise duties, taxes and other public charges, costs for customs formalities for import and export, insurance, and costs for loss, damage, delays, etc. 10.1 The goods being sold are used equipment for which no warranty is provided. The Seller provides no guarantees of quality or durability other than those provided for under clause 10.2 in conjunction with the contract of sale. The Seller assumes no liability for the compatibility of the various equipment and components with one another. This also applies to the supplied equipment's compatibility with customers' existing IT equipment. 10.2 The Seller guarantees that the equipment explicitly described as Type A or Type B will meet the following description. Type A equipment: the Seller guarantees that the used equipment will be free of visual and technical defects, subject to normal wear and tear, for the period specified in the contract of sale. For Type B equipment: the Seller guarantees that used equipment with visual/cosmetic defects that do not affect the performance of the equipment will be free of technical defects for the period specified in the contract of sale. If any of the equipment fails to meet the terms of these guarantees, the Buyer will, for the period specified in the contract of sale, be entitled to return the equipment to the Seller. The guarantee period begins on the day the equipment is collected by the Buyer or the date of dispatch. 10.3 All claims under the guarantee must be made in writing by completing the RMA form, and are made at the Buyer's expense. The RMA form can be sent on request or downloaded as a PDF file from the Seller's website (www.chg-meridian.de). 10.4 The Seller's guarantee as per 10.2 excludes all batteries and consumables. 10.5 Software, manuals, PC accessories such as notebook cases, keyboards, cables, and mice, and technical support services are not included unless explicitly specified in the contract of sale. If software is included in the order, the Buyer will be granted usage rights to it. Any copying, transfer, or resale of the software requires the permission or prior authorization of the rights holder. The Buyer undertakes in particular to be aware of and adhere to MICROSOFT's usage and licensing conditions. The Buyer will be liable in full for any loss or damage incurred through a breach of these usage rights. 10.6 The data on the equipment will be deleted before the sale. If the Buyer unexpectedly detects data on the equipment, it is his obligation to inform the Seller immediately and either delete the data securely himself and at his own expense or in consultation with the Seller provide the Seller with the relevant equipment for data erasure. 11.1 The Seller will be liable in accordance with statutory provisions for claims for compensation brought by the Buyer on the grounds of intent or gross negligence, including the intent or gross negligence of the Seller's agents or representatives. Insofar as the Seller is not accused of deliberate breach of contract, liability for damages will be limited to foreseeable and typical loss. 11.2 Liability for loss arising from death or bodily harm, where fault exists on the part of the Seller, remains unaffected. Mandatory liability under the terms of the German Product Liability Act also remains unaffected. The Seller shall also be liable under other statutory provisions if it is culpably in breach of a material contractual obligation, although in such a case liability for damages is limited to typical and foreseeable loss. 11.3 Any liability for damages that exceeds that provided for in clauses 11.1 and 11. 2 is hereby excluded, regardless of the legal grounds on which the claim is brought. This shall especially apply to claims for damages arising from culpa in contrahendo or from other derelictions of duty, or tortious claims for compensation for damage to property. 11.4 The exclusion or limitation of the Seller's liability to the Buyer for damages shall also apply to the personal liability of the Seller's employees, staff, representatives, and agents. 11.5 The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer for any failure to perform the contract or for any default where the failure or default are caused by natural disasters, fire, flood, acts of war, strikes, industrial disputes, non-delivery or late delivery of accessories, or state or official interventions or regulations. The Seller retains ownership of the object of sale until receipt of all payments arising from the business relationship with the Buyer. 13.1 These terms of business and all legal relations arising between the Seller and the Buyer are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) will not apply in any circumstances. 13.2 If the Buyer is a general merchant (Vollkaufmann) as defined by German Commercial Code (HGB) or a legal entity incorporated under public law or a special-purpose entity organized under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes will be Ravensburg, Germany. The same place of jurisdiction applies if the Buyer does not have a general place of jurisdiction within the Federal Republic of Germany or its domicile or usual place of residence is moved abroad after the contract has been formed or is unknown at the time of the institution of proceedings. This does not affect the Seller's right to bring a claim against the Buyer in the court of the Buyer's place of residence. 13.3 The place of performance is Gross-Gerau, Germany. 13.4 Should individual provisions of these Terms of Business or of other agreements be or become partly or wholly invalid, this will not affect the validity of the other provisions or agreements. The same applies in the event of a gap in the contract. In the place of the invalid provisions, agreements or gaps, an appropriate provision shall be substituted that shall insofar as possible in law reflect what the parties intended or would have intended had they been aware of the invalidity or gap.    EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h2|Sales Conditions CHG-MERIDIAN AG'S GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE h3|Choose your region 1.

Och historien fortsätter. Jürgen Gelf grundar företaget CHG Computer-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH i den lilla orten Berg, 5 km norr om Ravensburg. CHG hjälper sina kunder att migrera från stordatorer till decentraliserade servrar och datorer. Genom en kombination av organisk tillväxt och förvärv utökas verksamheten till att omfatta hela Tyskland. Företaget har expanderat internationellt sedan år 2000. CHG MERIDIAN börjar erbjuda asset management-tjänster till industri- och vårdsektorn. CHG MERIDIAN blir det första företaget i Tyskland som erhåller certifiering från TÜV för sina metoder för säker dataradering. CHG MERIDIAN erbjuder sina kunder en standardiserad, miljövänlig och hållbar tjänst för återanvändning av begagnad IT-hårdvara, inriktad på remarketing. CHG MERIDIAN bedriver verksamhet i 25 länder världen över. Genom konceptet "den moderna arbetsplatsen" banar CHG MERIDIAN väg för det papperslösa kontoret och digitalisering av såväl interna som externa processer. År 1979 började programmeraren Jürgen Gelf sälja begagnade stordatorer. Tack vare sina ingående kunskaper om datorer och marknaden lyckades han snabbt omsätta produkterna och började snart även erbjuda kunderna att leasa dem. Vid den här tiden var leasing ett förhållandevis nytt koncept i Tyskland, men det blev snart CHG:s kärnverksamhet. I slutet av 1980-talet genomgick datorbranschen ett teknikskifte: stordatorer började ersättas av persondatorer. CHG anpassade verksamheten till de nya kraven och hjälpte kunderna med övergången till den nya tekniken. Jürgen Mossakowski tillsattes som CEO och under åren som följde utökade företaget sitt utbud och började erbjuda konsulttjänster och servicetjänster, bland annat installations- och underhållstjänster. I mitten av 1990-talet växte CHG snabbt genom flera förvärv. Företaget omstrukturerades, bytte namn till CHG-MERIDIAN AG och utvecklades från att vara en regional leverantör till att bli rikstäckande med hela Tyskland som marknad. År 2000 inleddes företagets internationella expansion och dotterbolag etablerades i Storbritannien och Österrike. I snabb takt öppnades sedan dotterbolag i USA, Irland, Frankrike, Belgien, Schweiz, Italien, Spanien, Ryssland, Sverige, Norge och Danmark. År 2018 öppnade CHG-MERIDIAN kontor i Australien och Nya Zeeland och koncernen bedriver nu verksamhet i 25 länder. År 2004 utökades koncernens verksamhet, som tidigare varit fokuserad på IT-sektorn, till att även omfatta medicinsk utrustning och produktionsutrustning inom industrin – till exempel monteringslinjer för biltillverkning. Efter mer än 18 år som CEO väljs Jürgen Mossakowski år 2017 in i koncernens styrelse. Han efterträds av Dr. Mathias Wagner. Frank Kottman ansvarar för koncernens globala försäljningsaktiviteter. Oliver Schorer ansvarar för den nyligen inrättade avdelningen IT och tjänster, och Ulrich Bergmann är CFO. Jürgen Gelf grundade CHG Computer-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH den 2 mars, 1979. År 1982 bytte företaget namn till "CHG Computer Leasing- und Handels-Gesellschaft mbH", och "Handels-Gesellschaft" ströks helt från namnet 1992 när företaget blev "CHG Computer Leasing GmbH". Efter förvärvet av det Wiesbaden-baserade företaget FGM-MERIDIAN år 1996 fusionerades de två företagen och antog namnet till CHG-MERIDIAN Computer Leasing Gesellschaft mbH, som ett år senare blev CHG-MERIDIAN Deutsche Computer Leasing AG. Sedan 2012 har företagets namn varit CHG‑MERIDIAN AG. År 1999 lanserade CHG‑MERIDIAN sitt första egenutvecklade asset management-system. 2004 utökades systemet och fick namnet TESMA® Online. TESMA® står för "technology and service management" och är ett webbaserat verktyg för planering och administration av teknisk utrustning. Den senaste versionen av TESMA® lanserades 2016. CHG-MERIDIANs ursprungliga affärsidé var att återanvända begagnade datorer. Med tanke på den stora ökningen av antalet datorer sedan 1990-talet har denna idé fått allt större betydelse. År 2000 öppnade CHG-MERIDIAN ett eget mäklar- och logistikcenter i Mörfelden söder om Frankfurt. Här renoverar CHG-MERIDIAN teknisk utrustning som tidigare leasats ut och säljer den vidare. År 2010 flyttades teknik- och servicecentret till Gross-Gerau och 2013 öppnades ytterligare ett center i Skien i Norge. Båda dessa avdelningar är specialiserade på radering av data, även känslig sådan, och metoden som används är certifierad. Sedan 2014 har CHG-MERIDIAN erbjudit sina kunder en standardiserad, miljövänlig och hållbar tjänst för återanvändning av begagnad IT-hårdvara, inriktad på remarketing. Den lilla verksamhet som började i ett rum i Jurgen Gelfs hem har med åren utvecklats till en global koncern med ett imponerande huvudkontor. År 2003 flyttade CHG-MERIDIAN i den nya byggnaden som ligger i Weingarten nära Ravensburg. Här finns kontorsplatser för 270 medarbetare. En utbyggnad med ytterligare 250 arbetsplatser invigdes i maj 2016. Att utvecklas och växa med uppgiften är en del av vårt DNA – och vi gör det tillsammans med våra kunder. Men vi glömmer aldrig vårt ursprung och vart vi är på väg.             Nya utrymmen  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|HUR ALLT BÖRJADE h2|Kontinuerlig tillväxt sedan 1979 CHG-MERIDIAN skapar nytt rum för ytterligare tillväxt h3|Choose your region Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h4|1979 FÖRETAGET GRUNDAS 1992 TEKNIKSKIFTE 1994 EXPANSIONSSTRATEGI 2004 NYA TEKNIKOMRÅDEN 2006 TÜV-CERTIFIERING 2014 ÅTERANVÄNDNINGSTJÄNSTEN LANSERAS 2018 GLOBAL EXPANSION MED INRIKTNING MOT DIGITALISERING OCH TJÄNSTER Vårt namn: CHG-MERIDIAN Kärnkompetens: tjänster och teknik Från begagnadmarknad till ett standardiserat återanvändningskoncept Ett växande företag h6|VÅR HISTORIA sp|                                  Image 1 / 9 Image 2 / 9 Image 3 / 9 Image 4 / 9 Image 5 / 9 Image 6 / 9 Image 7 / 9 Image 8 / 9 Image 9 / 9 pa|Teknikinvesteringar, finansiering, hållbarhet, IT-säkerhet... Att fatta rätt beslut när det gäller inköp och hantering av IT-utrustning kan kännas krångligt och väcker säkert flera frågor. Här kan du fördjupa dig inom allt som innefattar IT, cirkulär ekonomi, branchtrender samt ta del av nyheter om CHG-MERIDIAN. Corona-krisen har blottat brister i företagens digitala omvandling då de ställts inför utmaningen att möjliggöra mobila arbetsplatser från en dag till den andra. Det är nu tydligt att se vad mer som måste göras för att optimera den digitala arbetsplatsen hos företagen. Att arbeta på distans är nu ett hett ämne. Men vad behöver du göra för att dina anställda ska kunna arbeta på distans utan problem? Läs vidare för att ta reda på hur vi på CHG-MERIDIAN implementerade den digitala arbetsplatsen och vilka element som var nyckeln till detta. För att implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen framgångsrikt och optimera den på lång sikt tror vi att det finns tre faktorer som lyckat distansarbete är beroende av: tekniken, plattformen och de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Ta reda på vad den teknologiska faktorn handlar om här. Dataplattformar tillåter oss att organisera och strukturera översvämningen av digital information på ett förnuftigt sätt när vi arbetar på distans. De gör det också möjligt för oss att arbeta i virtuella team över gränserna. Vart vi än befinner oss. Ta reda på vad dataplattformar handlar om. Många företag kämpar med att införa en digital arbetsplats. Tekniken och processerna som används är ofta avancerade – och det blir tydligt hur viktigt det är att få de anställda ombord när det gäller en digital arbetskultur. Följande artikel belyser den nyckelroll som de anställda spelar i alla digitaliseringsstrategier. Vårt samhälle har levt bortom sina resurser i årtionden. Huruvida coronapandemin kommer att övertala oss att använda resurser mer ansvarsfullt och gå bort från det linjära systemet beror till viss del på hur kostnadseffektiva alternativen är. Datorprestanda, digitala plattformar, mjukvara och applikationer kan redan köpas in som tjänster - så varför inte komplettera med hela arbetsplatsen? Upptäck vilka fördelar arbetsplatsen som en tjänst (WaaS) kan ha för ditt företag. Många IT-avdelningar kick på knäna i mitten av mars 2020, då hela arbetskraften plötsligt behövde börja arbeta hemifrån. Sedan dess har det blivit klart att detta inte är en tillfällig omställning med tillfälliga lösningar, utan början på en längre resa - även när det gäller teknik. Smartphones and laptops have already become the norm at home. Yet many people find themselves stuck in an analog world at work, despite the fact that setting up a digital workplace is not that difficult with a little preparation and planning. Don't run any unnecessary risks when it comes to remarketing or disposing of decommissioned IT equipment. Find out how cost-effective and permanent data erasure works. Computing power, platforms, and software can already be acquired as a service, so why not complete workplace IT? Discover the benefits that workplace as a service (WaaS) can have for your company. “We regard the digital workplace as a holistic system that adds significant value in all areas of your company that work with IT.” Lukas Wojoczek, Digital Workplace Sales Det är nästan omöjligt att beräkna de totala kostnaderna för IT för en enda arbetsplats med hjälp av konventionella upphandlings- och användningsmodeller. Men de senaste digitala arbetsplatskoncepten kan hjälpa er med att ge transparens. If you are planning a new IT infrastructure, the first question you will ask yourself, as the CFO, is whether the investment will pay off. Technical and commercial management need to work hand in hand if companies are to benefit from the digital workplace too. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. Below, we showcase four viewpoints on e-health and examine the extent to which they share a common goal. We will show you how the right strategy can increase your efficiency and make the Digital Workplace the core of your digitization strategy. We show you how the latest technology can help you to use your working time most effectively. A study shows that the majority of employees want to take advantage of mobile working, but companies are yet to catch on to this trend. With great team spirit, they really hustled to collect donations for charitable causes in 2018. Florian Orth, livscykelexpert på CHG-MERIDIAN, tipsar om hur ett företag kan nå större flexibilitet och lägre totala ägandekostnader (TCO) vid tillverkning. Frank Schöneberg, Head of Public Sector Sales Germany at CHG-MERIDIAN, expands on his many years of experience working with public-sector clients. Peter Krause, Head of Healthcare Sector Sales Germany at CHG-MERIDIAN, talks about data protection in the healthcare sector and the requirements for data erasure. Joachim Schulz presents five factors that are crucial in overcoming these obstacles. Oliver Schorer speaks about digital transformation and how companies can deliver it successfully. Digitalization is a leading topic of discussion in the public sector. But what might modernization and digital transformation measures actually look like in practice? Corporate social responsibility is firmly enshrined in CHG-MERIDIAN’s corporate philosophy. CHG-MERIDIAN is growing fast – and is doing so around the world. We are always on the lookout for ambitious individuals to join us. Data protection should be viewed as part of an end-to-end solution, not in isolation. Dr. Mathias Wagner, Chairman of the Board of Management of CHG-MERIDIAN, looks back on 2017 and gives an optimistic outlook for the future. Declan McGlone, Vice President Finance UK/Ireland, talks in an interview about business development in the UK and Ireland Being able to reliably protect sensitive company data at the end of an asset’s useful life is vital in the digital era. Why the financing must match the business, and not vice versa Everyone is talking about data protection at the moment. It is a particularly important issue when it comes to modern printers, MFPs, and copiers. An illustrative calculation from the automotive industry for pay-per-use models How intelligent financing models can satisfy wide-ranging interests Oliver Schorer (CIO) shows five areas that German companies need to consider. Using pay-per-patient models to manage investment risks in healthcare technology We will show you how to implement innovative projects cost-effectively. Why the CIO and CFO are stuck in the same boat when it comes to TCO calculations, and how only an independent expert can help. How pay-per-patient models can help to preserve liquidity Every company is familiar with unit cost accounting. Why financing per item makes sense too. The digital revolution is only slowly taking hold in German society. Nevertheless, there is already an urgent need for companies to invest. IT procurement is different from purchasing consumables. Ralf Behrning clarifies what really matters. Companies are not yet enabling them to participate sufficiently in the digital revolution. A lot of potential remains untapped. CHG-MERIDIAN's employees apply themselves with as much vigor to good causes as they do to their work. Oliver Schorer, (CIO) and member of the Board of Management at CHG-MERIDIAN, talks about customized and fully automated business concepts As an innovative technology manager with decades of experience, CHG-MERIDIAN creates maximum cost transparency, identifies potential savings – and achieves these savings. By taking out a €75 million bonded loan in August 2017, CHG-MERIDIAN has successfully completed its fifth transaction in this segment since 2013. Peter Krause, talks about the importance of well-interlinked medical technology and IT and explains how they can be used to achieve high patient satisfaction in spite of economic challenges. In our latest white paper, we demonstrate how hospitals can deliver the digital transformation toward Health 4.0 through long-term investment in technology and employees, and remain well equipped to face the challenges of the future. This is what gives you the reassurance that your investment will really pay off over the course of a project. We will show you where you have potential savings and how you can achieve these savings. We will show you which financing model is the best fit for your capital expenditure project. As an independent provider with decades of experience financing entire projects, CHG-MERIDIAN is familiar with global taxation and legal systems. We will show you what financing hurdles to look out for.   Insikter Här kan du fördjupa dig inom allt som innefattar IT, cirkulär ekonomi, branchtrender samt ta del av nyheter om CHG-MERIDIAN li|menu not loaded h1|Nyheter och artiklar h2|Nyheter och Artiklar h3|Choose your region Hur coronaviruset påskyndar digitaliseringen DEN DIGITALA ARBETSPLATSEN PÅ CHG-MERIDIAN Distansarbete i sin enkelhet: Teknologiska faktorn Distansarbete i sin enkelhet: Den digitala plattformen Distansarbete i sin enkelhet: Rätt mindset Ett meddelande till näringslivet Dags att överväga leasing istället för att köpa?

Vi ser oss själva som en del av samhället och vi spelar en aktiv roll genom samhällsprojekt och initiativ i regionen. På CHG-MERIDIAN inser vi att endast hållbara affärsmodeller kan vara framgångsrika på lång sikt. Det handlar om att gå bort från en linjär ekonomisk modell där produkter tillverkas, används och sedan kasseras och mot en cirkulär modell som fokuserar på reparation och återanvändning. Det är därför vi betraktar end-to-end livscykelhantering som en av vår tids största utmaningar - och som kärnan i vårt företag. Resursbrist och klimatförändringar är viktiga ämnen i vårt samhälle, och de tvingar företag att ta nya tillvägagångssätt. Samhällets övergång till en cirkulär ekonomi är resultatet av en försenad tänkesändring. På CHG-MERIDIAN är detta sätt att tänka fast i vår affärsmodell och har format våra handlingar i årtionden. Vi stöder våra kunder under hela livscykeln för deras tekniska utrustning, från finansiering och användning till certifierad dataradering, renovering och remarketing. Vi har renoverat begagnad utrustning i våra teknikcenter de senaste 20 åren. Enheter genomgår visuell och teknisk renovering i linje med principerna för grön IT. Vi har också ett globalt nätverk av certifierade renoveringspartners som renoverar utrustning lokalt enligt högsta standard. Vi är stolta över vår renoveringsgrad på 95 procent. Men hur är det med resten? All utrustning som inte kan återanvändas återförs hållbart till materialcykeln genom våra certifierade återvinningspartner. Att göra en certifierad dataradering av begagnad utrustning är viktigt om den ska återanvändas inom den cirkulära ekonomin. Hos oss börjar datasäkerhet med att välja utrustning och klassificera säkerhetsnivåer. Oavsett om det är SSD, hybrid- eller flashminne i bärbara datorer, surfplattor, smartphones eller till och med skrivare, kopiatorer och multifunktionsenheter, erbjuder CHG-MERIDIAN en exakt och kostnadseffektiv raderingslösning. Detta säkerställer att data skyddas när utrustning återanvänds. Genom att professionellt renovera och återmarknadsföra IT-utrustning kan vi förlänga livslängden på begagnad utrustning. Vi har också ett internationellt nätverk av certifierade partners. År 2019 såldes hela 697 000 enheter vidare på andrahandsmarknaden. Var och en gör skillnad och sparar värdefulla resurser. Tillsammans med åtgärder för att undvika och minska CO₂-utsläpp, är kompensation ett viktigt steg som gör det möjligt för företag att arbeta på ett mer hållbart sätt och bidra positivt till att begränsa klimatförändringar. Tack vare carbonZER0, vår nya utökade finansieringslösning, kan våra kunder betala för att kompensera för alla CO₂-utsläpp som deras IT-utrustning genererar. Detta finansieringsalternativ är tillgängligt internationellt, och de pengar som genereras används för att finansiera certifierade projekt som syftar till att motverka klimatförändringar. Den månatliga leasingavgiften ökar endast marginellt. En helhetssyn på livscykler gör det möjligt att ompröva traditionella affärsmodeller och upphandlingsprocesser när det gäller hållbarhet. Vår certifierade eraSURE-dataradering förbereder utrustning för återanvändning genom att återställa den till sitt ursprungliga tillstånd. Genom att renovera begagnad utrustning ger vi ett påvisbart bidrag till att bevara naturresurser. Vår omfattande remarketingupplevelse gör att vi kan öka livslängden för teknisk utrustning och förbereda den för hållbar återanvändning.         EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|Hållbarhet h2|Hållbar teknikhantering som en kärnfokus Principerna för cirkulär ekonomi i vår affärsmodell carbonzero Vad vi står för h3|Choose your region Livscykelhantering Teknisk renovering av begagnad utrustning Säker dataradering Remarketing Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h4|Ompröva Återställ Bevara Förläng sp|                                 pa|Att införskaffa den senaste hälso- och sjukvårdstekniken medför ofta höga kostnader. CHG-MERIDIAN kan hjälpa er att fatta rätt beslut i samband med teknikinvesteringar. Att få budgeten att räcka till när behovet av ny medicinsk utrustning ökar är något som många vårdgivare brottas med. Vårt mål på CHG-MERIDIAN är att hjälpa våra kunder att införskaffa dagens sjukvårdsteknik genom att utnyttja morgondagens budget. Med hjälp av vår erfarenhet och våra expertkunskaper kan vi hjälpa er att finansiera den utrustning ni behöver. Våra flexibla finansiella lösningar är kärnan i allt vi gör, men vi är mycket mer än bara ett finansbolag. Vi sätter oss in i er verksamhet och era specifika utmaningar, så att vi kan erbjuda en paketlösning som omfattar utrustningens hela livscykel. VÅRA TJÄNSTER Vi är helt oberoende och ägs varken av tillverkare eller banker. Därför kan vi ge er opartiska råd och hjälpa er att hitta den bästa lösningen utifrån era förutsättningar. Ni behåller kontrollen och kan fritt välja utrustning från olika tillverkare, även i kombination. Med över 40 års erfarenhet av tekniska investeringar har vi lärt oss en hel del. Under de tusentals samarbetsprojekt vi medverkat i har vi samlat på oss värdefulla kunskaper som kommer alla våra kunder tillgodo. Våra avtal är utformade på ett sätt som ger er full kontroll och överblick. Vår prismodell ger er fasta kostnader, 0% oförutsedda kostnader och flera förmånliga alternativ när avtalstiden löpt ut. Tillsammans med er tar vi fram den bästa lösningen för er verksamhet. Vi arbetar enligt ISO:s kvalitetsstandarder, är medlemmar i Finance and Leasing Association och har över 40 års erfarenhet av leasing och asset management. Genom att kombinera vår finansiella och tekniska kompetens skapar vi mervärden för våra kunder. Vi har avdelningar i 25 länder i fyra världsdelar: Europa, Nordamerika, Sydamerika och Oceanien. Därför kan vi erbjuda samlade tjänste- och leveransavtal som omfattar verksamheter på flera olika geografiska platser. Vi erbjuder en enda kontaktpunkt för alla era ärenden och hjälper er att hitta den bästa lösningen, oavsett om det handlar om inköp av utrustning, driftsättning, remarketing eller dataradering. Vi erbjuder flexibla finansieringslösningar, effektiv support och ett asset managent-system som ger mätbara mervärden under den tekniska utrustningens hela livslängd. Tillsammans med er tar vi fram en prismodell som är anpassad till era behov. Några av alternativen är operationell leasing, finansiell leasing, sale and leaseback, uppskjuten betalning och användningsbaserad betalning. Vi hjälper er också att anpassa investeringsvolymerna till era kommersiella mål (ROI, budget, TCO) och er redovisningsstandard (till exempel IFRS). Operationell leasing är ett populärt alternativ bland våra kunder och är i princip ett hyresavtal. Leasingperioden är kort jämfört med utrustningens livslängd, vilket innebär att restvärdet beräknas utifrån att summan av de löpande leasingavgifterna vanligtvis blir lägre än den ursprungliga kapitalkostnaden. Frigör kapital som är bundet i befintlig utrustning. Sale och leaseback är en modell som innebär att du säljer befintlig utrustning och hyr tillbaka den genom operationell- eller finansiell leasing. Med denna modell betalas den medicinska utrustning per användningstillfälle. Beloppet beräknas genom att ”hyreskostnaden” delas med ett förutbestämt minsta antal användningstillfällen. Skaffa utrustningen idag och skjut upp betalningen till nästa år. Ett bra alternativ för kunder som har ett akut behov av utrustning men inte har utrymme för inköpet i årets budget. Om utrustningens tekniska livslängd överskridits erbjuder vi dig valet att returnera, uppgradera eller fortsätta att använda den. Vi ser till att utrustningen avinstalleras på rätt sätt och bortforslas. Utrustning som inte kan säljas eller återanvändas kasseras på ett miljövänligt sätt, enligt WEEE:s standarder. Our lifecycle model illustrates how CHG-MERIDIAN successfully supports you in every phase of your technology project. Vi är inte bundna till någon viss bank, tillverkare eller leverantör, och kan därför erbjuda flexibla och heltäckande lösningar. Tack vare att vi är helt oberoende kan vi också ge våra kunder anpassad och opartisk rådgivning utifrån deras unika förutsättningar.

Våra kundanpassade tjänster omfattar alla aspekter av produktionen, från produktionsanläggningar och tillverkningsutrustning, till lagersystem, lagertruckar, robotar och automation. Vi stödjer er hela vägen, från inköp och drift till remarketing. Fördelen för er som kund är minskade kostnader och ökad flexibilitet. Är kostnaderna för lagertruckar i högsta laget? Tar administrationen av dem onödigt mycket tid i anspråk? Skulle du vilja ha en bättre översikt över företagets maskinpark i olika länder? Vad sägs om att få avkastning direkt, från första producerade enhet? Eller att snabbt kunna anpassa produktionen till rådande efterfrågan på marknaden? Behöver logistikverksamheten på företaget effektiviseras? Eller kostnaderna i högre grad anpassas till resursutnyttjandet? Vi erbjuder tekniska lösningar som är skräddarsydda efter era behov och stödjer er under utrustningens hela livscykel utan att ni behöver binda er till en viss tillverkare eller bank. Våra industrikonsulter har många års erfarenhet av att analysera totalkostnader och hitta potentiella besparingar. Vi hjälper er att ta fram ett bra beslutsunderlag inför investeringen och ser till att utrustningen utnyttjas optimalt i den dagliga driften. Med hjälp av den senaste sensortekniken kan truckar, produktionsutrustning och logistikutrustning övervakas och optimeras kontinuerligt, oavsett tillverkare. Beroende på typen av utrustning kan detta ge besparingar på upp till 50 procent. Har ni en internationell verksamhet där det vore önskvärt att kunna utnyttja maskinparken på ett mer flexibelt sätt? Vore det önskvärt att ha olika avtalsvillkor för olika utrustning? Eller att kunna anpassa leasingbetalningarna efter produktionstakten? Våra anpassade tjänster ger er en mängd fördelar och möjliggör en mer flexibel användning av er utrustning. Vi erbjuder ett brett utbud av leasingtjänster, med förmånliga alternativ för tidigareläggande av återlämning av utrustning och flexibla avtal så att ni kan anpassa användningen av maskiner och utrustning till rörelsekostnaderna och aktuell produktion. Har ni utrustning, maskiner och fordon från flera olika leverantörer? Har ni verksamhet i flera länder? Då vet du hur svårt det kan vara att administrera maskinparken. CHG‑MERIDIAN har utvecklat ett webbaserat Asset Management-system för planering och administration av teknisk utrustning som vi kallar TESMA®. Verktyget ger er total överblick över all teknisk utrustning under hela dess livslängd. Med all information samlad på ett ställe kan ni enkelt följa upp utrustningen och allokera kostnader till rätt kostnadsställe. Våra specialister står till er tjänst om ni har frågor eller önskar mer information.

Våra tjänster ger er maximal flexibilitet i den dagliga verksamheten. Ni kan till exempel anpassa leasingbetalningarna efter aktuell produktionskapacitet, eller öka antalet lagertruckar om det skulle behövas under en period. Ni kan till och med flytta leasade fordon mellan olika anläggningar. När utrustningen börjar nå sin livslängd hjälper vi till med teknikskiftet och kan även sälja er gamla utrustning vidare.

Tack vare carbonZER0 kan produktion, transport och hela livscykeln för din finansierade IT-utrustning nu bli koldioxidneutral. Företagsdatorer, smartphones och servrar genererar tonvis med utsläpp av växthusgaser, där huvuddelen av dessa utsläpp genereras under produktionen. Det är därför CHG-MERIDIAN i över 40 år har erbjudit remarketingtjänster baserade på professionell rekonditionering och hållbar återanvändning av begagnade IT-enheter, i enlighet med den cirkulära ekonomins principer. Med carbonZER0 tar vi detta ett steg längre. För första gången kan våra kunder kompensera för den CO₂ som genereras i alla steg – produktion, transport, användning och avveckling – av deras leasade IT-utrustning. Tillsammans med åtgärder för att undvika och minska CO₂-utsläpp, är kompensation ett viktigt steg som gör det möjligt för företag att arbeta på ett mer hållbart sätt och bidra positivt till att begränsa klimatförändringar. Tack vare carbonZER0, vår nya utökade finansieringslösning, kan våra kunder betala för att kompensera för alla CO₂-utsläpp som deras IT-utrustning genererar. Detta finansieringsalternativ är tillgängligt internationellt, och de pengar som genereras används för att finansiera certifierade projekt som syftar till att motverka klimatförändringar. Den månatliga leasingavgiften ökar endast marginellt. Till exempel är kostnaden för att göra en smartphone koldioxidneutral bara några ören. Att lägga till carbonZER0 i finansieringslösningen kräver ingen extra tid eller arbetsinsats från kundernas sida. Vi tillhandahåller ett komplett paket som b.la. inkluderar godkända utsläppscertifikat och beräkning av CO₂-utsläpp enligt en TÜV-certifierad metod för produktstandarder. Beräkningen tar hänsyn till produktion, transport och mängden el som förbrukas under IT-utrustningens livscykel, samt scenarier för IT-utrustningens avveckling. Vi tar också hänsyn till eventuella skillnader relaterade till enhetstyp och tillverkare genom att lägga till ett procentuellt påslag. När beräkningen har slutförts kompenseras de växthusgaser som genererats. Detta kan göras på olika sätt, antingen genom att köpa certifikat på frivilliga koldioxidmarknader eller genom att direkt investera i projekt som begränsar klimatförändringar. Att välja, och regelbundet granska, dessa är ett viktigt steg. Genom carbonZER0 stödjer CHG-MERIDIAN internationellt erkända, certifierade projekt som syftar till att begränsa klimatförändringar. Alla dessa projekt säkerställer hållbar utveckling på en ekonomisk, social och miljömässig nivå i respektive land. Detta sker i linje med . I gengäld får kunden ett certifikat som bevis på mängden CO₂-utsläpp som sparats. Detta garanterar att besparingarna endast används en gång för att kompensera CO₂. De tillhörande certifikaten avregistreras därefter i de officiella registren. Kunder som har valt carbonZER0-alternativet stödjer för närvarande solenergiproduktion i norra Namibia, inklusive tillhandahållande av medicinsk vård på plats och utbyggnad av lokala skolor. I södra Sulawesi finansierar pengarna från våra kunders koldioxidkompensation ett vindkraftsprojekt i Jeneponto och i södra Sri Lanka finansieras ett vattenkraftverk som kommer tillhandahålla koldioxidneutral kraft till ön. Eftersom skogar är några av jordens viktigaste kolsänkor stödjer carbonZER0 också skyddet av ett 100 000 hektar stort skogsområde i Madre de Dios-regionen i Peru. Bara detta projekt sparar i genomsnitt 660 000 ton CO₂ varje år. Våra projekt för begränsning av klimatförändringar uppfyller internationellt godkända standarder. För att bevisa att kriterierna uppfylls, kontrolleras och certifieras projekten enligt olika standarder, inklusive: , , och . Detta säkerställer - och kontrolleras regelbundet - att projekten är effektiva när det gäller att motverka klimatförändringar. "Våra kunder kan enkelt lägga till tjänsten i sin befintliga beställning utan några besvär. Vi tar hand om allt för dem, inklusive utbetalning till certifierade klimatprojekt" Kunder och investerare har länge krävt hållbara lösningar, och det som en gång kunde övervägas, som klimatneutrala affärsmetoder eller grön IT, är nu ofta avgörande för ett företags framgång. Miljöskydd har blivit ett företagsmål och hållbar upphandling en moralisk skyldighet. Hållbarhet och bekämpning av klimatförändringar har blivit ett måste för företag – ur ett miljömässigt, socialt och kommersiellt perspektiv. Med carbonZER0 får våra kunder inte bara möjlighet att förbättra sin image genom koldioxidneutral IT-finansiering, utan kan också påverka sitt miljöavtryck på ett positivt och transparent sätt. Resursbrist och klimatförändringar är prioriterade frågor globalt; allt fler åtgärder införs med syfte att övergå till en cirkulär ekonomi. Det är kombinationen av innovativa lösningar och hållbara val som tar samhället framåt i jakten på en cirkulär ekonomi.

Men vad behöver du göra för att dina anställda ska kunna arbeta på distans utan problem? Läs vidare för att ta reda på hur vi på CHG-MERIDIAN implementerade den digitala arbetsplatsen och vilka element som var nyckeln till detta. För ett teknikhanteringsföretag som CHG-MERIDIAN, spelar den digitala arbetsplatsen en integrerad roll i vår digitaliseringsstrategi. Distansarbetet blir viktigare, både nationellt och internationellt, och arbetsplatsen måste vara tillräckligt flexibel för att möjliggöra detta. Mobila enheter spelar en nyckelroll, men det handlar också om digitala plattformar och processer samt de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Distansarbete kräver rätt IT-utrustning, där effektiva teknikinvesteringar är hörnstenen i vår digitala arbetsplatsstrategi. Vi såg till att all utrustning för arbetsplatsen, bestående av en bärbar dator och en smartphone, blev tillgängligt för alla anställda baserat på de olika behoven som finns i varje användargrupp. Kundvagnen som de anställda kan välja sin utrustning ifrån uppdateras och utvidgas kontinuerligt, och varje anställd kan välja de enheter som bäst passar deras sätt att arbeta. De kan också lägga till alla tillbehör de behöver, till exempel hörlurar. Utrustningen kan användas både för arbete och privat, medan en säkerhetslösning säkerställer att all data skyddas och raderas i slutet av utrustningens livstid i enlighet med dataskyddsriktlinjerna. Mobila enheter är värdelösa om användaren inte kan få fjärråtkomst till den information de behöver för att utföra sitt arbete. På CHG-MERIDIAN förlitar vi oss på en molnlösning och virtualisering av alla våra applikationer. Vi arbetar även med samarbetsverktyg, som Office 365, som ger våra anställda tillgång till den information de behöver, var som helst. Vi har även digitaliserat ett antal dokument-, kontrakt- och fakturahanteringsprocesser så att vi inte längre är beroende av papper. Dessutom kan alla serviceförfrågningar under utrustningens livscykel göras digitalt. Om till exempel en enhet går förlorad eller blir defekt kan man snabbt och enkelt beställa en ny via vår självbetjäningsportal, där enheten sedan skickas till den anställdes önskade adress. En god användarupplevelsen är viktigt för oss, och vi lägger mycket tid och fokus på att utveckla användarvänligheten av våra plattformar. Att enbart ha rätt teknik och infrastruktur på plats leder inte automatiskt till ett framgångsrikt resultat. Dessa måste användas på rätt sätt, vilket är varför vår digitala arbetsplatsstrategi även fokuserar på de anställda. Det är avgörande att ge de anställda allt de behöver för att arbeta digitalt och på distans. För att underlätta detta har vi infört en flexibel arbetstidsmodell som gör det möjligt för våra anställda att välja när och var de ska arbeta. Eftersom övergången till en digital arbetsplats kräver en viss justering ser vi till att all support som krävs för att säkerställa att distansarbetet blir en framgång. Genom våra interaktiva plattformar för e-lärande erbjuder vi online-utbildningar, svarar på frågor och skapar videos med användbara tips och trix för distansarbetet. Ett internt team av experter, som består av representanter från olika avdelningar, modererar klasserna och är till hands för att hjälpa till via en livechatt. Vi erbjuder fortfarande analoga alternativ för utveckling och lärande, eftersom varje anställd har sin egna föredragna metod att lära sig. För ett år sedan kom vi på idén om att starta ett digitalt café för våra anställda. Här kan de träffa våra digitala arbetsplatsexperter för lite prat över en kopp te eller kaffe. Vi har nu lanserat denna idé över hela världen. Den digitala arbetsplatsen är en integrerad del av varje digitaliseringsstrategi och CHG-MERIDIAN är inget undantag. För att implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen framgångsrikt och optimera den på lång sikt tror vi att det finns tre faktorer som lyckat distansarbete är beroende av: tekniken, plattformen och - sist men inte minst - de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Ta reda på vad den teknologiska faktorn handlar om i den här artikeln. A study shows that the majority of employees want to take advantage of mobile working, but companies are yet to catch on to this trend. There is a lack of equipment and of coherent concepts, despite the fact that the digital workplace and digital skills are crucial factors in the success of Industry 4.0 and Work 4.0. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. In comparison to classic financing, by relying on a payment method that is based on actual usage, companies can avoid high capital expenditure on IT equipment or on installing and running IT solutions and servers. Collaboration tools can link people and share knowledge across time zones and physical locations, making work more efficient and productive. But the prospective users have to be on board. This white paper highlights the strategies that companies can adopt to improve employee buy-in for the digital workplace and shows how they can get the most out of their digital workplace investments.

Vi spelar en aktiv roll i samhället och tar vårt ansvar för kommande generationer på fullt allvar. Vårt arbete styrs av behoven och förväntningarna hos våra kunder, våra medarbetare och människorna som bor i de områden där vi bedriver verksamhet. Den grundläggande principen för hur vi behandlar varandra är rättvisa. Vi ger våra medarbetare en möjlighet att växa och utvecklas på det personliga planet. Och vi värnar om miljön och naturens resurser. Att fokusera på framtiden och samtidigt värna om etablerade värderingar är helt enkelt logiskt för oss. Därför stödjer vi en utveckling som är innovativ och hållbar för människa och miljö. Vi agerar rättvist och med integritet i alla länder där vi bedriver verksamhet. Vårt mål är att på ett effektivt sätt bidra till en hållbar utveckling och till att bevara jordens resurser. För att uppnå detta mål utnyttjar vi våra specialistkunskaper inom teknisk återanvändning. Genom våra insatser inom remarketing ser vi till att datorer och annan IT-utrustning får ett andra liv. Vid våra servicecenter i Tyskland och Norge renoverar vi mer än 500 000 IT-enheter varje år. Istället för att utrustningen kasseras, renoverar vi och säljer den och genererar på så sätt intäkter för våra kunder. Vi kan även erbjuda alla kunder en certifiering som visar att deras gamla utrustning har återanvänts och avyttrats på ett miljövänligt och hållbart sätt. Genom att ersätta vår globala serverinfrastruktur med en molnlösning har vi minskat elförbrukningen betydligt. Integritet är den grund som vår företagskultur och vår tillväxt vilar på. Det innebär bland annat att vi behandlar varandra med respekt, har förtroende för varandra och följer regler och bestämmelser. Vi följer gällande lagar och konkurrensregler och förväntar oss att våra affärspartner och kunder gör detsamma. Vår uppförandekod har varit i kraft sedan 2013 och gäller alla anställda på CHG-MERIDIAN världen över. Den beskriver riktlinjerna för vårt dagliga arbete med målet att förebygga missförhållanden och är därmed avgörande för vår framtida tillväxt. Samtidigt etablerades en ny avdelning: Group Risk Controlling. Där arbetar vår Chief compliance officer, som ansvarar för vår visselblåsarfunktion, dit våra affärspartners, kunder och anställda kan vända sig och anmäla missförhållanden anonymt. För oss är det viktigt att vara en del av samhället och vi är glada över att aktivt vara med och stödja initiativ, projekt och föreningar i våra lokala samhällen. Eller till och med initiera dem själva.     EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|ATT TA ANSVAR h2|För en hållbar framtid h3|Choose your region HÅLLBAR UTVECKLING Vi arbetar aktivt med återanvändning INTEGRITET I PRAKTIKEN FÖR SAMHÄLLET Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h6|DET LIGGER I VÅR NATUR sp|                                 pa|Ett brett spektrum av projekt, en gemensam nämnare: Vår erfarenhet och portfölj av tjänster hjälper våra kunder att lyckas. De utmaningar som kunder i den offentliga sektorn, stora företag och små och medelstora företag står inför är lika olika som våra skräddarsydda servicepaket. Skrivare, datorer, lagringsmedier - volymen av IT-utrustning hos företag växer ständigt, medan livscyklerna för teknik blir allt kortare. Vi känner till dessa utmaningar väl och tillsammans med våra kunder kan vi utnyttja dem för att uppnå affärsframgång. Utrustning och maskiner behöver inte alltid finansieras från eget kapital. Vi hittar rätt finansieringsmodell för våra kunder och stöder dem under hela användningsperioden. Att investera i den senaste sjukvårdstekniken innebär ofta höga kostnader.

De har dessutom tillgång till den senaste tekniken, som kan anpassas till deras individuella behov. CHG-MERIDIAN visar hur detta kan gå till. Hårdvaran är bara en av många byggstenar i den process som brukar kallas ”den digitala omvandlingen” och som förväntas leda till ökad produktivitet. En förutsättning är dock att de anställda tar till sig den nya tekniken och får lära sig hur de använder den. Självklart måste tekniken också vara lätt tillgänglig och säker att använda. En annan förutsättning är att man tar ett helhetsgrepp på IT-utrustningens hela livscykel, där hänsyn tas till alla medarbetare, avdelningar och rutiner som krävs för att projektet ska bli framgångsrikt. Läs mer om vår 360° livscykelmodell och våra tjänster: Rent konkret betyder detta att vi kan erbjuda en heltäckande lösning som omfattar alla viktiga tekniska och finansiella aspekter av IT-investeringen. Tack vare vår långa erfarenhet inom IT Asset Management kan vi erbjuda förmånliga och kundanpassade tjänster. Istället för att binda upp sig till en viss leverantör och därmed begränsa valet av enheter och prismodeller har våra kunder stor frihet att styra vilka produkter de vill använda och hur prismodellen ska se ut. Detta kan vi erbjuda tack vare att vi är oberoende, det vill säga att vi inte är bundna till vare sig banker eller tillverkare. "Sett ur ett organisatoriskt, kommersiellt, tekniskt och mänskligt perspektiv kommer den digitala omvandlingen att lyckas först när samtliga dessa områden beaktas och alla processer och lösningar är inriktade på vad företagen och deras anställda verkligen behöver. Låt oss göra den resan tillsammans." Lukas Wojoczek, Digital Workplace Sales, CHG-MERIDIAN Med vårt koncept COPE motiverar vi de anställda genom att involvera dem i inköpsprocessen. De viktigaste fördelarna för de anställda: högre produktivitet och motivation tack vare möjligheten att jobba på distans lägre kostnader genom konsolidering och standardiserade processer, tillgodoräknande av restvärden och kostnadstransparens snabbare driftsättning genom självbetjäning, automation, leverantöroberoende och separering av enhet och avtal There is growing pressure to roll out digital workplace strategies. The technologies and processes deployed are often state-of-the-art, yet performance and employee productivity still lag behind. At this point, it becomes clear how important it is to get the employees on board with regard to a digital work culture. Data platforms allow us to organize and structure the flood of digital information in a sensible way when working remotely. They also enable us to work in virtual teams across borders. From anywhere. This type of flexibility is already the norm at CHG-MERIDIAN, and every day we learn something new. Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. Companies’ complicated and time-consuming order processes can make it feel like an eternity until employees receive their workplace IT equipment. This not only tries the patience of employees in all departments involved, but also causes them stress. After all, these days we are used to fast and user-friendly e-commerce portals such as Amazon. Companies can also deploy and benefit from this type of self-service portal. The Haufe Group is driving its digital transformation forward while focusing on creating a better user experience for customers and employees. Andreas Plaul, Head of IT, explains why. The Freiburg-based Haufe Group has won the Digital Transformer of the Year award. The accolade is presented to companies that have excelled in terms of their digital transformation. Andreas Plaul, Head of ICT at Haufe Group, explains how the company is shaping its digital journey. Computing power, platforms, and software can already be acquired as a service, so why not complete workplace IT? Discover the benefits that workplace as a service (WaaS) can have for your company. Don't run any unnecessary risks when it comes to remarketing or disposing of decommissioned IT equipment. Find out how cost-effective and permanent data erasure works. Smartphones and laptops have already become the norm at home. Yet many people find themselves stuck in an analog world at work, despite the fact that setting up a digital workplace is not that difficult with a little preparation and planning. You do not only need to be at the desk in your office to do your work. The home office and lounges at airports and train stations now provide plenty of opportunity to be productive. We show you how the latest technology can help you to use your working time most effectively. Cloud computing, the expansion of fiber broadband, mobile phone coverage – Germany is still lagging behind when it comes to the areas that are vital to the digital revolution. Unfortunately, this also applies to organizing work and equipping workplaces. We will show you how the right strategy can increase your efficiency and make the Digital Workplace the core of your digitization strategy. “We regard the digital workplace as a holistic system that adds significant value in all areas of your company that work with IT.” Lukas Wojoczek, Digital Workplace Sales It is almost impossible to calculate the overall costs of IT for a single workplace using conventional procurement and usage models. The latest digital workplace concepts can provide transparency. Today, employees expect their employer to provide a modern digital workplace that is equipped with the latest technology, is available 24/7, and enables them to complete their tasks from anywhere. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. In comparison to classic financing, by relying on a payment method that is based on actual usage, companies can avoid high capital expenditure on IT equipment or on installing and running IT solutions and servers. If you are planning a new IT infrastructure, the first question you will ask yourself, as the CFO, is whether the investment will pay off. We highlight the costs that are often overlooked and show you how to work out the correct total cost of ownership.    Contact  Fakta Tidigare artiklar  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 Please contact us.

På flera platser eller kanske till och med i flera olika länder? Vi erbjuder skräddarsydda tjänster för finansiering och administration av alla typer av teknisk utrustning, oavsett tillverkare. Fördelarna för er är administrativa processer baserade på Lean, en högre nivå av flexibilitet och inte minst – lägre kostnader. Truckar, kranar, pallmaskiner – logistikverksamhet är resurskrävande och den tekniska utrustningen kommer ofta från olika leverantörer. Slitaget varierar ofta kraftigt mellan olika typer av maskiner och därmed även livslängden. Har företaget dessutom distribution i flera olika länder kan det vara svårt att ha full kontroll på den tekniska utrustningen och alla tillhörande serviceavtal etc. Våra industrikonsulter har många års erfarenhet av att analysera logistikprocesser och hitta potentiella besparingar. Vilka processer behöver ni hjälp med? I vilka länder? Vilken utrustning behöver ni? Till vilka villkor? Vilken serviceleverantör vill ni använda? Vilka processer kan effektiviseras genom standardisering? Med utgångspunkt från dessa faktorer tar vi fram en optimal lösning och samlar allt i ett enda leasingavtal med förutsägbara betalningsvillkor, helt oberoende av tillverkare och banker. Har ni verksamhet i flera länder eller kanske till och med i olika världsdelar? Tack vare att CHG Meridian har kontor i hela 27 länder finns vi alltid nära tillhands. Vi anpassar alla avtal till lokala skattelagar och andra föreskrifter. Men det som verkligen betyder något för er lönsamhet förblir detsamma – de allmänna villkoren i ramavtalet. Erbjuder ni tjänster inom kontraktslogistik? Då vet du hur krävande det kan vara att anpassa de tekniska resurserna efter leveransvolymerna. Vi kan hjälpa er med detta genom att samordna kontraktsperioden och utrustningens livslängd. Vi övervakar även ägandekostnaderna kontinuerligt samtidigt som vi erbjuder maximal flexibilitet, från inköp till remarketing. Om er kund förlänger kontraktet kan ni förlänga leasingperioden för utrustningen och samtidigt justera dess restvärde. Och om ni önskar en mer flexibel finansiering av befintlig utrustning kan utrustningen införlivas i leasingavtalen genom vår modell för sale and leaseback. Vanligtvis kan vi erbjuda mycket flexibla villkor för leasingbetalningarna, vilket till stor del skyddar likviditeten även på volatila marknader. Vet du vilka maskiner och fordon som är i bruk just nu? Och på vilken anläggning? Vilket fabrikat det är? Eller om kostnaderna för service och underhåll har förändrats? Med Asset Management-systemet TESMA® har du alltid den här typen av information nära tillhands. Verktyget ger dig full överblick över aktuell teknisk och finansiell data med alla kostnader allokerade på rätt kostnadsställe. Detta ger dig full kontroll av all teknisk utrustning – på alla anläggningar i alla länder – och hjälper dig att effektivisera resursanvändningen och minska kostnaderna. Vill du veta var du kan göra besparingar i din flotthantering? Vill du optimera dina internationella logistikprocesser? Letar du efter lösningar som gör att du kan hantera din produktion mer flexibelt? Är kostnaderna för lagertruckar i högsta laget? Tar administrationen av dem onödigt mycket tid i anspråk? Skulle du vilja ha en bättre översikt över företagets maskinpark i olika länder? Vad sägs om att få avkastning direkt, från första producerade enhet?

För att implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen framgångsrikt och optimera den på lång sikt tror vi att det finns tre faktorer som påverkar kvaliteten på distansarbetet: tekniken, plattformen och - sist men inte minst - de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Ta reda på vad den tekniska faktorn handlar om i den här artikeln. Möjligheten för att arbeta på distans och från vilken plats som helst har alltid varit viktig, inte minst mot bakgrund av ökad digitalisering och internationalisering – och under de senaste månaderna har det blivit ännu mer relevant. Men det faktum att inte tillräckligt många anställda har tillgång till mobila enheter är ett betydande hinder. Enligt de senaste resultaten från D21 Digital Index får mindre än hälften av alla anställda som använder IT på arbetsplatsen en bärbar dator av sin arbetsgivare, och bara 22 procent får en smartphone. Bilden är mycket snarlik över hela världen. Detta innebär att om majoriteten av de anställda plötsligt tvingas arbeta hemifrån, är det inte så lätt att genomföra. Fler och fler företag inser att teknik är grunden för att öka produktiviteten vid distansarbete. Att arbeta produktivt på lång sikt kräver den senaste tekniken, inklusive uppgraderingar med jämna mellanrum, och varje arbetsplats måste erbjuda adekvat prestanda. Vår lösning för den digitala arbetsplatsen fokuserar på de anställdas individuella teknikkrav eftersom varje användargrupp har sina egna behov: om en anställd spenderar mycket tid på resande fot, är en lätt och smidigare enhet bäst passande. Konvertibla enheter är också mycket populära. Andra anställda kanske arbetar med stora datamängder, i vilket fall högre prestanda är nyckeln. Den grundläggande utrustningen som vi förser anställda med består alltid av en smartphone och en bärbar dator. Den anställda kan sedan välja ytterligare alternativ beroende på deras specifika behov, som i många fall inkluderar ett brusreducerande headset. För oss är det viktigt att låta de anställda få vara med och ta ställning till vilken typ av utrustning som ska beställas och användas, detta eftersom de bäst vet vad deras krav och behov är. Att ha ett val och kunna välja sin egna utrustning är allt viktigare, i synnerhet för yngre kollegor. Att engagera de anställda ger även en extra boost till deras motivation. I vår interna beställningsportal, TESMA®, kan beställning och val av enheter och utrustning hanteras helt automatiskt. Här kan varje anställd välja vilka mobila enheter de behöver - utan de långa godkännandeperioderna och installationsprocesserna. Uppgraderingar kan enkelt ordnas för en personlig tilläggsavgift och levereras snabbt - till den anställdes hemadress om det behövs. "För mig är det viktigt att kunna arbeta på distans och ha tillgång till den senaste kommunikationstekniken. På CHG-MERIDIAN har jag den största möjliga friheten när jag väljer var jag arbetar och de verktyg jag använder." Anställd på CHG-MERIDIAN i Weingarten Enligt forskning av IDC kämpar 62 procent av företagen med att anställda tar beslut i egna händer och köper den utrustning de behöver, istället för att vänta på långdragna beslutsprocesser och leveranstider. Tack vare våra effektiva processers undviker vi just detta fenomen. Dessutom får anställda använda sina valda enheter privat, vilket har flera fördelar: medarbetare arbetar endast inom en IT-miljö, och vi kan förhindra att kunddata, företagsdokument eller annan känslig information skickas från privata enheter. Detta är viktigt att beakta när det gäller compliance, säkerhet och dataskydd. Riskerna för datasäkerhet är högre med mobila enheter, vilket är varför vi har skapat en lösning som säkerställer att data på mobila enheter är säkra - när som helst, var som helst. Vi har också utvecklat robusta lösningar för stöld och andra typer av förlust av enheter. I slutet av livslängden säkerställer vår egenutvecklade eraSURE®-lösning att informationen är säker genom att radera lagringsenheter i bärbara datorer, surfplattor och smartphones helt automatiskt. På ”den digitala arbetsplatsen” har medarbetarna betydligt större frihet att välja var och när de arbetar och de är inte längre bundna till sitt skrivbord och sin stationära dator. De har dessutom tillgång till den senaste tekniken, som kan anpassas till deras individuella behov. CHG-MERIDIAN visar hur detta kan gå till. Att arbeta på distans är nu ett hett ämne. Men vad behöver du göra för att dina anställda ska kunna arbeta på distans utan problem? Läs vidare för att ta reda på hur vi på CHG-MERIDIAN implementerade den digitala arbetsplatsen och vilka element som var nyckeln till detta. Dataplattformar tillåter oss att organisera och strukturera översvämningen av digital information på ett förnuftigt sätt när vi arbetar på distans. De gör det också möjligt för oss att arbeta i virtuella team över gränserna. Vart vi än befinner oss. Denna typ av flexibilitet är redan normen hos CHG-MERIDIAN, och varje dag lär vi oss något nytt.

KG, based in Frickingen, is an innovative market leader for office and environmental technology. CHG-MERIDIAN has made its internal IT processes fully future-proof and provided cost transparency. Efficient technology management is particularly important to Matthias Wochner, Managing Director at HSM. As he is responsible for finance, sales, and marketing he considers it essential to the company’s continued business success and growth. The extensive range of inhouse technologies relating to IT and production is one of the main pillars of HSM’s unique selling proposition. “Our manufacturing depth, with extensive machinery and equipment available inhouse, is what distinguishes us from most of our competitors. This means we are very flexible when dealing with our customers’ requirements, something that is very important with regard not only to large-scale equipment but also to specialized devices. Public-sector customers – such as government authorities – are a good example because they always stipulate very specific requirements.” One of the elements of this strategy is the restructuring of at HSM in the Managed Print Services project, which focused on all of the printers, photocopiers, scanners, and fax machines used in the company. The overarching aim was to increase their efficiency in terms of environmental impact and financial cost. This is where the independent experts from CHG-MERIDIAN came in, as partners for efficient technology management. Beforehand, HSM’s IT department had analyzed the company’s needs so that its future printing infrastructure requirements could be defined in detail. CHG-MERIDIAN helped to plan the new infrastructure and prepare the subsequent call for tenders. The defined requirements were demanding. For example, the devices and a 24-hour support service have to be available at all times, not only in Germany but also at HSM’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and the USA. The list of requirements included a 20 percent decrease in running costs, greater energy efficiency for the devices, and automated transmission of information to enable the replacement and billing of consumables. After the requirements analysis and request-for-proposal consulting, the main strategic assistance that CHG-MERIDIAN provided to HSM related to the development of efficient and flexible customized business concepts. The consolidation process led to the number of end devices at HSM being reduced from 150 to 90, a decrease of around 40 percent. Combined with the reduction in the operating costs of the individual devices, monthly costs fell by an impressive 50 percent despite the printing volume remaining unchanged, meaning the actual cost saving was significantly higher than the targeted 20 percent. This impressive feat was achieved by providing the best possible terms, reducing running costs, and using fewer devices. A further advantage of HSM’s manufacturing depth is the sheer breadth of the high-quality product portfolio. As Wochner explains: “This enables us to operate in all kinds of sales channels, from small devices sold online to maximum-security equipment and large machinery developed for specific projects. And between these extremes, we can exploit the fluid boundaries between our product categories to always offer our customers the HSM product that best meets their needs.” Wochner adds: “One of the main challenges for the future is the increasing complexity of business decisions and processes. It’s not always easy to deal with these complexities in a company of our size.” An expanding medium-sized business with global operations, HSM now exports 72 percent of its products to international markets, which are very fast-paced and subject to very different laws and regulations. Given its successful growth, HSM has therefore teamed up with CHG-MERIDIAN to take a closer look at its internal structures and processes. technology and service management system. The system has been customized so that specially defined shopping carts containing the necessary IT assets are available for each HSM location – with uniform terms and conditions worldwide and the same high quality and service level. This is where economies of scale and far greater transparency really come to bear: “This has a direct monetary effect for us but also makes the administration much more straightforward,” says Thorsten Schäfer, IT manager at HSM. “Such structures are entirely normal in a large company but not so in a medium-sized business like HSM. CHG-MERIDIAN was the ideal partner for us because it doesn’t just cover the funding; it’s also a single source of support for the entire technology lifecycle. What’s more, it provides the international structures that are so important to us, i.e. global availability without international billing.” The Managed Print Services project is just the first step in further cooperation with CHG-MERIDIAN on the restructuring of IT and technology management at HSM. Other initiatives will have the same aim: reducing complexity and using the company’s resources even more efficiently so that they can be targeted in areas where they will harness potential for growth in relation to customers, markets, and products. The example of HSM impressively demonstrates how CHG-Meridian achieves maximum efficiency for financial and operational spending thanks to its in-depth understanding of capital expenditure at every stage of the technology lifecycle.       EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Company: Hermann Schwelling Maschinenbau GmbH + Co.

CHG-MERIDIAN was able to the lighten the load by finding a way to run their new data centers in a sustainable and energy-efficient manner. Demag Cranes, now part of the Terex group of companies, made the strategic decision to move their SAP systems, whose operation was previously outsourced, to their own IT infrastructure. This required the construction of three , two at the headquarters in Düsseldorf and one at their Wetter site. The Management Board hoped to achieve considerable cost savings and an increase in quality and uptime. To do this, the IT environment that had developed over time was consolidated and transferred to state-of-the-art data centers capable of providing the necessary computing performance and security. Because environmental protection is enshrined in TEREX’s corporate values, it was important for more than just financial reasons to achieve a high degree of energy efficiency. CHG-MERIDIAN developed a suitable corporate strategy to achieve better IT performance. “Our new data centers have allowed us to run our SAP systems inhouse and to make our corporate strategy in the areas of sustainability and energy efficiency more credible. Without the support of the consultants at CHG-MERIDIAN we wouldn’t have been able to deliver the project in this way and obtain certification from TÜV Rheinland,” explains Friedhelm Zahn, Head of IT Infrastructure at Demag Cranes AG. In early 2012, CHG-MERIDIAN teamed up with product standards regulator TÜV Rheinland Consulting to launch the ‘energy-efficient data center’ certification initiative. “Our aim is to reduce the amount of energy consumed, and thereby CO2 emitted, by large data centers,” says Hans-Jörg Heming, Senior Consultant at CHG-MERIDIAN responsible for the complex project at the long-standing partner. The specialist consultants at CHG-MERIDIAN were able to bring their technological expertise from numerous projects into play, make the necessary resources available, and also highlight innovative financing models. Planning for the data centers began in early 2011 and the contract for the build was awarded in May. Three months passed between the granting of the building permit and the start of the ground works, so that building started in August. The prefabricated building was constructed during September and October, and the interior works began in November. The data centers were completed in December and brought online. After one year of operation, the certificates for energy efficiency and CAT II+ operational security were awarded in January 2013. CHG-MERIDIAN, which is not tied to specific suppliers, provided consulting and project management expertise. This benefited DEMAG when it was planning the data center specifications, running the project, and obtaining TÜV certification.

Upptäck vilka fördelar arbetsplatsen som en tjänst (WaaS) kan ha för ditt företag. Beställ idag, leverans imorgon - en trevlig idé, men som inte kan tillämpas på de flesta arbetsplatser än idag. Innan ett köp av IT kan ske finns det omfattande budgetplanerings- och anbudsprocesser att gå igenom och det finns ofta långa kontraktsfaser för underhåll och support att hantera. När alla delar och enheter äntligen levererats är det dags att konfigurera enheten – nödvändiga applikationer ska installeras och enheten ska integreras i nätverket. En lång process som kan ta veckor att slutföra. I slutet av utrustningens livslängd, är det inte sällan som man i många fall glömmer att säkerställa att bortforsling och radering av konfidentiell data sker enligt lagkrav. Konventionella inköpsprocesser av IT är också en huvudvärk när det gäller budgetplanering. Ofta är utgifterna spridda över ett brett spektrum av artiklar, vilket gör det mycket svårt att beräkna de verkliga kostnaderna. Sedan finns det riskerna i livscykeln - till exempel hårdvarufel, förlust eller stöld. Arbetsplatsen som en tjänst (WaaS) -modellen är en förlängning av programvara som en tjänst (SaaS). Användaren har både hårdvaran och den nödvändiga programvaran, och företaget faktureras ett fast månadsbelopp. Tjänster som försäkring och radering av data i slutet av leasingperioden kan också integreras i hyresbetalningen. Enkelt uttryckt är användaren försedd med en allomfattande arbetsplats. Den traditionella processen är att skaffa hårdvara och mjukvara, lägga till den i anläggningstillgångarna och avskriva den under flera år. Men varierande avskrivningsperioder och regler minskar insynen och gör bokföringen mer komplex. Genom att leasa företagets IT förblir tillgångarna, inklusive programvaran, leverantörens egendom och som hyrestagare behöver företaget endast ange de löpande kostnader i böckerna. Fasta priser som täcker hårdvaran och alla tjänster erbjuder ytterligare fördelar. Inte många företag kan säga med full säkerhet hur mycket deras arbetsplats IT kostar. En hyrd arbetsplats kommer att kosta exakt det avtalade beloppet varje månad. Detta skapar öppenhet och planeringssäkerhet under hela hyresperioden. Med WaaS är den nya arbetsplatsen tillgänglig inom några dagar. Med en självbetjäningsportal tillåter man anställda att välja sin föredragna hårdvaru- och mjukvarukombination från ett urval som definierats av arbetsgivaren, vilket ökar deras tillfredsställelse och engagemang hos de anställda. En ytterligare fördel med att leasa företagets IT är dess större flexibilitet. Ett brett utbud av arbetsplatsmiljöer, inklusive flera skärmar och mobila enheter, kan sättas ihop med självbetjäningsportalen och anpassas till jobbprofilen. Alla enheter tillhandahåller den arbetsmiljö som den anställda är bekant med och gör det möjligt att enkelt ansluta till företagets nätverk genom att klicka på en knapp utan ytterligare konfiguration. Vad händer med företagets IT när dess livslängd väl är över? I många fall raderas inte konfidentiell data och andra uppgifter som enheten innehåller korrekt, vilket är ett tydligt brott mot lagen och kan leda till stora böter. Många hyresmodeller inkluderar radering av data i enlighet med lagkrav och remarketing eller avyttring av tillgångar som en del av kontraktet. Leasing istället för att köpa - det som länge har varit normen för programvara kan nu också tillämpas på arbetsplatsen. WaaS har många fördelar: Medarbetaren får en komplett, färdiggjord arbetsmiljö - IT-avdelningen har mindre arbete att göra och ekonomiavdelningen har full koll på kostnaderna. En riktig win-win-situation för alla inblandade. Att arbeta på distans är nu ett hett ämne. Men vad behöver du göra för att dina anställda ska kunna arbeta på distans utan problem? Läs vidare för att ta reda på hur vi på CHG-MERIDIAN implementerade den digitala arbetsplatsen och vilka element som var nyckeln till detta. Den digitala arbetsplatsen är en integrerad del av varje digitaliseringsstrategi och CHG-MERIDIAN är inget undantag. För att implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen framgångsrikt och optimera den på lång sikt tror vi att det finns tre faktorer som lyckat distansarbete är beroende av: tekniken, plattformen och - sist men inte minst - de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Ta reda på vad den teknologiska faktorn handlar om i den här artikeln. Många företag kämpar med att införa en digital arbetsplats. Tekniken och processerna som används är ofta avancerade, men ändå ligger prestanda och anställdas produktivitet fortfarande kvar på samma nivå som tidigare – och det blir tydligt hur viktigt det är att få de anställda ombord när det gäller en digital arbetskultur.    Kontakt  Tidigare artiklar  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 Please contact us!

Nu ser vi även vad mer som måste göras, för att optimera den digitala arbetsplatsen hos företag. Utbrottet av COVID-19 under början på 2020 gav IT-chefer och VD utmaningen att göra mobila arbetsplatser och lämplig infrastruktur tillgängliga för sina anställda nästan över en natt. Vissa företag var bättre förberedda på detta än andra, några hade ingen tidigare erfarenhet alls av distansarbete eller mobila arbetsplatser. En del företag saknade helt bärbara datorer eller mobiltelefoner för sina anställda att använda och ta hem, lika så brist på digitala plattformar för anställda att kommunicera, samarbeta och, på ett säkert sätt, tillgång till data på distans. Anställda som regelbundet stått vid kopiatoren fick plötsligt lära sig hantera en helt ny arbetsmiljö med digitala kommunikationsplattformar och affärsprocesser. Men att slängas in i detta har också haft sina fördelar, eftersom digitaliseringshastigheten har fått ett rejält uppsving. Positiva effekter från corona-krisen är den digitala transformationens acceleration. Företag som redan tidigare investerat i digitala arbetsplatser har kunnat reagera snabbt och säkert på krisen. Andra har varit tvungna att improvisera och anskaffa mobila enheter på kort varsel, vilket inte är enkelt med tanke på flaskhalsar i utbudet och stigande priser. En av lärdomarna från krisen är att ingen kan undvika digitalisering; den digitala arbetsplatsen är en viktig och nödvändig investering. Nu är det upp till företag att granska sina improviserade åtgärder och vid behov korrigera och optimera dem för att anpassa dem till en framtidssäker och hållbar digitaliseringsstrategi. När man står inför en ekonomisk kris och låga tillväxttakter kan kostnadsbesparande åtgärder anses vara ett mer uppenbart alternativ än att spendera, men investeringar i digitala arbetsplatser kan betala sig genom hårdvaran och öka produktiviteten, vilket redan har bevisats i . Det första steget är att definiera de långsiktiga målen: Den digitala arbetsplatsen är naturligtvis mer än bara hårdvara, men den kan helt enkelt inte fungera utan den. Det skulle vara ett misstag att välja lägre prestanda för att spara pengar, särskilt när man sätter siffrorna i sammanhanget. En investering på cirka 1 500 euro per anställd är väl motiverad med tanke på produktivitetsvinster och fördelar för företaget. Krisen har tydligt visat att företag, som redan använt pengar på sina anställdas hårdvara innan corona-utbrottet, kan se att denna investering lönat sig. Även den bästa hårdvaran är till liten nytta om det inte finns någon lämplig digital infrastruktur bakom den, till exempel automatiserade processer, en lämplig applikationsplattform och rätt samarbetsverktyg. Anställda måste kunna få tillgång till data och tjänster på distans. Denna typ av plattform har många fördelar. Det förenklar inte bara det mobila arbetssättet och kommunikationen utan garanterar också att slutanordningar enkelt kan bytas ut. Anställda ska kunna komma åt plattformen från både sin smartphone och bärbara dator, och informationen ska vara tillgänglig från alla enheter. Att undvika stillestånd och förseningar är inte bara bekvämt och praktiskt, det sparar också kostnader, varför det är extra viktigt att välja rätt plattform. Förändring kan kännas besvärligt, och att vänja sig med digitala arbetsmetoder kan vara en enorm utmaning för många anställda. De måste bekanta sig med en ny digital miljö: videosamtal istället för mötesrum, evenemang online och nätverkande via sociala nätverk. Detta är ett nytt territorium för många, och det tar tid att vänja sig till det. Därför är det viktigt att få de anställda ombord så tidigt som möjligt. En långsiktig, kostnadsoptimerad digital arbetsplatsplan består av tre väsentliga byggstenar: rätt hårdvara, en lämplig plattform och de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Att arbeta på distans är nu ett hett ämne. Men vad behöver du göra för att dina anställda ska kunna arbeta på distans utan problem?

Följande artikel belyser den nyckelroll som de anställda spelar i alla digitaliseringsstrategier. Dataplattformar tillåter oss att organisera och strukturera översvämningen av digital information på ett förnuftigt sätt när vi arbetar på distans. De gör det också möjligt för oss att arbeta i virtuella team över gränserna. Vart vi än befinner oss. Denna typ av flexibilitet är redan normen hos CHG-MERIDIAN, och varje dag lär vi oss något nytt.

Vill ni ha bättre översikt över användningen av maskinparken internationellt? Vi hjälper er hela vägen, från inköp till återlämning och ser till att de totala ägandekostnaderna blir så låga som möjligt. Hur väl känner du till företagets kostnader för lagerfordon? Vad är totalkostnaden per truck? Genom våra kundanpassade tjänster hjälper vi er att minska kostnaderna genom att beräkna den optimala livslängden för varje fordonsslag. I våra analyser tar vi bland annat hänsyn till att kostnaderna för reparationer, service och nedtid ökar kraftigt efter ett visst antal driftstimmar och att livslängden varierar mellan olika tillverkare och mellan olika produkter. Till exempel är det stor skillnad mellan eltruckar och dieseltruckar. Vad sägs om att kunna byta leverantör, utan att behöva skriva nya kontrakt och fastna i utdragna förhandlingar? Inga problem! Beställ helt enkelt de nya fordon ni önskar så integrerar vi dem i de befintliga avtalen. Dessa avtal skräddarsys till ert företag oavsett i vilka länder ni bedriver verksamhet. Våra produktspecialister har många års erfarenhet och vet allt som är värt att veta om truckar och annan logistikutrustning, såsom tillverkare, olika modeller etc. Vi är en industrioberoende rådgivare och baserar alltid våra rekommendationer på tydliga siffror, fakta och produkttester. På så sätt kan vi erbjuda den mest ändamålsenliga utrustningen och avtal med ägandekostnader i fokus. Fördelen för er? Upp till 50 procent lägre kostnader. (text på Engelska) Att ha kontroll på maskiner och fordon som är utspridda i många länder är en svår uppgift och samtidigt skälet till att så många företag anlitar oss.

Fördelen för er som kund är att ni får en enhetlig och smidig process för hantering av alla lagermaskiner och dessutom lägre kostnader. Hur många fordon har ni? Av vilka fabrikat? Vad är kapacitetsutnyttjandet? Vad är totalkostnaden? Vilken typ av lyftmaster har ni och vilken typ av batterier? Vilka avtal löper ut och när? Asset Management-systemet TESMA® ger er full överblick över maskinparken och all finansiell data. Du kan till exempel ta fram rapporter över utrustningens användning och enkelt planera framtida inköp och kostnader baserat på fordon, plats och land. Verktyget kan också användas för noggrann allokering av alla kostnader. Varierar ert behov av lagerfordon under olika perioder? I så fall har vi goda nyheter! Vi erbjuder leasingavtal som bygger på hur mycket fordonen används. Med andra ord betalar ni per timme, och ju färre timmar desto lägre månadskostnad. På så sätt får ni full kontroll på kostnaderna och slipper oroa er för upp- och nedgångar i resursutnyttjandet. Ni kan självklart även anpassa storleken på fordonsflottan och uppgradera modeller efter behov. Allt i ett enda avtal, vilket ger överskådliga och förutsägbara kostnader. Och om ni önskar en mer flexibel finansiering även av befintlig utrustning kan den införlivas i leasingavtalet genom vår modell för sale and leaseback.

Enligt branschorganisationen Bitkom arbetade hälften av alla anställda till stora delar hemifrån i slutet av mars 2020. Många företag kämpade för att klara de nya kraven. "Coronapandemin har förflyttat arbetslivet till sin digitala framtid och belyst de områden där IT-chefer fortfarande behöver förbättra sin digitala arbetsplatsstrategi", säger Oliver Schorer, IT-chef och ledamot i styrelsen för CHG-MERIDIAN. Företag som hunnit investera i fungerande lösningar för mobilt arbete före pandemin hade ett försprång och omställningen blev inte lika stor. Detta bekräftades av många av de IT-chefer vi talat med, inklusive Andreas Plaul, chef för IT- och Kommunikationstjänster på Haufe-gruppen. ”Mobilt arbete var väl etablerat i vårt företag före Coronapandemin, så våra anställda hade redan de enheter de behövde för att kunna arbeta hemifrån. Denna investering gav resultat, eftersom den gjorde det möjligt för mer än 2000 anställda att kunna arbeta hemifrån utan problem”, förklarar han. Thomas Henzler, IT-chef på fläkttillverkaren Piller, är också en av dem som valt att gå över till mobilt arbete innan pandemin, så när mars månad kom under 2020 hade företaget redan bytt ut hela dess arbets- och samarbetsinfrastruktur till distansarbete. Förändringsarbetet som gjordes inkluderade bland annat förändringar i hela företagets IT-infrastruktur och införande av nya verktyg, såsom Microsoft Teams och SharePoint Online. "Varje anställd har nu sin egen OneDrive, som gör det möjligt för dem att få tillgång till all data på vilken enhet som helst var de än är", säger Henzler. Andreas Plaul från Haufe-gruppen påpekar dock att det inte finns någon 'one-size-fits-all' lösning när det gäller den digitala arbetsplatsen: ”Vi har olika arbetsplatskonfigurationer som ger anställda stor rörlighet och som är inriktade på de specifika behoven hos de enskilda avdelningarna." Vi har olika arbetsplatskonfigurationer som ger anställda stor rörlighet och är anpassade till de enskilda avdelningernas specifika behov. Oliver Schorer ser mobilt arbete bara som en del av det övergripande konceptet. ”Den är ett integrerat användarkoncept som kräver rätt teknik, rätt plattform och rätt tänkesätt. Det måste vara anpassningsbart eftersom företagens och de anställdas krav ständigt utvecklas. Företag som lyckas hantera sina digitala arbetsplatser så flexibelt som möjligt - och i internationell skala - kommer att vara de som ser mest nytta.” Thomas Henzler ser också den digitala arbetsplatsen i det bredare sammanhanget med digitalisering: "Våra digitala arbetsplatser är till en viss del en kombination av processer och teknologier men även förmågan att använda dem effektivt är en an annan del", förklarar han. "Denna kombination skapar en flexibel struktur som gör att vi kan arbeta på nästan alla tillgängliga enheter, inklusive iPads, iPhones och bärbara datorer." "En digital arbetsplats som tar upp alla dessa aspekter accepteras lättare av anställda", bekräftar Peter Janze, VD och IT-chef för Digital@M, det digitala konsultföretaget för staden München. Även han tror också på att teknik bara är en del av den större bilden. "Övergången till digitala arbetsplatser måste ske med hjälp av intern marknadsföring, påverkan från chefer och andra stödjande aktiviteter", säger Janze. Användningen av online- och videomöten har varit huvudfunktionen för distansarbete de senaste månaderna. Enligt en gemensam studie utförd av Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) och den Tyska föreningen för personalhantering (DGFP) sa 93% av de tillfrågade företagen att de höll online- eller videokonferenser i princip hela tiden. Nästan två tredjedelar rapporterade att de nu även genomför personalutvärderingsmöten digitalt och 57% sa att de till och med använder videokonferenser för att intervjua arbetssökande. ”Distansarbete är här för att stanna och kommer att ligga till grund för den systematiska digitaliseringen av affärsprocesser och den digitala arbetsplatsen,” förutspår Janze. Han betonar också att den digitala arbetsplatsresan inte på något sätt har nått slutet, särskilt ur ett tekniskt perspektiv: ”Den digitala arbetsplatsen kommer inte bara i form av ny IT-infrastruktur som främjar samarbete, den understryker också behovet av en ny arkitektur.” Peter Janze har förmodligen rätt – distansarbete kommer att förbli populärt, även efter Coronapandemin. Människor som nu arbetar hemifrån är i stort sett mycket nöjda, trots vissa initiala bekymmer. Detta har bekräftats av ett antal undersökningar. Enligt en rapport från Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt), "finns det en mycket stark önskan att kunna arbeta hemifrån mer, där cirka 68% av de tillfrågade anställda sa att de ville arbeta hemifrån mer regelbundet efter Coronapandemin. ” This white paper highlights the strategies that companies can adopt to improve employee buy-in for the digital workplace and shows how they can get the most out of their digital workplace investments.    Andreas Plaul, chef för IT- och Kommunikationstjänster på Haufe-gruppen  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|Mobilt arbete är det nya normala h2|DIGITALA ARBETSPLATSER – EN DEL AV ETT ÖVERGRIPANDE KONCEPT ATT ARBETA HEMMA ELLER PÅ DISTANS ÄR HÄR FÖR ATT STANNA h3|Choose your region DIGITAL WORKPLACE: HOW YOU CAN INCREASE EMPLOYEE BUY-IN Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h6|Utifrån IT-chefers perspektiv sp|                                  pdf, 1 MB  pa|Dataplattformar tillåter oss att organisera och strukturera översvämningen av digital information på ett förnuftigt sätt när vi arbetar på distans. De gör det också möjligt för oss att arbeta i virtuella team över gränserna. Vart vi än befinner oss. Denna typ av flexibilitet är redan normen hos CHG-MERIDIAN, och varje dag lär vi oss något nytt. Ta reda på vad dataplattformar handlar om. Även den bästa teknikutrustningen är värdelös om du inte har full tillgång till data och inte kan kommunicera sömlöst med övriga företaget när du arbetar på distans. Den digitala arbetsplatsen innebär mer än bara att tillhandahålla mobila enheter- det handlar även om att skapa en miljö där de anställda får tillgång till all information och processer de behöver för att göra sitt arbete enkelt och framgångsrikt. Att göra denna miljö tillgänglig är bara en del av ekvationen; du måste också utbilda anställda i hur man använder virtuella plattformar för att kommunicera och dela information. Läs vidare för att lära dig mer om den dagliga digitaliseringen av distansarbetet hos CHG-MERIDIAN. Enligt resultaten från det senaste D21 Digital Index får 46 procent av de anställda en bärbar dator att arbeta med, men endast 16 procent har fjärråtkomst till sin data. Denna låga siffra blir en speciell utmaning när majoriteten av arbetskraften plötsligt måste arbeta hemifrån. Det finns olika sätt att ge anställda som arbetar på distans tillgång till företagsdata på distans. Ett alternativ kan vara att använda en VPN för att komma åt företagsservern. På CHG-MERIDIAN beslutade vi att använda en egen molntjänst. Vår molnbaserade desktoplösning gör det mycket lättare att arbeta genom att tillhandahålla en skrivbordsmiljö via internet till de anställdas IT-utrustning. Detta gör att vi kan skapa hela arbetsplatser i molnet som kan nås var som helst via en internetanslutning. För medarbetaren ser mjukvaran ut som deras vanliga dator på kontoret, även om den körs i ett centralt datacenter. Aspekten av datasäkerhet, autentisering och kryptering blir enormt viktig när anställda får åtkomst till företags- och kunddata från en rad enheter och platser. 2019, en studie av Bitkom Research på uppdrag av KPMG, är efterlevnad av GDPR det främsta kriteriet när man väljer en molnleverantör. Användning av olika samarbetsverktyg och virtuella möten blir allt viktigare, dock visar att tekniska problem kan försvåra användningen av dessa verktyg. När man frågar företag om vilka hinder de oftast stöter på vid implementering av olika samarbetsverktyg handlar det i stor utsträckning om bristen på resurser samt verktygsinkompatibilitet, det vill säga svårigheter med att integrera verktyg från olika leverantörer och säkra multimedietrafik (ljud, video, meddelanden). Det finns många samarbetsverktyg på marknaden, och de har alla sina fördelar och nackdelar. Prestanda och förmågan att integreras i det befintliga mjukvarulandskapet var viktiga faktorer för oss när vi valde en produkt, vilket var varför vi valde oss för Microsoft Teams från Office 365-sviten. Att välja korrekt verktyg för din verksamhet är bara början, eftersom du också behöver lära dig att samarbeta effektivt. Vi stöder proaktivt våra anställda i detta avseende och hjälper dem med frågor som ofta dyker upp, exempelvis hur växlar man mellan bildskärmar? Hur går man in i presentationsläget? Hur kan man överföra konferenssamtal från en smartphone till en stationära PC, eller tvärtom, utan att tappa anslutningen? När man diskuterar rätt plattformsstrategi för den digitala arbetsplatsen bör man även tänka på hur företagets anskaffnings- och servicehantering ska se ut och fungera. Frågor som kan vara bra att tänka på är hur man kommer att kunna beställa utrustning på distans? Vad händer om enheten går förlorad eller blir skadad? Hur kan ni se till att anställda kan fortsätta arbeta utan driftsstopp och inte är frustrerade av långa väntetider? På CHG-MERIDIAN har vi satt upp en egen självbetjäningsportal där varje anställd kan välja vilka mobila enheter de behöver precis som de är vana vid från stora, användarvänliga detaljhandelsplattformar. De kan också använda den för att begära en ersättningsenhet om deras har tappats eller är defekt. Vi har även sett till att utrustningen går att levereras till de anställdas hemadress. ”Alla som arbetar på distans har tillgång till ett omfattande service- och supportnätverk som sträcker sig över hela enhetens livslängd och uppfyller alla individuella krav. Vi tror att denna supportnivå är avgörande för anställdas acceptans och en positiv användarupplevelse. ” Service Design, CHG-MERIDIAN AG Att arbeta på distans är nu ett hett ämne. Men vad behöver du göra för att dina anställda ska kunna arbeta på distans utan problem? Läs vidare för att ta reda på hur vi på CHG-MERIDIAN implementerade den digitala arbetsplatsen och vilka element som var nyckeln till detta. Den digitala arbetsplatsen är en integrerad del av varje digitaliseringsstrategi och CHG-MERIDIAN är inget undantag. För att implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen framgångsrikt och optimera den på lång sikt tror vi att det finns tre faktorer som lyckat distansarbete är beroende av: tekniken, plattformen och - sist men inte minst - de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Ta reda på vad den teknologiska faktorn handlar om i den här artikeln. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. In comparison to classic financing, by relying on a payment method that is based on actual usage, companies can avoid high capital expenditure on IT equipment or on installing and running IT solutions and servers. Collaboration tools can link people and share knowledge across time zones and physical locations, making work more efficient and productive. But the prospective users have to be on board. Innovative tools and software components are worth nothing if the IT infrastructure behind them is not up to scratch. This white paper uses current examples to show how IT infrastructure can be a limiting factor and provides tips on how you can build an agile, flexible, and future-proof infrastructure tailored to your own specific requirements.

Eller att snabbt kunna anpassa produktionen till rådande efterfrågan på marknaden? Våra industrikonsulter hjälper er att minska kostnaderna under produktionsanläggningens och utrustningens hela livscykel. Oavsett om det handlar om komplexa monteringslinjer, CNC-fräsar eller arbetskläder samlar vi alla tekniska tillgångar i ett och samma avtal. Vi erbjuder skräddarsydda tjänster i samband med finansiering och hantering av teknisk utrustning under hela dess livslängd. Vi analyserar era tillverkningsprocesser, identifierar potentiella besparingsåtgärder och digitaliserar administrationen, allt med målet att minska kostnaderna för er. Våra tjänster ger er full överblick över produktionsanläggningens kostnadsstruktur, inklusive kostnader för service, underhåll och reservdelar samt total avkastning på den tekniska investeringen. Ni behåller kontrollen och kan fritt välja utrustning från olika tillverkare, även i kombination. I många fall kan vi minska kostnaderna med över 15 procent, vilket är ett skälen till att ledande globala tillverkningsföretag, bland annat inom bilindustrin valt att samarbeta med oss. Våra finansieringstjänster erbjuder en helt ny nivå av flexibilitet. De långa ledtiderna mellan order och produktionsstart, med höga initialkostnader och noll intäkter, i till exempel fordonsindustrin är ett välkänt problem som utsätter likviditeten för hög belastning. Vi erbjuder flexibla finansieringslösningar som hjälper er genom denna period, exempelvis pay-per-part, vilket innebär att ni betalar först när ni börjar generera intäkter. Eller med andra ord: Ni får avkastning från första producerade enhet. Genom denna och liknande finansieringstjänster ser vi till att ert kassaflöde alltid är positivt, även i samband med större investeringar i produktionsutrustning, eller om produktionstakten behöver anpassas till snabba svängningar i efterfrågan. Florian Orth, livscykelexpert på CHG-MERIDIAN, tipsar om hur ett företag kan nå större flexibilitet och lägre totala ägandekostnader (TCO) vid tillverkning. (text på Engelska) (text på Engelska) En betydande del av de mervärden vi skapar för våra kunder är ett resultat av vår expertis inom digitaliserade processer.

Tekniken och processerna som används är ofta avancerade, men ändå ligger prestanda och anställdas produktivitet fortfarande kvar på samma nivå som tidigare – och det blir tydligt hur viktigt det är att få de anställda ombord när det gäller en digital arbetskultur. Följande artikel belyser den nyckelroll som de anställda spelar i alla digitaliseringsstrategier. Nästan 75 procent av europeiska IT- och HR-chefer som deltog i PAC: s -undersökning tror att kvaliteten på arbetsmiljön kan vara avgörande för framgången för deras verksamhet. Men vad händer om arbetsmiljön förändras från en dag till en annan? Under de senaste veckorna har företagen arbetat platt för att möjliggöra distansbetet, och majoriteten av de anställda har varit tvungna att vänja sig till en ny arbetsplats och hemmakontoret. En sådan ändring är inte helt enkel för varje anställd, och många lämnas missnöjda snarare än entusiastiska. Vissa har svårt att vänja sig till det nya sättet att arbeta, andra säger att de saknar en känslomässig koppling. För de drabbade företagen kan detta ha en betydande inverkan om de tappar värdefull personal. Det finns många skäl för motstånd till förändring. Vissa människor närmar sig nya saker med skepsis och ser inte nödvändigtvis fördelarna med att ändra sättet de arbetar på. Vissa känner sig överväldigade eller lämnade att klara av sin nya arbetsmiljö ensam. Andra är rädda för att deras arbetsbelastning kommer att öka och oroar sig för att inte hinna med. Christian Bredlow, grundare och VD för byrån Digital Mindset, är väl medveten om vikten av att få arbetskraften ombord: ”Varje digital arbetsplats, varje socialt intranät och varje digitaliseringsprojekt kommer i slutändan att bedömas i vilken grad användarna välkomnar den nya plattformen. ” ”Att implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen framgångsrikt på lång sikt kräver investeringar i de anställdas digitala tankesätt – detta då tekniken bara är lika effektiv som de anställda som använder den. Enligt min mening är tre faktorer viktiga för att göra distansarbetet till en framgång: tekniken, plattformen och de anställda." Lukas Wojoczek Digital Workplace Sales, CHG-MERIDIAN AG När vi implementerade den nya strategin och den digitala arbetsplatsen på CHG-MERIDIAN, låg fokuset i början på våra anställda och deras individuella krav. Vi antog att övergången från den traditionella till den digitala arbetsplatsen skulle kräva en viss mängdträning och vi ville bekanta de anställda med den nya strategin och arbetssättet. Vårt huvudmål var att skapa en miljö där våra kollegor kunde lära sig att använda tekniken med förtroende och känna sig motiverade att arbeta. För att underlätta detta har vi infört en flexibel arbetstidsmodell som gör det möjligt för våra anställda att välja när och var de ska arbeta. Vi har också skapat interaktiva plattformar för e-lärande som erbjuder utbildning online, en FAQ och visar hur man kan skapa egna videos. Ett internt team modererar klasserna och är tillgängliga för att hjälpa via livechatt. Vi erbjuder fortfarande analoga alternativ för professionell utveckling, eftersom varje anställd har sin föredragna metod att lära sig. Förra året kom vi till exempel på idén om ett digitalt arbetsplatskafé där de anställda kan träffa våra digitala arbetsplatsexperter för en pratstund över en kopp te eller kaffe. Företag som vill påskynda digitala processer och förbättra sina affärsresultat bör hålla ett öga på arbetsplatsupplevelsen och därmed på deras anställdas motivation. I detta sammanhang menar vi värdet på den upplevelse som erbjuds av den digitala arbetsplatsen. Enligt psykologiprofessor inkluderar detta behovet av självbestämd handling (autonomi), för att uppleva något nytt (stimulering) och för respekt och uppskattning (popularitet). En bra användarupplevelse är en nyckelfaktor för att skapa värde och uppnå framgång. Företagsrådgivningen uppskattar att produktiviteten är 18 procent högre i företag med starka åtagandegrader, medan intäktsökningen är två och en halv gånger större och vinsterna är dubbelt så hög. Den avgörande faktorn för att uppnå en kontinuerlig och lyckad användarupplevelse för de anställda är en oavbruten kedja av upplevelser genom hela enhetens livscykel. Läs vidare för att lära dig hur detta kan fungera: För att skapa en solid grund för UX måste företag låta anställda välja sin utrustning från en fördefinierad kundvagn snarare än att tilldela hårdvara till dem. Trots allt vet de anställda bäst vilka enheter som är mest användbara för just deras arbetsuppgifter. Det enklaste och mest kostnadseffektiva sättet att göra detta är via en självbetjäningsportal med enskilda medarbetarkonton och en kundvagnsfunktion. Detta gör det möjligt för de anställda att konfigurera sin arbetsplats och beställa sin utrustning själva, öka användarnöjdheten och minska bördan på upphandling och IT. Att ge de anställda sin nya utrustning kan också göras till en upplevelse, till exempel genom att enheterna levereras i attraktiva förpackningar (unboxing-effekt) eller vid större lanseringar kan man anordna utrullningsevenemang. Om utrustningen inte är förkonfigurerad bör varje enhet vara enkel och snabb att installera. För att hjälpa de anställda att komma igång kan man skapa utbildningsvideor eller hjälpa till med automatiserad konfiguration via företagets desktop- eller företagsmobilitetslösningar. Att använda teknik kräver rätt kompetensuppsättning, och det finns ett konstant flöde av nya produkter på marknaden. Därför kan proaktivt erbjudande av tips och råd till anställda för att hjälpa till med sina dagliga uppgifter göra det lättare för dem att ta sig an den digitala arbetsplatsen. Hur växlar jag mellan bildskärmar? Hur går jag in i presentationsläget? Hur kan jag överföra konferenssamtal från min smartphone till min stationära PC, eller tvärtom, utan att tappa anslutningen? Det finns många sätt att dela sådan information på, exempelvis via kunskapsportaler, nyhetsbrev, podcast eller via temahändelser. Anställda vill arbeta med utrustning som passar deras uppgifter, och de förväntar sig också att deras affärsenheter är minst lika tekniskt avancerade som deras personliga (Unisys). Det är därför det är viktigt att den digitala arbetsplatsen flexibelt kan utökas, modifieras och moderniseras, till exempel genom programuppdateringar eller program/mjukvara som enkelt går att ladda ner till den nuvarande enheten. Att informera de anställda om nya tillgängliga uppdateringar ökar ytterligare nöjdhetsnivån Att arbeta på distans är nu ett hett ämne. Men vad behöver du göra för att dina anställda ska kunna arbeta på distans utan problem? Läs vidare för att ta reda på hur vi på CHG-MERIDIAN implementerade den digitala arbetsplatsen och vilka element som var nyckeln till detta. Den digitala arbetsplatsen är en integrerad del av varje digitaliseringsstrategi och CHG-MERIDIAN är inget undantag. För att implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen framgångsrikt och optimera den på lång sikt tror vi att det finns tre faktorer som påverkar kvaliteten på distansarbetet: tekniken, plattformen och - sist men inte minst - de anställdas digitala tankesätt. Ta reda på vad den tekniska faktorn handlar om i den här artikeln. Dataplattformar tillåter oss att organisera och strukturera översvämningen av digital information på ett förnuftigt sätt när vi arbetar på distans. De gör det också möjligt för oss att arbeta i virtuella team över gränserna. Vart vi än befinner oss. Denna typ av flexibilitet är redan normen hos CHG-MERIDIAN, och varje dag lär vi oss något nytt. Ta reda på vad dataplattformar handlar om.

CHG-MERIDIAN provided all the necessary expertise and created a customized business concept. In the school’s large learning lab the word ‘quiet’ is splashed across one wall in ten languages, on the opposite wall a Chinese proverb is writ large: “When the wind of change blows, some build walls while others build windmills.” The municipal authority of Bad Rappenau built ‘windmills’ with support from CHG-MERIDIAN. The finance and technology management company won the contract in April 2014 for the project – put out to tender across Europe – of providing a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure, including administration systems, for the school. It is a showpiece project that points to the future, and it has been flexibly adapted to the and the required computing power. “This project is so exciting for us because we can provide a variety of services. These include advice on the sourcing of hardware, software distribution, rollout and installation of equipment, TÜV-certified data erasure with , IT support, financing, and support for the project partner throughout the project,” says Wolfgang Huber, Key Account Manager at CHG-MERIDIAN. “The project is very extensive and complex,” adds Michael Grubbe, Head of IT at the municipal authority of Bad Rappenau. Regarding the complexity he adds: “An all-day school such as Verbundschule Bad Rappenau has specific IT needs. The school is undergoing a permanent process of change.” After all, student numbers are no longer predictable because primary schools’ recommendations about the type of secondary school children should attend are now not binding. This means the municipal authority can no longer estimate how its IT needs will develop. “It was a big challenge for us to calculate the right amount of equipment,” Key Account Manager Wolfgang Huber explains. The flexible contract with CHG-MERIDIAN allows for adjustments to the number of assets to match requirements. Huber emphasizes: “The municipal authority can increase or decrease the number of assets at any time up to the end of the 60-month term. If the number of students falls, and we need to take back assets early, then we can remarket these elsewhere.” The municipal authority in Bad Rappenau values this highly. “The flexibility that the contract provides is very important to us. It is the icing on the cake,” says Grubbe of the modern IT solution. First of all, existing fat clients were replaced with quiet thin clients and all monitors were replaced with new energy-efficient TFTs to reduce noise in the teaching areas. New projectors and printers were also installed. As the single point of contact, CHG-MERIDIAN steered and managed all processes of the . It also acted as project manager to coordinate a project team consisting of a systems house and several service providers, such as software and phone system vendors. A further element of the project was the installation of the server room, including a management server, a storage unit, a server farm, and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The server room also houses the school’s new phone system and the DSL line. The switch to a new phone system, bringing together the phone numbers of all schools at the site, was carried out as a subproject. As part of the project the switches and network cables in the other buildings of the main campus were renewed, so that all buildings have high-speed access to the central system. A small back-up system with a UPS was also set up. The entire infrastructure – server, phone system, back up, and UPS – can be scaled up or down at any time to match the number of students. The comprehensive reconfiguration of the IT infrastructure at Verbundschule Bad Rappenau is a great example of a groundbreaking pilot project from CHG-MERIDIAN that can be easily applied to other schools. “I had expected more problems. It was hassle-free, and every project step ran smoothly despite everything having to be carried out during the school holidays. The teamwork on the school’s project was very professional and customer-oriented. From a contractual point of view the project is highly complex, but we are very satisfied with the implementation and handling, which was in no small part down to CHG-MERIDIAN’s lack of bureaucracy,” said Grubbe. Yvonne Geier, deputy head at the school, is also satisfied: “Everything is very stable, the technology is very reliable. And that is of course very important to the running of the school. It’s also great that we can restrict access to the system to certain departments or individual students, as it allows us to have children of all levels and from all classes sitting, working, and learning side by side.” Huber adds: “We would like to use this model, which we were able to implement with the right service providers, in the future for other municipalities. Individual requirements can be adapted at any time, of course.” Many schools often find the inflexible and cost-intensive approaches to new IT solutions prohibitive. At Verbundschule Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN has managed to find the best custom solution and financing option – and its independence from banks, manufacturers, and service providers has been a key element in this. Thanks to the expertise gained from the successful implementation in Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN now has the tools to establish state-of-the-art, IT-based learning environments that support media literacy in an appealing way at other schools. * Source: Arbeitsbericht des Büros für Technikfolgen-Abschätzung beim Deutschen Bundestag [Report of the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag], 2007. ** Source: Study by the Allensbach Institute, 2013.      WOLFGANG HUBER, KEY ACCOUNT MANAGER AT CHG-MERIDIAN  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Verbundschule Bad Rappenau was established in the 2013/2014 academic year and combines a primary school with several types of secondary school* In total there are around 1,200 students and more than 100 teachers.

CHG-MERIDIAN is a strong and committed partner of these charitable organizations. The information available on the internet is the key to education, communication, and a better future for school children in Kenya. Thousands of miles away, Barbara Toorens is director of external relations at the Belgian aid organization Close the Gap (CtG). “Access to computers and the internet can open up the world to these people,” she explains. Without CtG the school would probably still not have any high-grade computers. The term used for this invisible border between societies who have ready access to digital resources, and those who do not, is ‘digital divide’. CtG aims to overcome these borders sustainably with the help of technology donations from European companies to non-profit projects in developing countries. CHG-MERIDIAN supports this with , such as those for customers in Belgium and Luxembourg, where new communications technology purchases are combined with the donation of old IT equipment for re-use in Africa, Asia and South America. Deloitte Belgium decided to do this when it invested in 3,000 iPhones. “Social responsibility is a value that is deeply enshrined in our corporate culture,” says Guy Lucq, Chief Information Officer at Deloitte in Brussels. With the help of CHG-MERIDIAN, Deloitte bought a certificate for each new device to confirm that decommissioned in Burundi, a process handled by CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop. Guy Lucq continues: “By renewing our communications technology in this way, we are ensuring that more than 20,000 old cellphones enter the material cycle in Africa responsibly.” CHG-MERIDIAN made certain that the process was smooth, transparent, and fast. Stefan Ertel, Executive Vice President at CHG-MERIDIAN, says: “There is an increasing number of companies that want to actively engage as corporate citizens, but many of them lack the structures that would enable them to firmly integrate corporate social responsibility activities into their business models.” CHG-MERIDIAN filled this gap in 2013. Since then, customers obtaining new hardware through the Belgian subsidiary have been able to arrange for its reuse at the end of the period of use. Ertel adds: “What is unique is that we have successfully virtualized these processes – and we are the first technology management provider worldwide to do so.” This also applies to the procurement of regular IT equipment. For example, when obtaining finance for new laptops, customers can donate some or all of the used equipment to CtG on the basis of the equipment’s projected fair value. Or they can combine their investment with the purchase of recycling certificates. With every project it has run since 2003, CtG has demonstrated the huge potential of donations. By 2014 the aid organization had collected around a quarter of a million donated computers, supporting nearly 3,500 projects in over 50 countries. Environmentally friendly recycling of used equipment also requires clear structures, as the stripping of electronic waste, which can be hazardous to humans and the environment, is widespread in Africa and Asia. This is where CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop comes in. The certificates bought by donors ensure that recycling is carried out to the highest standards. Local start-ups and specialist waste management companies in Europe work hand in hand to make valuable materials in the equipment – which can amount to small fortunes – re-usable. Security is crucial when donating company IT equipment to aid organizations, as the protection of sensitive data must be guaranteed. CHG-MERIDIAN’s program offers certified data erasure to match customer needs at the end of the period of use. The erasure solutions are fully certified, including by the TÜV product standards regulator and DEKRA. Every year, hundreds of thousands of assets are prepared for re-use after the end of their leasing period, including around 100,000 erasures, at CHG-MERIDIAN’s Technology and Service Center in Germany. Deloitte plans to continue supporting aid projects through its IT donations, however, standard solutions are not being considered. From a business point of view, it is imperative to evaluate each case individually. “That’s why we need flexibility. And our long-standing business partner CHG-MERIDIAN offered us exactly this flexibility in this project,” says Lucq. CHG-MERIDIAN is a leader in the market thanks to this innovative business model. Following a successful pilot the corporate social responsibility service will be rolled out in other countries, and there is a lot of interest across Europe. “The potential for such processes is huge,” says Stefan Ertel. And this also applies to other capital assets that could be donated at the end of their period of use. European companies donate technology for a good cause: CHG-MERIDIAN offers its customers intelligent solutions to support their socially and ecologically sensible aid projects at Close the Gap and WorldLoop.      Deloitte’s CIO, Guy Lucq li|menu not loaded Digital divide is the term used to describe the gap between people with full access to the digital world and those who remain mainly cut off from it. It affects countries and entire regions, for example East Africa, but also parts of society in western industrialized countries. Close the Gap was founded in 2003 as a student project at the University of Brussels. The idea is to take donations of high-grade used computers from European companies and use them to support educational and social projects, particularly in East Africa. Promotes economic and social development, especially in rural areas, in developing and newly industrialized countries. Close the Gap supports aid projects in over 50 countries worldwide. WorldLoop was founded as a sister organization to Close the Gap in 2008. Its purpose is to promote the establishment of small companies in developing countries that specialize in the responsible recycling of old computers and communications technology. A further objective is to contain the widespread stripping of electronic waste, which is hazardous to human health and the environment. h1|PROVIDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES h2|More than just a website Recycling combined with a strong sense of responsibility Aid projects that promote independence in local markets Security, trust, and future success are closely connected CHG-Meridian Close the gap Facts on the digital divide, Close the Gap, and WorldLoop h3|Choose your region Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                  Image 1 / 4 Image 2 / 4 Image 3 / 4 Image 4 / 4    pa|TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT AT HSM HSM GmbH + CO. KG, based in Frickingen, is an innovative market leader for office and environmental technology. CHG-MERIDIAN has made its internal IT processes fully future-proof and provided cost transparency. Efficient technology management is particularly important to Matthias Wochner, Managing Director at HSM. As he is responsible for finance, sales, and marketing he considers it essential to the company’s continued business success and growth. The extensive range of inhouse technologies relating to IT and production is one of the main pillars of HSM’s unique selling proposition. “Our manufacturing depth, with extensive machinery and equipment available inhouse, is what distinguishes us from most of our competitors. This means we are very flexible when dealing with our customers’ requirements, something that is very important with regard not only to large-scale equipment but also to specialized devices. Public-sector customers – such as government authorities – are a good example because they always stipulate very specific requirements.” One of the elements of this strategy is the restructuring of at HSM in the Managed Print Services project, which focused on all of the printers, photocopiers, scanners, and fax machines used in the company. The overarching aim was to increase their efficiency in terms of environmental impact and financial cost. This is where the independent experts from CHG-MERIDIAN came in, as partners for efficient technology management. Beforehand, HSM’s IT department had analyzed the company’s needs so that its future printing infrastructure requirements could be defined in detail. CHG-MERIDIAN helped to plan the new infrastructure and prepare the subsequent call for tenders. The defined requirements were demanding. For example, the devices and a 24-hour support service have to be available at all times, not only in Germany but also at HSM’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and the USA. The list of requirements included a 20 percent decrease in running costs, greater energy efficiency for the devices, and automated transmission of information to enable the replacement and billing of consumables. After the requirements analysis and request-for-proposal consulting, the main strategic assistance that CHG-MERIDIAN provided to HSM related to the development of efficient and flexible customized business concepts. The consolidation process led to the number of end devices at HSM being reduced from 150 to 90, a decrease of around 40 percent. Combined with the reduction in the operating costs of the individual devices, monthly costs fell by an impressive 50 percent despite the printing volume remaining unchanged, meaning the actual cost saving was significantly higher than the targeted 20 percent. This impressive feat was achieved by providing the best possible terms, reducing running costs, and using fewer devices. A further advantage of HSM’s manufacturing depth is the sheer breadth of the high-quality product portfolio. As Wochner explains: “This enables us to operate in all kinds of sales channels, from small devices sold online to maximum-security equipment and large machinery developed for specific projects. And between these extremes, we can exploit the fluid boundaries between our product categories to always offer our customers the HSM product that best meets their needs.” Wochner adds: “One of the main challenges for the future is the increasing complexity of business decisions and processes. It’s not always easy to deal with these complexities in a company of our size.” An expanding medium-sized business with global operations, HSM now exports 72 percent of its products to international markets, which are very fast-paced and subject to very different laws and regulations. Given its successful growth, HSM has therefore teamed up with CHG-MERIDIAN to take a closer look at its internal structures and processes. technology and service management system. The system has been customized so that specially defined shopping carts containing the necessary IT assets are available for each HSM location – with uniform terms and conditions worldwide and the same high quality and service level. This is where economies of scale and far greater transparency really come to bear: “This has a direct monetary effect for us but also makes the administration much more straightforward,” says Thorsten Schäfer, IT manager at HSM. “Such structures are entirely normal in a large company but not so in a medium-sized business like HSM. CHG-MERIDIAN was the ideal partner for us because it doesn’t just cover the funding; it’s also a single source of support for the entire technology lifecycle. What’s more, it provides the international structures that are so important to us, i.e. global availability without international billing.” The Managed Print Services project is just the first step in further cooperation with CHG-MERIDIAN on the restructuring of IT and technology management at HSM. Other initiatives will have the same aim: reducing complexity and using the company’s resources even more efficiently so that they can be targeted in areas where they will harness potential for growth in relation to customers, markets, and products. The example of HSM impressively demonstrates how CHG-Meridian achieves maximum efficiency for financial and operational spending thanks to its in-depth understanding of capital expenditure at every stage of the technology lifecycle.       EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Company: Hermann Schwelling Maschinenbau GmbH + Co.

In Switzerland, CHG-MERIDIAN has realized an innovative outsourcing idea for British American Tobacco. In Switzerland, British American Tobacco, one of the largest tobacco companies in the world, regularly needs to supply 5,000 vending machines with tobacco products and other consumer goods. “Managing our base of vending machines was time-consuming. We had to spend administrative time on operational activities that are not part of our core business,” explains Zoltan Hutkai, Corporate Finance Manager at British American Tobacco Switzerland. Then there was the additional challenge of upgrading all 5,000 vending machines with new readers to cope with the latest Swiss banknotes. This required major capital investment. In close collaboration with Deutsche Post subsidiary DHL Switzerland, which handles the logistics and upgrading aspects, CHG-MERIDIAN developed a concept for the efficient management of the vending machines. Newly fitted sensors allow DHL drivers to supply the machines with tobacco products as required, i.e. just in time. As a result, the management at British American Tobacco enjoys increased profits and benefits from modernized machine technology – as well as satisfied customers. CHG-MERIDIAN also acquired all of the tobacco company’s vending machines in Switzerland and leased them back to British American Tobacco, thereby improving their budget position. The agreed monthly service and lease payments include all costs incurred (e.g. installation, storage and delivery, repairs, and upgrades). This has significantly reduced expense and risk for British American Tobacco, while at the same time the regular payments are making costs clearer and more predictable.    Zoltan Hutkai, Corporate Finance Manager atBritish American Tobacco Schweiz  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|REDUCING BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO’S LOGISTICAL AND FINANCIAL BURDEN h3|Choose your region A logistical challenge Logistics and financing – a solution based on a well-designed concept Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                 pa|Vårt samhälle har levt bortom sina resurser i årtionden. Huruvida coronapandemin kommer att övertala oss att använda resurser mer ansvarsfullt och gå bort från det linjära systemet beror till viss del på hur kostnadseffektiva alternativen är. När man jämför den globala användningen av biologiska resurser med jordens förmåga att förnya dem, blir det snabbt klart att människor lever långt bortom sina resurser. Enligt experterna från Global Footprint Network skulle mänskligheten behöva planeter för att leva hållbart. Denna obalans framhävs av Earth Overshoot Day som markerar dagen på året då mänsklig efterfrågan på förnybara resurser överstiger jordens förmåga att reproducera dem. År 2019 hade jordens ”budget” redan använts i mitten av året. År 2020 beräknades datumet vara 22 augusti, tre veckor senare än 2019. Anledningen är att de globala koldioxidutsläppen minskat med från föregående år, vilket främst beror på COVID-19-pandemin och de enorma begränsningar som har införts. Trots att pandemins miljöpåverkan bara kan pågå under en , väcker den ekonomiska retardationen som pandemin medfört många frågor för företag. Man har börjat se över de faktiska behoven av exempelvis flygresor och fysiska möten. Tröga försörjningskedjor och produktionsflaskhalsar har intensifierat debatten om framtiden för vårt linjära handelssystem. Den som letar efter hållbara alternativ kommer att finna att det redan finns beprövade lösningar på marknaden, exempelvis de som erbjuds av CHG-MERIDIAN. På CHG har man följt principerna för den cirkulära ekonomin i mer än 40 år genom att fokusera på återanvändning av produkter och IT-utrustning och förlänga dess livscykel. “Hantering av hela livscykeln från början till slut har alltid varit kärnan i vår affärsmodell. Vi stöder våra kunder från inköp av deras utrustning och dess användning hela vägen till dess hållbara renovering och remarketing", säger Matthias Steybe, Group Sustainability Officer på CHG-MERIDIAN. I synnerhet tekniksektorn kännetecknas av mycket korta livscykler, men även här är hållbara idéer genomförbara och ekonomiskt attraktiva. „Våra kunder kan inte bara spara kostnader genom intelligent IT-upphandling, de kan även agera mer resurseffektivt och hållbart.“ The intelligent procurement, use, and remarketing of IT equipment allows companies to cut costs and be more resource-efficient and sustainable. This is a competitive factor that is growing in importance. Read more in the Whitepaper. CHG-MERIDIANs egna teknikcenter i är bra exempel på hur professionell livscykelhantering sker i praktiken. Varje år genomgår nästan 500 000 IT-enheter, som smartphones, bärbara datorer och skrivare, kosmetisk och teknisk renovering. Där säkerställs att all data raderas på ett säkert sätt efter användningen så att utrustningen kan säljas vidare på andrahandsmarknaden. Ytterligare 200 000 enheter renoveras till högsta standard genom vårt globala nätverk av certifierade partners. Sammantaget renoveras 95 procent av tillgångarna. Alla enheter som inte längre kan användas återvinns hållbart och professionellt och råvarorna återförs till materialcykeln. Av all returnerad utrustning till CHG-MERIDIAN fick ett andra liv. Enheter renoverades och såldes vidare. Enheter raderades genom certifierad dataraderingsprocess. Det är inte längre ägandet av utrustning som skapar värde utan dess användning. Därför erbjuder CHG-MERIDIAN . Leasing hjälper till att implementera innovationer snabbare och underlättar ett mer effektivt införande av nya resurseffektiva metoder för användning av teknik. „Om utrustning kan användas en andra cykel, istället för att kasseras efter användning, minskar behovet av ny utrustning. Detta har stora fördelar för miljön, eftersom stora mängder råvaror behövs för att producera en bärbar dator eller smartphone", säger Steybe. Experter är överens om att utan COVID-19-pandemin skulle Earth Overshoot Day i år ha skett tidigare. Den bakåtgående trenden för just i år bör inte tas för givet, utan man bör snarare se det som ett incitament till att göra mer i framtiden för att skydda våra begränsade resurser och etablera nya former av affärer. "Våra kunder kan inte bara spara kostnader genom intelligent IT-upphandling, de kan även agera mer resurseffektivt och hållbart“ Matthias Steybe, Group Sustainability Officer, ansvarig för hållbarhetshantering vid CHG-MERIDIAN-koncernen sedan juli 2020.    Kontakta oss  Siffror för End-of-Life tjänster 2019:  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 Please contact us!

Hundreds of industrial trucks are in continuous operation in its paper and pulp production plants. CHG-MERIDIAN conducted a fleet and TCO analysis for Mondi so that it could procure the right industrial trucks. When it came to the procurement of industrial trucks, Mondi lacked a benchmark for the total costs of ownership. This made it hard for the company to work out which product was actually the most effective for their particular needs from an overall cost and efficiency perspective. The information that the manufacturers provide, for example on fuel consumption and the turning radius, isn’t enough to draw any valid conclusions that might justify one set of procurement costs over another. But how can the different investment costs and total cost of ownership be compared? CHG-MERIDIAN produced a fleet TCO analysis in which it used a productivity test to compare different makes of the same truck type. At the pilot site in Poland, the test trucks were equipped with sensors designed to track their performance and operating data for subsequent analysis. “The test drivers had to complete the kind of loading and unloading jobs that they would normally be expected to do for the company – as quickly as possible and at the same frequency. During the test drives, the team collected data on loading/unloading performance, productivity, and handling for subsequent evaluation and TCO analysis. This revealed differences between the investment costs for the different makes. Mondi received a detailed decision-making matrix that helped it to weigh up the acquisition costs in relation to, for example, the optimum useful life, the replacement cycles, and the finance model. Thanks to the new decision-making matrix, the management team at Mondi now knows what the price differences need to be for the purchasing department to be able to justify opting for a brand that is 20 percent more expensive because it can show that the investment will pay off in terms of total cost of ownership.

CHG-MERIDIAN helped the company to develop and implement customized manufacturing processes and optimize its IT infrastructure. SISAMEX is a leading global manufacturer of automotive components for commercial vehicles based in Escobedo, Nuevo León, Mexico. The company, which is jointly owned by Quimmco and Meritor Inc., makes axles, brakes, and related components for trucks and agricultural machinery. It currently employs around 2,000 people and counts John Deere, Magna, Freightliner, and Caterpillar among its customers. Innovations are a key element of SISAMEX’s success. For over 30 years, the company has specialized in identifying opportunities and developing ideas, and translating them into products, workflows, and marketable solutions. As part of its ongoing innovation program, the commercial vehicle supplier commissioned CHG-MERIDIAN to develop a custom solution for the integration of new technologies into its industrial production. The aim was to make efficiency gains in two important production steps: the smelting of materials and the subsequent manufacture of metal parts for the high-precision components sold to SISAMEX customers. CHG-MERIDIAN helped SISAMEX to integrate cutting-edge technology into its production lines and improve its IT infrastructure, IT administration, and IT management. The team at CHG-MERIDIAN managed all import processes, the administration of customs documents, and the delivery of the project. The team used the TESMA® platform to provide a clear timeline and input/output data, and made all of the information available in real time. CHG-MERIDIAN’s agile business model allowed SISAMEX to deal with a single source for the procurement, financing, and operation of the latest technologies in production and IT. All workflows in production and IT were optimized as part of this process. Better interaction between business units has already improved their performance and results, which has had a positive effect on overall operating profit. This holistic approach had a further, compelling advantage: Instead of dealing with a range of service providers, managers at SISAMEX had a single point of contact who took care of everything. The experts at CHG-MERIDIAN also provided support with importing the high-tech equipment, which involved a lot of red tape and complex logistics. “We are very happy to be working hand in hand with CHG-MERIDIAN,” said Pedro Jesús Vota, Treasury Director at SISAMEX. “This project has helped us to identify the specific requirements and demands that our company makes of its technical infrastructure.

Tillverkningsindustrin står inför många utmaningar, till exempel fluktuerande kapacitetsutnyttjande, strukturförändringar etc. Ett centralt inslag i dessa förändringar är önskan om mer flexibilitet, både när det gäller utrustning - maskiner, robotar, transportband och till och med hela produktionslinjer - och finansieringslösningen. Även en långsiktig minskning av TCO ligger högt upp på många företags önskelistor. Men hur går dessa krav ihop? Och hur kan de mötas? Florian Orth, från CHG-MERIDIAN, och hans team stöder marknadsledare inom fordons- och logistiksektorn runt om i världen. Coronaviruspandemin har orsakat betydande omvälvningar på mycket kort tid. Distansarbete har till exempel blivit normen för många, vilket har gjort pappersbaserade administrativa processer mer komplicerade och pressat dem till sina gränser. Tänk bara på en enkel process som att underteckna ett avtal. Sedan finns det kapacitetsutnyttjandet, som har fluktuerat betydligt mellan sektorer. Det är därför ingen överraskning att för många företag är det högsta prioritet att se till att de har tillräcklig med likviditet. Och detta är en utmaning, särskilt eftersom produktionsanläggningar ofta hyrs ut och fasta hyresbetalningar måste betalas. Vi ser efterfrågan på flexibla finansieringsalternativ växa varje dag. Flexibla finansieringstjänster som kan hjälpa företag att anpassa sig till den nuvarande situationen är en lösning. Om vi ​​till exempel känner till kapacitetsutnyttjandet av en maskin eller produktionslinje kan vi minska hyresavbetalningen och istället förlänga hyresperioden. Med andra ord kan vi samarbeta med våra kunder för att ändra strukturen i kontraktet så att det bättre passar deras behov. Ett annat tillvägagångssätt är Pay-per-use, där fakturering baseras på användning, till exempel de timmar en maskin är online. Kunden betalar bara för den tid som maskinen faktiskt är igång, vilket gör att fluktuerande kapacitetsutnyttjande är ett mindre problem. Eller ta investeringar i utrustning, till exempel nya produktionsanläggningar. Detta medför ofta höga investeringar, till exempel i nya robotar, cellulära transportsystem eller anpassningsbara portaler. Långa förskottsfinansieringsfaser är också ett problem för billeverantörer, eftersom det kan gå mycket tid mellan att skriva ett kontrakt och påbörja produktionen. Med en Pay-per-use lösning tar vi denna kostnad tills produktionen är igång och intäkterna kommer in. Eller för att uttrycka det på ett annat sätt, ROI börjar med den första tillverkade komponenten. Behöver logistikverksamheten på företaget effektiviseras? Eller kostnaderna i högre grad anpassas till resursutnyttjandet? Vill du optimera dina internationella logistikprocesser? Industrial Technology: A unique combination of technical expertise with financial engineering - watch now! I slutändan handlar det om att föra in processer i den digitala tidsåldern. Ju mer omfattande de digitaliseras, desto bättre. Ett exempel är införandet av digital signering, som gör det möjligt att underteckna kontrakt var som helst, oavsett om man är hemma eller på kontoret, helt juridiskt bindande, utan penna eller papper. Ännu större potential för optimering och besparingar ligger i den allmänna effektiviseringen av administrativa processer. Ta heterogena hanteringssystem - att hantera ett brett utbud av tillgångar, modeller och tillverkare kan snabbt binda upp mycket resurser. Det finns enorm potential för optimering här, till exempel genom att standardisera kontrakt och minska antalet kontakter till en. Vi kan uppnå detta i internationell skala. Detta minskar det administrativa arbetet enormt och påskyndar processerna, samtidigt som våra kunders arbete blir enklare och sparar interna resurser. Nyckeln här är full kostnadsredovisning som är så transparent som möjligt, baserat på finansiell expertis och många års erfarenhet inom sektorn. På CHG-MERIDIAN börjar vi med att bryta ner våra kunders produktionsprocesser och identifiera kostnader och potentiella besparingar. Detta ger en helt transparent översikt över kostnadsstrukturen för deras produktionsanläggningar, inklusive servicekostnader, andelen kostnader som reservdelar redovisar och den totala avkastningen på investeringen. Vi tar fram en skräddarsydd lösning som uppfyller våra kunders behov och är så kostnadseffektiva som möjligt. Målet är alltid att uppnå större transparens om de totala kostnaderna, eftersom detta sedan kan översättas till permanent reducerad TCO. Potentiella kostnadsbesparingar på upp till 15 procent är möjliga.     EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|Öka flexibiliteten, minska de totala kostnaderna h3|Choose your region Herr Orth, du arbetar med dina kunder för att hantera de aktuella utmaningarna.

Men de senaste digitala arbetsplatskoncepten kan hjälpa er med att ge transparens. Vad är företagets totala IT-kostnader? Bara få budgetinnehavare kan svara på den frågan. Självklart kan priser jämföras vid inköpstidpunkten och support- och underhållsavtal kan avtalas för att täcka en del av driftskostnaderna. Men finns det flera frågor som gör det svårare att beräkna den totala ägandekostnaden (TCO) för en enhet: 1. Tänk på hela livscykeln: Varje tillgång går genom typiska livscykelfaser, från upphandling och utrullning till faktisk användning och avskaffning eller remarketing. Endast genom att ta hänsyn till, och planera för hela livscykeln kan du fatta hållbara budgetbeslut. 2. Tänk på hela arbetsplatsen: Smartphones, surfplatta, bärbar datorer, PC - anställdas digitala arbetsplats består ofta av en rad enheter med egna anskaffnings-, utrullnings- och underhållsprocesser. Hur mycket och hur länge varje enhet används är ofta okänt. En realistisk analys av TCO för en digital arbetsplats kräver en helhetssyn på den anställdas IT-utrustning och dess användning. Detta är det enda sättet att avgöra om det är mer kostnadseffektivt att köpa eller välja en kundanpassad helhetslösning utifrån era behov. 3. Arbeta med rätt tjänsteleverantör: Som regel säljer tillverkare och tjänsteleverantörer utrustning och avtalar avtal som ger dem de bästa marginalerna. Dessutom tar de ofta bara hänsyn till isolerade aspekter av den digitala arbetsplatsen, vilket väcker frågan om deras rekommendationer och erbjudanden faktiskt passar bäst för dina individuella behov och om upphandlings- och användningsmodellen kommer att löna sig. IT-avdelningarna på dagens företag är ofta överbelastade och för en kamp mot klockan på grund av ständigt nya krav och att nya typer av enheter tillkommer med allt kortare intervall. Under sådana omständigheter kan det vara svårt att hinna med att hantera infrastrukturen på ett effektivt sätt.

The mandatory introduction of electronic patient records was a huge challenge for a hospital with an already limited investment budget. Fortunately, CHG-MERIDIAN developed a future-proof solution for North Bay Hospital. Like many other hospitals in Canada, North Bay Hospital was faced with the challenge of upgrading its outdated equipment and its largely aging infrastructure on a tight budget. “Across Ontario, hospitals are under huge financial pressure,” says Paul Valenti, Manager of Purchasing and Contracts at North Bay. “We purchased new equipment when we moved into a new building in 2011, but due to the limited investment budget we were forced to keep it beyond its useful life.” Technology is evolving at a rapid place, particularly in the healthcare sector. Where the lifetime of technology could once reach up to twelve years, it is now only five years. North Bay Hospital’s budget came under increased pressure as the switch to electronic patient records approached. “Many Canadian hospitals were having budget issues when it came to implementing electronic patient records,” says Guy Poirier, Head of Canadian Healthcare at CHG-MERIDIAN. “The four large hospitals in the northern region, of which North Bay is one, had to cover the bulk of the project’s funding at a cost of $120 million. It is almost impossible to find an additional $30 million in regions with only a very small population.” In 2016, CHG-MERIDIAN embarked on an in-depth analysis of the medical and technical infrastructure at North Bay Hospital. Working closely with finance, operations, clinical teams, and medical staff, the company looked at the various equipment types in detail. “There was an active exchange of information about the estimated useful life of equipment, and about how maintenance costs for certain device categories, for example, will develop,” says Poirier. This in-depth dialog played a key role in identifying the areas where change was needed most. It became clear that there was a requirement for reliable asset management that considers the entire lifecycle from procurement to potential remarketing. “This is where we were able to bring all of our expertise to bear. We also increased the customer’s trust in us by not merely introducing our own TESMA technology management system but also testing the suitability of other asset management platforms on the market,” says Poirier. CHG-MERIDIAN was also able to apply its expertise in the implementation of tracking activities and the resulting process changes, and identified and recommended experts to assist with complex liability matters. Using priority lists, CHG-MERIDIAN then worked with the finance and procurement departments and the clinical committees to determine which equipment should be financed in which way. Dividing the assets into different categories made it clearer which ones should be purchased and which should be leased. Poirier and his colleagues also carried out a lease-versus-buy analysis to calculate the expected leasing costs. After nine months, they prepared the request for proposal (RFP) for financing all of the devices and asked bidders to categorize these by their expected lifecycles. Paul Valenti believes that the support from CHG-MERIDIAN has made North Bay Hospital much more flexible as well as providing greater transparency in asset procurement and management. When the healthcare technology comes to the end of its useful life, management now have the option to return it, upgrade it, or carry on using it. “CHG-MERIDIAN has given us the tools we need to calculate the costs at the end of the term. We can lease a piece of equipment for five years and decide at the end of the term whether to continue leasing it, to buy it, or to return it. This gives us far greater flexibility,” says Valenti. A further advantage he believes should not be underestimated is that all services and equipment are handled exclusively by the experts at CHG-MERIDIAN. “This has a positive impact on the price and avoids having to deal with ten different companies, invoice formats, and expiry dates. And we can build up a relationship,” he adds. The management of technology over the entire lifecycle not only has monetary benefits but also increases – and this is the main objective of North Bay Hospital’s management team – the quality of care provided. Endoscopes are a good example: “Because we are now leasing our endoscopic equipment, we can replace it all in one go after trialing a new model, rather than buying just a few new devices every year. We are upgrading all of our equipment, which improves our ability to diagnose cancer, for example,” Valenti says with a smile.

CHG-MERIDIAN provided all the necessary expertise and created a customized business concept. In the school’s large learning lab the word ‘quiet’ is splashed across one wall in ten languages, on the opposite wall a Chinese proverb is writ large: “When the wind of change blows, some build walls while others build windmills.” The municipal authority of Bad Rappenau built ‘windmills’ with support from CHG-MERIDIAN. The finance and technology management company won the contract in April 2014 for the project – put out to tender across Europe – of providing a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure, including administration systems, for the school. It is a showpiece project that points to the future, and it has been flexibly adapted to the and the required computing power. “This project is so exciting for us because we can provide a variety of services. These include advice on the sourcing of hardware, software distribution, rollout and installation of equipment, TÜV-certified data erasure with , IT support, financing, and support for the project partner throughout the project,” says Wolfgang Huber, Key Account Manager at CHG-MERIDIAN. “The project is very extensive and complex,” adds Michael Grubbe, Head of IT at the municipal authority of Bad Rappenau. Regarding the complexity he adds: “An all-day school such as Verbundschule Bad Rappenau has specific IT needs. The school is undergoing a permanent process of change.” After all, student numbers are no longer predictable because primary schools’ recommendations about the type of secondary school children should attend are now not binding. This means the municipal authority can no longer estimate how its IT needs will develop. “It was a big challenge for us to calculate the right amount of equipment,” Key Account Manager Wolfgang Huber explains. The flexible contract with CHG-MERIDIAN allows for adjustments to the number of assets to match requirements. Huber emphasizes: “The municipal authority can increase or decrease the number of assets at any time up to the end of the 60-month term. If the number of students falls, and we need to take back assets early, then we can remarket these elsewhere.” The municipal authority in Bad Rappenau values this highly. “The flexibility that the contract provides is very important to us. It is the icing on the cake,” says Grubbe of the modern IT solution. First of all, existing fat clients were replaced with quiet thin clients and all monitors were replaced with new energy-efficient TFTs to reduce noise in the teaching areas. New projectors and printers were also installed. As the single point of contact, CHG-MERIDIAN steered and managed all processes of the . It also acted as project manager to coordinate a project team consisting of a systems house and several service providers, such as software and phone system vendors. A further element of the project was the installation of the server room, including a management server, a storage unit, a server farm, and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The server room also houses the school’s new phone system and the DSL line. The switch to a new phone system, bringing together the phone numbers of all schools at the site, was carried out as a subproject. As part of the project the switches and network cables in the other buildings of the main campus were renewed, so that all buildings have high-speed access to the central system. A small back-up system with a UPS was also set up. The entire infrastructure – server, phone system, back up, and UPS – can be scaled up or down at any time to match the number of students. “I had expected more problems. It was hassle-free, and every project step ran smoothly despite everything having to be carried out during the school holidays. The teamwork on the school’s project was very professional and customer-oriented. From a contractual point of view the project is highly complex, but we are very satisfied with the implementation and handling, which was in no small part down to CHG-MERIDIAN’s lack of bureaucracy,” said Grubbe. Yvonne Geier, deputy head at the school, is also satisfied: “Everything is very stable, the technology is very reliable. And that is of course very important to the running of the school. It’s also great that we can restrict access to the system to certain departments or individual students, as it allows us to have children of all levels and from all classes sitting, working, and learning side by side.” Huber adds: “We would like to use this model, which we were able to implement with the right service providers, in the future for other municipalities. Individual requirements can be adapted at any time, of course.” Many schools often find the inflexible and cost-intensive approaches to new IT solutions prohibitive. At Verbundschule Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN has managed to find the best custom solution and financing option – and its independence from banks, manufacturers, and service providers has been a key element in this. Thanks to the expertise gained from the successful implementation in Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN now has the tools to establish state-of-the-art, IT-based learning environments that support media literacy in an appealing way at other schools. * Source: Arbeitsbericht des Büros für Technikfolgen-Abschätzung beim Deutschen Bundestag [Report of the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag], 2007. ** Source: Study by the Allensbach Institute, 2013.

CHG-MERIDIAN is a strong and committed partner of these charitable organizations. The information available on the internet is the key to education, communication, and a better future for school children in Kenya. Thousands of miles away, Barbara Toorens is director of external relations at the Belgian aid organization Close the Gap (CtG). “Access to computers and the internet can open up the world to these people,” she explains. Without CtG the school would probably still not have any high-grade computers. The term used for this invisible border between societies who have ready access to digital resources, and those who do not, is ‘digital divide’. CtG aims to overcome these borders sustainably with the help of technology donations from European companies to non-profit projects in developing countries. CHG-MERIDIAN supports this with , such as those for customers in Belgium and Luxembourg, where new communications technology purchases are combined with the donation of old IT equipment for re-use in Africa, Asia and South America. Deloitte Belgium decided to do this when it invested in 3,000 iPhones. “Social responsibility is a value that is deeply enshrined in our corporate culture,” says Guy Lucq, Chief Information Officer at Deloitte in Brussels. With the help of CHG-MERIDIAN, Deloitte bought a certificate for each new device to confirm that decommissioned in Burundi, a process handled by CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop. Guy Lucq continues: “By renewing our communications technology in this way, we are ensuring that more than 20,000 old cellphones enter the material cycle in Africa responsibly.” CHG-MERIDIAN made certain that the process was smooth, transparent, and fast. Stefan Ertel, Executive Vice President at CHG-MERIDIAN, says: “There is an increasing number of companies that want to actively engage as corporate citizens, but many of them lack the structures that would enable them to firmly integrate corporate social responsibility activities into their business models.” CHG-MERIDIAN filled this gap in 2013. Since then, customers obtaining new hardware through the Belgian subsidiary have been able to arrange for its reuse at the end of the period of use. Ertel adds: “What is unique is that we have successfully virtualized these processes – and we are the first technology management provider worldwide to do so.” This also applies to the procurement of regular IT equipment. For example, when obtaining finance for new laptops, customers can donate some or all of the used equipment to CtG on the basis of the equipment’s projected fair value. Or they can combine their investment with the purchase of recycling certificates. With every project it has run since 2003, CtG has demonstrated the huge potential of donations. By 2014 the aid organization had collected around a quarter of a million donated computers, supporting nearly 3,500 projects in over 50 countries. Environmentally friendly recycling of used equipment also requires clear structures, as the stripping of electronic waste, which can be hazardous to humans and the environment, is widespread in Africa and Asia. This is where CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop comes in. The certificates bought by donors ensure that recycling is carried out to the highest standards. Local start-ups and specialist waste management companies in Europe work hand in hand to make valuable materials in the equipment – which can amount to small fortunes – re-usable. Security is crucial when donating company IT equipment to aid organizations, as the protection of sensitive data must be guaranteed. CHG-MERIDIAN’s program offers certified data erasure to match customer needs at the end of the period of use. The erasure solutions are fully certified, including by the TÜV product standards regulator and DEKRA. Every year, hundreds of thousands of assets are prepared for re-use after the end of their leasing period, including around 100,000 erasures, at CHG-MERIDIAN’s Technology and Service Center in Germany. Deloitte plans to continue supporting aid projects through its IT donations, however, standard solutions are not being considered. From a business point of view, it is imperative to evaluate each case individually. “That’s why we need flexibility. And our long-standing business partner CHG-MERIDIAN offered us exactly this flexibility in this project,” says Lucq. CHG-MERIDIAN is a leader in the market thanks to this innovative business model. Following a successful pilot the corporate social responsibility service will be rolled out in other countries, and there is a lot of interest across Europe. “The potential for such processes is huge,” says Stefan Ertel. And this also applies to other capital assets that could be donated at the end of their period of use. European companies donate technology for a good cause: CHG-MERIDIAN offers its customers intelligent solutions to support their socially and ecologically sensible aid projects at Close the Gap and WorldLoop.      Deloitte’s CIO, Guy Lucq li|menu not loaded Digital divide is the term used to describe the gap between people with full access to the digital world and those who remain mainly cut off from it. It affects countries and entire regions, for example East Africa, but also parts of society in western industrialized countries. Close the Gap was founded in 2003 as a student project at the University of Brussels. The idea is to take donations of high-grade used computers from European companies and use them to support educational and social projects, particularly in East Africa. Promotes economic and social development, especially in rural areas, in developing and newly industrialized countries. Close the Gap supports aid projects in over 50 countries worldwide. WorldLoop was founded as a sister organization to Close the Gap in 2008. Its purpose is to promote the establishment of small companies in developing countries that specialize in the responsible recycling of old computers and communications technology. A further objective is to contain the widespread stripping of electronic waste, which is hazardous to human health and the environment. h1|PROVIDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES h2|More than just a website Recycling combined with a strong sense of responsibility Aid projects that promote independence in local markets Security, trust, and future success are closely connected CHG-Meridian Close the gap Facts on the digital divide, Close the Gap, and WorldLoop h3|Choose your region Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                  Image 1 / 4 Image 2 / 4 Image 3 / 4 Image 4 / 4    pa|CUSTOMIZED BUSINESS CONCEPT FOR INDUSTRIAL PLANTS Working to a tight schedule, Gestamp Umformtechnik GmbH has installed an ultra-modern plant in Bielefeld. CHG-MERIDIAN is supporting this capital expenditure project with a sophisticated lease model based on the ‘pay-on-production’ principle. Strong, robust, versatile: The Amarok pick-up from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is a dependable workhorse for use on construction sites and in off-road applications. Obviously, this successful all-rounder from Volkswagen needs a solid base. Steel ladder chassis were originally imported to Hannover from VW’s core Amarok plant in Argentina. Due to the logistical expense, VW was looking for a partner in Germany. In 2013, Volkswagen chose Gestamp Umformtechnik to supply the chassis, requiring the latter to invest in a brand-new production facility that is to be used exclusively for this order and is equipped with welding and assembly robots. CHG-MERIDIAN develops for sophisticated industrial capital expenditure projects. Everything then had to move very fast in Bielefeld: “Chassis construction for the Amarok was a demanding and time-critical project,” explains Bernd Willenberg, member of the Management Board responsible for accounting and financial control at Gestamp Umformtechnik. Trained as an economist, he is visibly proud of the project and the achievements of the employees who spent a year preparing thoroughly for the successful production start-up with support from plant supplier Kuka and the technology and finance experts at CHG-MERIDIAN. Chassis consisting of almost 240 parts for the VW Amarok have been coming off the production line at the Gestamp Umformtechnik GmbH plant in Bielefeld since March 2014. Because the factory building already existed, Gestamp’s role was to plan the facility within the available floorspace. “We overcame this challenge to our utmost satisfaction in cooperation with Kuka,” says Jürgen Lohmann, head of process optimization at Gestamp Umformtechnik. CHG-MERIDIAN provided support at every stage of the planning, development, construction, and start-up of the production line. This is because CHG-MERIDIAN does not simply offer finance, it is a genuine project partner that provides customers with professional advice throughout the lifecycle of the industrial plant, from the initial idea for the project to dismantling the plant after use. Transparency, adaptation to the general parameters of the particular capital expenditure project, and complete control over costs are the advantages of CHG-MERIDIAN’s solutions. This form of intelligent support for capital expenditure projects is especially important in the automotive component industry because component suppliers are taking on responsibility for an ever larger proportion of the value creation process for complex automotive products. This perfectly reflects the corporate philosophy of CHG-MERIDIAN, which provides expert, all-round support throughout the technology lifecycle, thereby creating secure conditions for capital expenditure in an ever-changing environment. This was especially important to Gestamp Umformtechnik in the case of the Amarok order because the company had little more than a year from developing the initial idea to bringing the plant on stream. The ‘running change’ also had to go smoothly i.e. without interrupting Amarok production in Hannover. “If you get behind schedule in a project like this, you can rarely catch up again,” is how board member Bernd Willenberg describes the challenge faced by Gestamp. For the production of the ladder chassis for the VW Amarok at Gestamp Umformtechnik, CHG-MERIDIAN teamed up with KUKA Roboter GmbH to develop a comprehensive lease model for industrial robots and automation systems based on the pay-on-production principle. This enables Gestamp Umformtechnik to align its own capital expenditure with the planned income from the order. The lease payments are based on production output at Gestamp Umformtechnik – an approach that provides an all-round view of the ladder chassis project that goes beyond just the sales perspective. Ultimately, Gestamp Umformtechnik will increase its earnings potential from this project by assessing the entire plant in terms of alternative uses and opportunities for modernization after the first production cycle and then incorporating them into the lease structure. Following the pilot project at the Bielefeld site, CHG-MERIDIAN was also involved in production orders based on the pay-on-production principle at Gestamp Group factories in Spain and Hungary. CHG-MERIDIAN contributed the expertise for the entire technology lifecycle of a plant. Gestamp also benefited from a customized and secure financing model.      Interview  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Company: Gestamp Umformtechnik GmbH Sector: Automotive component supply Products: Chassis and body components Registered office: Ludwigsfelde, Brandenburg, Germany Head office: Bielefeld, Germany Management Board: Francisco José Riberas Mera, Dr. Theodor Plümpe, Dr. Ronald Märtins, Jesús Taboada Employees: approx. 1,900 (including approx. 70 apprentices) in Bielefeld, approx. 350 employees (including approx. 10 apprentices) in Ludwigsfelde Revenue: > €475 million Export rate: approx. 30 percent Production sites: Bielefeld and Ludwigsfelde h1|IDEAL PARAMETERS h2|Big-ticket order for automotive supplier From paper to production CHG-MERIDIAN - Interview Company facts h3|Choose your region Overnight success The best form for capital investment Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                  Image 1 / 5 Image 2 / 5 Image 3 / 5 Image 4 / 5 Image 5 / 5    EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h3|Choose your region Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                 pa|Our success is based on our employees.

Till exempel kan dina anställda arbeta medan de reser eller tvingas arbeta hemifrån, vilket frigör tid för andra aktiviteter. Den digitala arbetsplatsen hjälper också till att optimera affärsprocesser. All information och processer tillhandahålls i en central arbetsmiljö. Godkännandeprocesser eller placering av beställningar för förbrukningsvaror kan slutföras med bara några musklick, vilket minskar bördan för IT- och upphandlingsavdelningarna. Effektivare processer och optimal anpassning av arbetsmiljön kan resultera i besparingar där alla kostnader för anskaffning och drift av IT-utrustning för en arbetsplats kan beräknas och förutsägas exakt. Engagemanget hos de anställda ökar om de får vara med och välja sin IT-utrustning, vilket i sin tur leder till bättre och mer motiverat arbete. Enklare samt mer flexibla processer och tillhörande tidsbesparingar bidrar också till en bättre användarupplevelse. Genom att involvera de anställda kan företaget även dra nytta av deras digitala kunskaper och tekniska färdigheter. Kvalificerade unga arbetssökande ställer höga krav på sina arbetsgivare. De förväntar sig inte enbart att företagets värderingar går hand i hand med deras egna – de ställer även allt högre krav på arbetsmiljön samt maximal frihet för att välja de verktyg de använder för sitt arbete. Det nuvarande kriget om talanger, som kommer att intensifieras under de kommande åren, är ett mycket bra argument för att införa en digital arbetsplats. Följ dessa sex steg för lyckas med implementeringen av digitala arbetsplatsen i ditt företag.

De anställda kan säkert och tryggt arbeta på distans samtidigt som de har kontakt med kollegor, tjänsteleverantörer och nationella samt internationella kunder. Med en digital arbetsplats skapar företag en flexibel och modern arbetsmiljö som ger de anställda all information och processer de behöver för att göra sitt arbete enkelt och framgångsrikt - vart de än befinner sig.

Börja med att fråga dig själv hur din IT-miljö ska se ut om tre år. Vilken utrustning behövs? Hur ofta behöver den bytas ut? Får anställda beställa sin utrustning själva, och i så fall i vilken utsträckning ska de få välja sin utrustning? Dessa och liknande frågor bör beaktas i den strategiska planen och diskuteras med de olika intressenterna på företaget. En tydlig definierad vision är inte bara effektiv, den är också en viktig faktor när det gäller att få med och inkludera de anställda under hela projektets gång. Med en tydlig vision hjälper man de anställda att förstå riktningen företaget tar, varför vissa förändringar är nödvändiga och vad fördelarna är för dem. 2 Det kan vara svårt att förena idéerna och förväntningarna från CIO och CFO. IT-avdelningen kommer att vara intresserad av att byta till den senaste IT-miljön, granska varje process och driva digitaliseringen framåt medan ekonomiavdelningen kommer först och främst att titta på kostnaderna. Ekonomiavdelningen kommer att fokusera på avkastningen av investeringen: Kommer omstruktureringen att öka produktionen? Hur ofta behöver IT-utrustning bytas ut för att maximera effektiviteten? Projektplanen måste vara transparent och uppfylla förväntningarna för båda avdelningarna om den ska accepteras inom företaget och bli en långsiktig framgång. Det finns innovativa kundanpassade affärsidéer som gör att du kan sprida betalningar för utrustningen och relaterade tjänster över hela livslängden. Detta gör det lättare att hålla översikt över samt förutse kostnader samtidigt som besparingar kan beräknas med hög noggrannhet. 3 Alla anställda har inte samma krav och behov av IT-utrustning. De som huvudsakligen arbetar på kontoret kanske endast behöver en stationär dator, medan fältpersonal som ofta arbetar på distans behöver mer smidig och flexibel utrustning. För designers och utvecklare, å andra sidan, kommer utrustningens prestanda att vara en nyckelfaktor. Det är därför viktigt att ta reda på vad dina anställda behöver och vem de olika intressenterna är. 4 Istället för att spendera veckor på att utforma planer för att ersätta alla datorer i en enorm lansering, bör man implementera den digitala arbetsplatsen i olika delmoment och vara flexibel. När allt kommer omkring, kan krav och anställdas roller förändras under ett digitaliseringsprojekt och det kan underlätta om utrustning görs tillgänglig för anställda när det krävs, snarare än enligt fasta avskrivningscykler. Att arbeta med testgrupper är en annan rekommenderad strategi när man rullar ut ny IT-utrustning. De låter dig testa de implementerade ändringarna och göra justeringar innan alla påverkas. Genom att göra de anställda till en del av projektet ökar man acceptansen för projektet samt ökar de anställdas digitala färdigheter. 5 Skapa en gemensam projektplan för implementering av den digitala arbetsplatsen genom att prata med de olika intressenterna på företaget. Vad är nödvändigt? Vad betyder det att implementera en digital arbetsplats i praktiken? Dokumentera vilka milstolpar som ska rullas ut när och vilka delmoment som fortfarande väntar. Det är viktigt att aktivt kommunicera projektets olika faser för att inkludera och säkerställa att anställda förblir entusiastiska över digitaliseringen. Genom att kommunicera testresultat och individuella anställdas erfarenheter hjälper man till att öka motivationen där de anställa känner att de fått vara med och påverka implementeringen. 6 E-handelsföretag som Amazon har revolutionerat shoppingupplevelsen. Anställda känner till och värderar de processer som används av de stora onlineföretagen och förväntar sig en liknande bekvämlighet när IT-utrustning ska beställas. I verkligheten står de inför komplexa godkännandeprocesser och väntar länge på den utrustning som beställts. Det är här som innovativa upphandlingslösningar som bygger på självbetjäningsportaler kommer till sin rätt. Här kan anställda välja den digitala utrustning som är bäst lämpad för sin roll från ett urval som förinställts av företaget. Liksom med online shopping sker leveransen vanligtvis inom några dagar. Enkla processer - som går långt bortom upphandling - och personliga användargränssnitt gör att du kan skapa en optimal användarupplevelse. Digital Workplace På ”den digitala arbetsplatsen” har medarbetarna betydligt större frihet att välja var och när de arbetar och de är inte längre bundna till sitt skrivbord och sin stationära dator. De har dessutom tillgång till den senaste tekniken, som kan anpassas till deras individuella behov. CHG-MERIDIAN visar hur detta kan gå till.

In the interests of equality, the corresponding terminology refers to both genders. Article 4 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) details the meaning of the terminology that is used, such as ‘personal data’ or the ‘processing’ of this. Users’ personal data processed within the framework of this online offering includes inventory data (e.g. customers’ names and addresses), contract data (e.g. services used, names of administrators, payment information), usage data (e.g. websites within our online offering that were visited, interest in our products) and content-related data (e.g. information entered into a contact form). Here, the term ‘user’ refers to all categories of data subjects affected by data processing. For example, this includes our business partners, customers, prospective customers and other visitors to our online offering. Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing when we have sought consent for a particular purpose of processing. If personal data needs to be processed for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for processing operations relating to the delivery of goods or the rendering of a service or consideration in return, for example, processing is based on article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations required for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, such as in cases of enquiries relating to our products or services. If we are subject to a legal obligation that makes it necessary to process personal data, such as the fulfilment of obligations under tax law, processing is based on article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. If personal data needs to be processed to protect vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, processing is based on article 6 (1) (d) GDPR. Finally, processing can be based on article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Processing is carried out on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interest or that of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override this.

This data is solely used to improve our offering and cannot enable conclusions to be drawn about you as an individual. This data is not merged with other sources of data. The legal basis for data processing is article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We process and use data for the following purposes: This type of data processing is either undertaken for the performance of the contract regarding the use of CHG-MERIDIAN AG’s website or because we have a legitimate interest in guaranteeing the functionality and error-free operation of CHF-MERIDIAN AG's websites and adapting these websites to suit users’ requirements.

CHG MERIDIAN AG has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security, appropriate to the risk. This type of risk analysis includes estimating the risk that the data subject’s rights will be compromised, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purpose of data processing. These measures encompass: CHG-MERIDIAN AG only grants access to personal data if this is absolutely necessary. This access is limited to the personal data required for the purpose in question. The authorisation for access to personal data is always associated with a purpose, meaning that universal approval for access to personal data is not granted.

They apply solely to business persons as defined by section 14 of the German Civil Code (BGB) with whom the Seller enters into a commercial relationship. Any conditions of the Buyer that contradict or deviate from these General Terms and Conditions will not be recognized unless their validity has been explicitly agreed in writing. These Conditions of Sale also apply if the Seller supplies goods and/or services to the Buyer without reservation despite being aware of contradictory or divergent conditions provided by the Buyer. 2.1 All contracts and other agreements and legally binding declarations must be signed by both parties in order to be legally valid. This also applies to any additions and amendments. 2.2 Oral collateral agreements and assurances are not valid. 3.1 Unless the contract of sale specifies otherwise, our prices are quoted net for dispatch from the Seller's address as specified in the contract of sale. The Seller shall package the goods in packaging suitable for transportation. 3.2 Our prices do not include statutory VAT. VAT will be calculated at the rate applicable on the day of invoicing and shown separately on the invoice. VAT is due and payable to the Seller unless the Buyer presents confirmation of export to the Seller. If the Buyer presents the export certificate to the Seller only after payment of VAT, the Seller shall refund the VAT to the Buyer. 4.1 The purchase price is payable immediately via bank transfer and in full. 4.2 The equipment detailed in the contract of sale is sold ex-works (EXW) in accordance with Incoterms 2010 from the Seller's address as stated in the contract of sale. 4.3 The goods will not be dispatched or collected until the entire purchase price amount has been deposited into the Seller's account or until the Seller has received confirmation from the bank executing the transaction that the transfer has been requested and carried out in full. If the Buyer is in default of payment, the Seller reserves the right to charge default interest at the statutory rate. The Seller reserves the right to claim for greater losses as a result of the default if they can be shown to have occurred. The rights afforded by clause 8 remain unaffected. The Seller reserves the right to make additional claims. 4.4 The Seller will state in the contract of sale the date on which the equipment will be available for collection (availability date). If the Buyer delays in taking receipt of the goods or is in culpable breach of other obligations to cooperate, the Seller reserves the right to invoke clause 8. The Seller reserves the right to make additional claims. 4.5 If requested by the Buyer, the Seller can – at the Buyer's expense – send the equipment to an address specified by the Buyer, although it is not obliged to do so. 4.6 The Buyer is only entitled to exercise a right of set-off if its counterclaims have been confirmed by a non-appealable court decision or are uncontested or are recognized by the Seller. The Buyer is entitled to exercise withholding rights only in respect of receivables arising from the same legal relationship that are uncontested or have been confirmed by a non-appealable court decision. The Seller is entitled to make partial deliveries, but will only do so if payment is received in advance. 6.1 For deliveries made from the Federal Republic of Germany to other countries within the European Community (intra-Community deliveries) the Seller will not add VAT to the amount charged to the Buyer insofar as the deliveries are exempt from VAT under the German Value Added Tax Act. The Buyer shall at the Seller's request provide proofs of delivery and other documents required under German VAT law as proof of exemption from VAT. The Buyer shall in particular confirm to the Seller upon first request the receipt or arrival of the goods in the area of the EC outside of Germany (confirmation of arrival) as proof that a tax-exempt intra-Community delivery has taken place. The entry certificate will be produced by the Seller and made available to the Buyer who will inspect it and confirm to the Seller that it is correct for every delivery. 6.2 The Buyer shall without being requested to do so inform the Seller of its VAT registration number and any changes to it and shall provide the Seller with information regarding its capacity as business person, the transportation of the delivered goods, the use to which they will be put, and the Buyer's duty to report statistics. 6.3 If the Buyer fails to provide some or all of the necessary information/documents described in clauses 6.1 and 6.2 it will be liable for any resulting losses, expenses and costs incurred by the Seller, especially German VAT and any additional charges. 6.4 The Seller will not be liable for the consequences of the Buyer failing to supply details or supplying incomplete or incorrect details except in cases of intent or gross negligence on the part of the Seller. 7.1 The Buyer is responsible for obtaining any necessary export licenses unless the Seller is required to do so by statute or by a final, non-appealable administrative decision or court ruling. If the Seller is responsible for obtaining the license(s), the Buyer shall provide whatever assistance is necessary for this purpose. 7.2 The Buyer gives an assurance that it will neither directly nor indirectly export or re-export the goods acquired from the Seller to persons, organizations, institutions, or countries against whom an embargo in respect of such goods has been imposed by Germany's Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) and the European Union and is currently in force. 8.1 The Seller reserves the right to withdraw from the contract in the following instances without prejudice to any of its other rights: a) If the Buyer does not pay the purchase price within three days of the availability date specified in the contract of sale or if within three days no bank confirmation of a completed payment transfer has been provided. b) If the circumstances provided for in clause 4.4 apply and the Buyer has not taken full receipt of the goods within seven days of the availability date specified in the contract of sale. c) If the Buyer acts contrary to the assurance provided in 7.2 or is in breach of its obligation to cooperate as per 7.1 sentence 2. 8.2 The Buyer shall compensate the Seller for any loss incurred, including, but not limited to, any profit lost, as a result of the equipment being sold at a lower purchase price. The Buyer shall furthermore be liable for the costs of storing the equipment until such time as it is remarketed and collected, these costs to be charged at the rate of €1.00 per day per pallet plus a one-off administration charge of €75.00 per order. If the Buyer fails to collect the equipment, the same storage costs will be charged to the Buyer until it is collected. 8.3 The Buyer reserves the right to produce proof of lesser loss. Risk passes to the Buyer when the object of purchase is collected or, in the circumstances provided for in clause 4.5, transferred to the haulage operator. Insofar as the circumstances described in clause 4.4 apply, the risk of accidental destruction or accidental deterioration of the object of purchase will pass to the Buyer as soon as it defaults on acceptance of or payment for the object of purchase. The Buyer is liable for all transport-related costs and risks from the moment of the transfer of risk. These costs include, but are not limited to, transport costs, customs and excise duties, taxes and other public charges, costs for customs formalities for import and export, insurance, and costs for loss, damage, delays, etc. 10.1 The goods being sold are used equipment for which no warranty is provided. The Seller provides no guarantees of quality or durability other than those provided for under clause 10.2 in conjunction with the contract of sale. The Seller assumes no liability for the compatibility of the various equipment and components with one another. This also applies to the supplied equipment's compatibility with customers' existing IT equipment. 10.2 The Seller guarantees that the equipment explicitly described as Type A or Type B will meet the following description. Type A equipment: the Seller guarantees that the used equipment will be free of visual and technical defects, subject to normal wear and tear, for the period specified in the contract of sale. For Type B equipment: the Seller guarantees that used equipment with visual/cosmetic defects that do not affect the performance of the equipment will be free of technical defects for the period specified in the contract of sale. If any of the equipment fails to meet the terms of these guarantees, the Buyer will, for the period specified in the contract of sale, be entitled to return the equipment to the Seller. The guarantee period begins on the day the equipment is collected by the Buyer or the date of dispatch. 10.3 All claims under the guarantee must be made in writing by completing the RMA form, and are made at the Buyer's expense. The RMA form can be sent on request or downloaded as a PDF file from the Seller's website (www.chg-meridian.de). 10.4 The Seller's guarantee as per 10.2 excludes all batteries and consumables. 10.5 Software, manuals, PC accessories such as notebook cases, keyboards, cables, and mice, and technical support services are not included unless explicitly specified in the contract of sale. If software is included in the order, the Buyer will be granted usage rights to it. Any copying, transfer, or resale of the software requires the permission or prior authorization of the rights holder. The Buyer undertakes in particular to be aware of and adhere to MICROSOFT's usage and licensing conditions. The Buyer will be liable in full for any loss or damage incurred through a breach of these usage rights. 10.6 The data on the equipment will be deleted before the sale. If the Buyer unexpectedly detects data on the equipment, it is his obligation to inform the Seller immediately and either delete the data securely himself and at his own expense or in consultation with the Seller provide the Seller with the relevant equipment for data erasure. 11.1 The Seller will be liable in accordance with statutory provisions for claims for compensation brought by the Buyer on the grounds of intent or gross negligence, including the intent or gross negligence of the Seller's agents or representatives. Insofar as the Seller is not accused of deliberate breach of contract, liability for damages will be limited to foreseeable and typical loss. 11.2 Liability for loss arising from death or bodily harm, where fault exists on the part of the Seller, remains unaffected. Mandatory liability under the terms of the German Product Liability Act also remains unaffected. The Seller shall also be liable under other statutory provisions if it is culpably in breach of a material contractual obligation, although in such a case liability for damages is limited to typical and foreseeable loss. 11.3 Any liability for damages that exceeds that provided for in clauses 11.1 and 11. 2 is hereby excluded, regardless of the legal grounds on which the claim is brought. This shall especially apply to claims for damages arising from culpa in contrahendo or from other derelictions of duty, or tortious claims for compensation for damage to property. 11.4 The exclusion or limitation of the Seller's liability to the Buyer for damages shall also apply to the personal liability of the Seller's employees, staff, representatives, and agents. 11.5 The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer for any failure to perform the contract or for any default where the failure or default are caused by natural disasters, fire, flood, acts of war, strikes, industrial disputes, non-delivery or late delivery of accessories, or state or official interventions or regulations. The Seller retains ownership of the object of sale until receipt of all payments arising from the business relationship with the Buyer. 13.1 These terms of business and all legal relations arising between the Seller and the Buyer are governed by the law of the Federal Republic of Germany. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) will not apply in any circumstances. 13.2 If the Buyer is a general merchant (Vollkaufmann) as defined by German Commercial Code (HGB) or a legal entity incorporated under public law or a special-purpose entity organized under public law, the place of jurisdiction for all disputes will be Ravensburg, Germany. The same place of jurisdiction applies if the Buyer does not have a general place of jurisdiction within the Federal Republic of Germany or its domicile or usual place of residence is moved abroad after the contract has been formed or is unknown at the time of the institution of proceedings. This does not affect the Seller's right to bring a claim against the Buyer in the court of the Buyer's place of residence. 13.3 The place of performance is Gross-Gerau, Germany. 13.4 Should individual provisions of these Terms of Business or of other agreements be or become partly or wholly invalid, this will not affect the validity of the other provisions or agreements. The same applies in the event of a gap in the contract. In the place of the invalid provisions, agreements or gaps, an appropriate provision shall be substituted that shall insofar as possible in law reflect what the parties intended or would have intended had they been aware of the invalidity or gap.    EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h2|Sales Conditions CHG-MERIDIAN AG'S GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SALE h3|Choose your region 1.

From modest beginnings in the Upper Swabia region of southern Germany, CHG has developed into a success story spanning four decades. And the story goes on. Jürgen Gelf founds CHG Computer-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH in Berg near Ravensburg. CHG supports customers through the switch from mainframes to decentralized systems. CHG-MERIDIAN expands its activities to the whole of Germany through a combination of organic growth and acquisitions. The company has been expanding internationally since 2000. CHG MERIDIAN moves into technology management in industry, healthcare technology, and industrial manufacturing. CHG MERIDIAN’s data erasure processes are the first in Germany to be certified by TÜV. CHG MERIDIAN offers its customers a standardized, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible re-use concept for pre-owned IT hardware, where the emphasis is on remarketing. CHG MERIDIAN operates in 25 countries around the world. It promotes paperless internal and external management of processes through its ‘modern workplace’ concept. In 1979, programmer Jürgen Gelf started selling used mainframe computers. His specialist product and market knowledge allowed him to remarket IT equipment repeatedly, and he soon began leasing it too. Leasing was still a new concept in Germany at the time, but it soon became the core business of CHG Computer-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH. Computer technology changed at the end of the 1980s, when personal computers started to take over from mainframes. CHG adapted to the new requirements and supported its customers through the transformation of their systems. In the years following Jürgen Mossakowski’s appointment as CEO, the company expanded into consultancy and service provision, such as lifecycle, investment, and innovation planning or the installation and maintenance of equipment. In the mid-1990s, several acquisitions accelerated CHG’s growth and this, combined with a restructuring drive, allowed CHG to evolve from a company focusing on southern Germany into the nationwide CHG‑MERIDIAN AG. In 2000, the company started expanding internationally, with foreign subsidiaries established in the United Kingdom and Austria. These were quickly followed by subsidiaries in the USA, Ireland, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Russia, Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. In 2018, CHG-MERIDIAN opened offices in Australia and New Zealand, and now has operations in more than 25 countries. Alongside IT, the technology sectors industry, medical equipment, and industrial capital equipment – for example car body assembly lines – were added to the CHG-MERIDIAN Group portfolio in 2004. After more than 18 years as Chairman of the Board of Management, Jürgen Mossakowski joined the Supervisory Board in 2017. He was succeeded by Dr. Mathias Wagner. All global sales activities have been brought together under Board of Management member Frank Kottmann. Oliver Schorer has taken over the newly created IT and Services remit and Joachim Schulz remains responsible for Finance. Jürgen Gelf founded ‘CHG Computer-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH’ on March 2, 1979. In 1982, the company changed its name to ‘CHG Computer Leasing- und Handels-Gesellschaft mbH’, and the ‘Handels-Gesellschaft’ was finally dropped altogether in 1992 when the company became ‘CHG Computer Leasing GmbH’. After acquiring Wiesbaden-based FGM‑MERIDIAN, the two companies merged in 1996 into ‘CHG‑MERIDIAN Computer Leasing Gesellschaft mbH’, which a year later became ‘CHG‑MERIDIAN Deutsche Computer Leasing AG’. The company’s name since 2012 has been ‘CHG‑MERIDIAN AG’. CHG‑MERIDIAN introduced its first self-developed asset management system in 1999. It was expanded in 2004 to become TESMA® Online. TESMA® stands for technology and service management. This web-based communication, planning, and administration platform gives CHG‑MERIDIAN and customers access to a shared data pool for each item of equipment. The latest version of TESMA® was released in 2016. The original idea behind CHG‑MERIDIAN was to re-use unwanted computers. With the rise in the number of computers since the 1990s, this idea gained ever greater importance. In 2000, CHG-MERIDIAN opened its own brokerage and logistics center in Mörfelden near Frankfurt. Lease returns have been refurbished and remarketed here ever since. In 2010, the Technology and Service Center moved to Gross-Gerau, with another center in Skien in Norway added in 2013. Both centers specialize in erasing data, some of it sensitive, using a certified process. Since 2014, CHG‑MERIDIAN has been offering its customers a standardized, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible re-use concept for pre-owned IT hardware, where the emphasis is on remarketing. The business that started life in a room in Jurgen Gelf’s home now has its own impressive headquarters. CHG‑MERIDIAN moved into the new building in Weingarten near Ravensburg in 2003. It provides space for around 270 employees. An extension with another 250 workspaces was opened in May 2016. We have a tradition of growing with our tasks, our experience and, of course, with our customers. At the same time, we are always aware of where we come from – and where we want to be.             New Building Timelapse  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|HOW IT ALL BEGAN h2|Moving forward since 1979 CHG-MERIDIAN creates new room for further growth h3|Choose your region Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h4|1979 FOUNDATION 1992 TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE 1994 EXPANSION STRATEGY 2004 NEW AREAS OF TECHNOLOGY 2006 TÜV CERTIFICATION 2014 RE-USE CONCEPT 2018 GLOBAL ORIENTATION TOWARD DIGITALIZATION AND SERVICES Our name: CHG-MERIDIAN Core competency: service and technology From the second-hand market to a standardized re-use concept A growing company h6|HISTORY sp|                                  Image 1 / 9 Image 2 / 9 Image 3 / 9 Image 4 / 9 Image 5 / 9 Image 6 / 9 Image 7 / 9 Image 8 / 9 Image 9 / 9 pa|Technology investment, financing, sustainability, IT security... Making the right decisions when it comes to purchasing and managing IT equipment can feel complicated and certainly raises several questions. Here you can immerse yourself in everything that includes IT, circular economy, industry trends and news of CHG-MERIDIAN. The coronavirus crisis has mercilessly laid bare any shortcomings in companies’ digital transformation, as they have been confronted with the challenge of enabling mobile workplaces from one day to the next. Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. The digital workplace is an integral element of any digitalization strategy, and CHG-MERIDIAN is no exception. In order to implement the digital workplace successfully and optimize it in the long term, we believe there are three factors on which remote working depends. Data platforms allow us to organize and structure the flood of digital information in a sensible way when working remotely. They also enable us to work in virtual teams across borders. From anywhere. Find out here what data platforms are all about. There is growing pressure to roll out digital workplace strategies and it becomes clear how important it is to get the employees on board with regard to a digital work culture. The following article highlights the key role that employees play in any digitalization strategy. Our society has been living beyond its means for decades. Whether the coronavirus pandemic will persuade us to use resources more responsibly and move away from the linear system depends to some extent on how cost-effective the alternatives are. Computing power, platforms, and software can already be acquired as a service, so why not complete workplace IT? Discover the benefits that workplace as a service (WaaS) can have for your company. Many IT departments were caught out in mid-March, when entire workforces suddenly needed to start working from home. Since then, it has become clear that this is not a temporary switch, but the start of a longer journey – including in terms of technology. Smartphones and laptops have already become the norm at home. Yet many people find themselves stuck in an analog world at work, despite the fact that setting up a digital workplace is not that difficult with a little preparation and planning. Don't run any unnecessary risks when it comes to remarketing or disposing of decommissioned IT equipment. Find out how cost-effective and permanent data erasure works. Computing power, platforms, and software can already be acquired as a service, so why not complete workplace IT? Discover the benefits that workplace as a service (WaaS) can have for your company. “We regard the digital workplace as a holistic system that adds significant value in all areas of your company that work with IT.” Lukas Wojoczek, Digital Workplace Sales It is almost impossible to calculate the overall costs of IT for a single workplace using conventional procurement and usage models. The latest digital workplace concepts can provide transparency. If you are planning a new IT infrastructure, the first question you will ask yourself, as the CFO, is whether the investment will pay off. Technical and commercial management need to work hand in hand if companies are to benefit from the digital workplace too. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. Below, we showcase four viewpoints on e-health and examine the extent to which they share a common goal. We will show you how the right strategy can increase your efficiency and make the Digital Workplace the core of your digitization strategy. We show you how the latest technology can help you to use your working time most effectively. A study shows that the majority of employees want to take advantage of mobile working, but companies are yet to catch on to this trend. With great team spirit, they really hustled to collect donations for charitable causes in 2018. We speak to Florian Orth, lifecycle expert at CHG-MERIDIAN, about greater flexibility and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) in manufacturing. Frank Schöneberg, Head of Public Sector Sales Germany at CHG-MERIDIAN, expands on his many years of experience working with public-sector clients. Peter Krause, Head of Healthcare Sector Sales Germany at CHG-MERIDIAN, talks about data protection in the healthcare sector and the requirements for data erasure. Joachim Schulz presents five factors that are crucial in overcoming these obstacles. Oliver Schorer speaks about digital transformation and how companies can deliver it successfully. Digitalization is a leading topic of discussion in the public sector. But what might modernization and digital transformation measures actually look like in practice? Corporate social responsibility is firmly enshrined in CHG-MERIDIAN’s corporate philosophy. CHG-MERIDIAN is growing fast – and is doing so around the world. We are always on the lookout for ambitious individuals to join us. Data protection should be viewed as part of an end-to-end solution, not in isolation. Dr. Mathias Wagner, Chairman of the Board of Management of CHG-MERIDIAN, looks back on 2017 and gives an optimistic outlook for the future. Declan McGlone, Vice President Finance UK/Ireland, talks in an interview about business development in the UK and Ireland Being able to reliably protect sensitive company data at the end of an asset’s useful life is vital in the digital era. Why the financing must match the business, and not vice versa Everyone is talking about data protection at the moment. It is a particularly important issue when it comes to modern printers, MFPs, and copiers. An illustrative calculation from the automotive industry for pay-per-use models How intelligent financing models can satisfy wide-ranging interests Oliver Schorer (CIO) shows five areas that German companies need to consider. Using pay-per-patient models to manage investment risks in healthcare technology We will show you how to implement innovative projects cost-effectively. Why the CIO and CFO are stuck in the same boat when it comes to TCO calculations, and how only an independent expert can help. How pay-per-patient models can help to preserve liquidity Every company is familiar with unit cost accounting. Why financing per item makes sense too. The digital revolution is only slowly taking hold in German society. Nevertheless, there is already an urgent need for companies to invest. IT procurement is different from purchasing consumables. Ralf Behrning clarifies what really matters. Companies are not yet enabling them to participate sufficiently in the digital revolution. A lot of potential remains untapped. CHG-MERIDIAN's employees apply themselves with as much vigor to good causes as they do to their work. Oliver Schorer, (CIO) and member of the Board of Management at CHG-MERIDIAN, talks about customized and fully automated business concepts As an innovative technology manager with decades of experience, CHG-MERIDIAN creates maximum cost transparency, identifies potential savings – and achieves these savings. By taking out a €75 million bonded loan in August 2017, CHG-MERIDIAN has successfully completed its fifth transaction in this segment since 2013. Peter Krause, talks about the importance of well-interlinked medical technology and IT and explains how they can be used to achieve high patient satisfaction in spite of economic challenges. In our latest white paper, we demonstrate how hospitals can deliver the digital transformation toward Health 4.0 through long-term investment in technology and employees, and remain well equipped to face the challenges of the future.

We see ourselves as a part of society, and we play an active role through community projects and initiatives in the region. At CHG-MERIDIAN, we realize that only sustainable business models can be successful in the long term. This involves moving away from a linear economic model where products are manufactured, used, and then disposed of, and toward a circular model that focuses on repair and reuse. That is why we regard end-to-end lifecycle management as one of the biggest challenges of our time – and as the core discipline of our company. Scarcity of resources and climate change are topics in our society, and they are forcing companies to take new approaches. Society’s transition toward a circular economy is the result of a long-overdue change in thinking. At CHG-MERIDIAN, this way of thinking is firmly established in our business model and has shaped our actions for decades. We support our customers along the entire lifecycle of their technology assets, from rollout and use to certified data erasure, refurbishing, and remarketing. Reusing devices instead of procuring and then disposing of them every time conserves resources and improves our environmental footprint. We have been refurbishing used equipment at our Technology Centers for the past 20 years. Devices undergo visual and technical refurbishment in line with the principles of green IT. We also have a global network of certified refurbishing partners who recondition equipment locally to the highest standards. We are proud of our refurbishing rate of 95 percent. But what about the rest? Any equipment that cannot be reused is sustainably returned to the material cycle through our certified recycling partners. Certified data erasure at the end of the term is essential if equipment is to be reused within the circular economy. In our mind, data security starts with choosing the equipment and classifying the security levels. Whether it is SSD, hybrid or flash memory in laptops, tablets, smartphones or even printers, copiers, and multifunction devices, CHG-MERIDIAN offers a precise and cost-effective erasure solution. This ensures that data is protected when equipment is reused. We have been successfully remarketing on the international secondary IT market for 40 years. By professionally refurbishing and remarketing IT equipment, we are able to extend its useful life. We also have an international network of certified partners. In 2019, we remarketed almost 697,000 assets in total. Every single one makes a difference and conserves valuable resources. Alongside avoiding and reducing CO₂ emissions through a holistic lifecycle approach, offsetting is an important step that allows companies to operate in a more sustainable manner and to make a positive contribution toward climate change mitigation. That is why we are enabling companies to lease their IT assets in a carbon-neutral way through carbonZER0. This involves fully offsetting the CO₂ emissions generated during the production, transportation, use and end-of-life phase of leased IT assets. Payments for offsetting CO₂ are made via direct investments in certified and internationally recognized climate change mitigation projects – requiring no additional time or effort from customers. An end-to-end approach to lifecycles makes it possible to rethink traditional business models and procurement processes in terms of sustainability. Our certified eraSURE data erasure prepares equipment for reuse by returning it to its original state. By refurbishing used equipment, we are making a demonstrable contribution to conserving natural resources. Our extensive remarketing experience enables us to increase the life of technology equipment and prepare it for sustainable reuse.         EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|Sustainability h2|Sustainable technology management as a core discipline The principles of the circular economy in our business model carbonzero VALUES WE STAND FOR h3|Choose your region Lifecycle REFURBISHING ERASURE Remarketing Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h4|Rethink Recover Preserve Extend sp|                                 pa|Investing in the latest healthcare technology often involves high costs. CHG-MERIDIAN can identify when investments are really worthwhile for hospitals and care facilities. Trying to find a balance between having the latest healthcare equipment whilst effectively managing your budget is an all too real problem for many hospitals within the UK. Here at CHG-MERIDIAN we aim to help our customers acquire today’s healthcare technology with tomorrow’s budget. How exactly do we achieve this? Using our expert knowledge, we can help you realise the options available to you. Our flexible, creative financial solutions is the heartbeat behind everything we do. However; we are more than just a finance company who simply provides you with an interest rate. We want to understand your business, your pain points and ultimately provide you with a full solution package that covers the entire asset lifecycle. We are completely independent and are not owned by any manufacturers or banks. Therefore we can provide you with unbiased advice and ensure you remain in complete control. Furthermore, you also benefit from having the freedom of choice to combine multiple manufacturers within your technology estate. With over 40 years of experience behind us, we like to think we've learned a thing or two along the way. Throughout our previous customer projects, we have gained valuable experience, which we put into practice to benefit our current and future customers. We adhere to a strict code of conduct, and as such, our contracts provide you with complete transparency. Our pricing model provides you with fixed costs and 0% inflation, while also presenting you with all your options for the end of the contract term. Above all, we work with you to find the best solution. We work to ISO principles and are a member of the Finance and Leasing Association as well as a recognised lessor on several leasing and managed services frameworks. We combine this financial and commercial competence with our technological expertise to provide maximum value to our customers. With a presence in 25 countries covering Europe, North America, South America and Australia and New Zealand. We can facilitate our service into one contract across multiple geographies and sites. We provide a single point of contact for all of our customer's technology requirements. Whether it be an issue with the procurement of assets, the rollout of the assets, right through to our remarketing and data deletion service, we have a solution bespoke to you. CHG-MERIDIAN provides flexible financing, effective support, and technology lifecycle management that adds measurable value. CHG-MERIDIAN provides the flexible financing of medical equipment, working with our customers we can find a transparent, customised billing model to suit their needs. Take advantage of one of our operating lease, finance lease, sale & leaseback, deferred payment or pay per use solutions. We also help you to bring investment volumes into line with commercial targets (ROI, budget, TCO) and financial reporting requirements (US GAAP, IFRS). An operating lease is one of the most common types of agreements our customers take advantage of. An operating lease allows for the use of an asset but the lease term is short compared to the useful life of the asset. As a result, we take a residual value on the asset meaning the sum of the rentals will be typically less than the original capital cost. Raise capital budget and unlock the value of existing equipment. This model allows you to sell your existing assets that you own and lease it back in either an operating or finance format. Under this model, the overall cost of procuring and using the medical equipment is broken down by individual case of treatment by dividing the rental by the pre-determined minimum number of uses. Acquire your equipment today and defer payments to the following financial year. The perfect solution for those customers who require an urgent supply of equipment but don’t have the necessary capital for the current financial year. If the product lifecycle of your healthcare technology ends, we offer you the choice of returning, upgrading, or continuing to use it. CHG-MERIDIAN and our trusted partners ensure correct de-installation and complete removal. Alongside creating additional value from your end of life assets, our main concern is protection of our customers data. Equipment that cannot be remarketed is disposed of in an environmentally friendly way, according to WEEE standards. Our lifecycle model illustrates how CHG-MERIDIAN successfully supports you in every phase of your technology project. We like to see ourselves as a little bit different in the way we approach the healthcare sector. We aren’t bound to any banks, manufacturers or service providers, as such we can offer a unique customer experience all from a single source. We strive to differentiate ourselves with our products and added value services.

Thanks to carbonZER0, the production, transportation, use phase, and end-of-life phase of your CHG-MERIDIAN financed IT assets can now be carbon-neutral. Company PCs, smartphones, and servers generate tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, with the bulk of these CO₂ emissions generated during production. That is why, for more than 40 years, CHG-MERIDIAN has been offering based on the professional refurbishing and sustainable reuse of used IT devices, in line with the principles of the . We are now taking this one step further with carbonZER0. For the first time, our customers can offset the CO₂ generated in the production, transportation, use phase, and end-of-life scenarios of their leased IT assets. Alongside measures to avoid and reduce CO₂ emissions, offsetting is an important step that allows companies to operate in a more sustainable manner and to make a positive contribution toward climate change mitigation. Thanks to carbonZER0, our new financing upgrade, our customers can pay to offset the entire CO₂ emissions of their IT assets. This financing option is available internationally, with the money generated used to finance certified projects aimed at combating climate change. The monthly lease instalment increases only marginally. For example, the cost of making a smartphone carbon-neutral is just a few cents. Using the carbonZER0 financing upgrade requires no additional time or effort from customers. They enjoy the benefits of a complete package that allows them to select and manage their climate change mitigation projects, and includes recognized emissions certificates and the calculation of CO₂ emissions using a methodology certified by the TÜV product standards regulator. The calculation takes into account production, transportation, and the electricity consumed during the use phase and end-of-life scenarios of the IT assets. We also take into account any differences related to device type and manufacturer by adding a percentage-based markup. Once the calculation has been completed, the greenhouse gases generated are offset. This can be done in a variety of ways, either by purchasing certificates on voluntary carbon markets or by investing directly in climate change mitigation projects. Selecting and regularly auditing these is an important step. Through carbonZER0, CHG-MERIDIAN is supporting internationally recognized and certified climate change mitigation projects. All of these projects ensure sustainable development at the economic, social, and environmental level in the respective countries in line with the . In return, the customer receives a certificate as proof of the CO₂ emissions saved. This guarantees that the savings will only be used to offset CO₂ emissions once; the related certificates are subsequently retired in the official registers. Both the certificate and the information on which assets are carbon-neutral can be viewed digitally in – simple, transparent, and straightforward. Customers that have taken up the carbonZER0 option are currently supporting solar power generation in northern Namibia, including on-site medical provision and the expansion of local schools. In South Sulawesi, the money from our customers’ carbon offsetting is financing a wind power project in Jeneponto, while in southern Sri Lanka it is funding a hydroelectric plant that will provide carbon-neutral power to the island. As forests are some of the Earth’s most important carbon sinks, carbonZER0 is also supporting the protection of a 100,000-hectare area of forest in the Madre de Dios region in Peru. This project alone is saving an average of 660,000 tonnes of CO₂ every year. Our climate change mitigation projects meet internationally recognized standards. To prove that criteria are being met, the projects are checked and certified according to the , the (VCS), and the (CCBS). This ensures – and regularly confirms – that the projects are effective in combating climate change. "Our customers can simply add the service to their existing order without any additional hassle. We take care of everything for them, including making the offset payment to certified climate projects" Customers and investors have long been demanding sustainable solutions, and what might once have been an afterthought, such as climate-neutral business practices or green IT, is now often crucial to the success of a business. Environmental protection has become a corporate objective, and a moral obligation. Sustainability and combating climate change have become a must for companies – from an environmental, social, and commercial perspective. carbonZER0 allows our customers to not only enhance their image through carbon-neutral IT financing but also to make a truly positive and transparent contribution to their environmental footprint. Lack of resources and climate change are priority issues globally; More and more measures are being introduced with the aim of transitioning to a circular economy. It is the combination of innovative solutions and sustainable choices that takes society forward in the pursuit of a circular economy. For CHG-MERIDIAN, this is about having sustainability as its core focus and it's not just empty words.... (article in swedish) Are you looking for answers or consulting? Contact us! Our experts will be pleased to advise you. The principles of the circular economy are deeply embedded in our DNA and have been shaping CHG-MERIDIAN’s business model for decades. We see ourselves as a part of society, and we play an active role through community projects and initiatives in the region. Our society has been living beyond its means for decades.

As a result we take a residual value on the asset meaning the sum of the rentals will be typically less than the original capital cost. A finance lease is another common lease agreement you can utilise. A finance lease is typically a full pay out agreement, this means that the sum of the rentals includes the full capital cost of the equipment, plus the interest accrued. In this sense a finance lease works in very much the same way as a loan. Raise capital budget and unlock the value of existing equipment by taking advantage of our sale and leaseback model. This model allows you to sell your existing assets that you own and lease it back in either an operating or finance format.    EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Flexibility to upgrade to new equipment as required or terminate the agreement early The option to hand the equipment back at the end of the term or continue to use it for a secondary period Usually results in the lowest payment of any financing alternative and is an excellent strategy for capital budgeting restraints Provides fixed known costs throughout the contract period Makes a life-cycle refresh program more affordable The most suitable solution for procuring long life, low tech assets Allows for the known total cost of ownership Gives the flexibility to upgrade the equipment during or at the end of the lease agreement A finance lease allows for ownership at the end of the lease h1|CREATING FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS TO MEET YOUR NEEDS h2|Leasing your technology equipment CREATING FINANCIAL SOLUTIONS TO MEET YOUR NEEDS h3|Choose your region Our approach to flexible finance across the markets will typically be based on one of the below models: OPERATING LEASE FINANCE LEASE Sale and Leaseback Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h4|ADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES h6|Financial Solutions sp|                                 pa|CHG-MERIDIAN Code of Conduct describes the basic principles of our corporate culture. Further more CHG-MERIDIAN expects its employees and business partners to report any compliance violations that they become aware of. Since 2013, our code of conduct has described the central principles of our corporate culture. It was updated in autumn 2020 so that we can continue to meet the increased number of ethical and regulatory requirements presented by our fast-moving world. The code of conduct will therefore continue to guide our decisions and help us to prevent any misconduct. The new and additional content is based on common international standards and requirements. The code of conduct is binding upon all employees at all CHG-MERIDIAN locations. It also sets out our expectations for how our customers, suppliers, and other business partners should behave. Acting with integrity at all levels creates trust both internally and externally and is essential to our continued commercial success. Code of Conduct - CHG-MERIDIAN - English CHG-MERIDIAN expects its employees and business partners to report any compliance violations that they become aware of. Contact persons for such reports include immediate supervisors, senior management, the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) as well as an external ombudsman. Our behavior towards one another is characterised by respect, trust, and tolerance. We therefore handle all reports of possible violations as strictly confidential. We assume that our whistle-blower system will be used responsibly and with integrity. A report will not be classified as a breach of confidence. Such reports will not result in discriminatory action against the reporting person, provided that he or she made the report in good faith regarding the accuracy of his or her statements. The whistle-blower remains anonymous at all times unless the whistle-blower expressly permits disclosure either in advance or after the fact. The CHG-MERIDIAN ombudsman is - in addition to the Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) - the central point of contact and the anonymous authority with respect to CHG-MERIDIAN in the whistle-blower system.

But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. The digital workplace also plays an integral role in the digitalization strategy of CHG-MERIDIAN, a technology management company. Remote working is becoming more important, both nationally and internationally, and the workplace has to be sufficiently flexible to enable this. Mobile devices play a key role, but it is also about digital platforms and processes, and the employees' digital mindset. Remote working requires the right IT devices, which is why technical enablement is the cornerstone of our digital workplace strategy. We made workplace equipment, comprising a laptop and a smartphone, available to all employees based on the requirements of each user group. The shopping cart from which the employees can choose is continually updated and expanded, and each employee can select the devices that best suit their way of working. They can also add any accessories they need, such as headphones. The equipment can be used both for their work and privately, while a security solution ensures that all data is protected and deleted at the end of the lifetime in accordance with data protection guidelines. Mobile devices are useless if the user cannot remotely access the information they need to complete their work, which is where platforms that provide access to this data come into play. At CHG-MERIDIAN, we rely on a private cloud solution and the virtualization of all of our applications. We also work with collaboration tools, including Office 365, which grant our employees access to the data they need from anywhere. We have also digitalized a number of document, contract, and invoice management processes so that we are no longer reliant on paper. Furthermore, all service requests over the course of the device's lifecycle can be made digitally. If a device is lost or defective, for example, a replacement one can be ordered through our self-service portal and sent to the employee's preferred address. The user experience is a key factor for us, which is why we place such a high value on the user-friendliness of our platforms. Technology and infrastructure alone will not automatically lead to a successful outcome. They have to be used in the right way, which is why our digital workplace strategy also focuses on the employee. It is crucial to provide the employees with everything they need to work digitally. To facilitate this, we have introduced a flexible working time model that enables our employees to choose when and where to work. We also provide a wide range of support to ensure that remote working is a success, as the switch to a digital workplace calls for a certain amount of adjustment. Through our interactive e-learning platforms, we offer online training, FAQs, and how-to videos, and share helpful tips for remote working. An internal team of experts, comprising representatives from a variety of departments, moderates the classes and is on hand to help via live chat. And we still offer analog professional development options, as every employee has their preferred method of learning. A year ago, we came up with the idea of a digital workplace café in order to get employees on board in face-to-face discussions. Here, they can meet our digital workplace experts for an informal chat over a cup of tea or coffee. We have now rolled out this idea worldwide. The digital workplace is an integral element of any digitalization strategy, and CHG-MERIDIAN is no exception. In order to implement the digital workplace successfully and optimize it in the long term, we believe there are three factors on which remote working depends. A study shows that the majority of employees want to take advantage of mobile working, but companies are yet to catch on to this trend. There is a lack of equipment and of coherent concepts, despite the fact that the digital workplace and digital skills are crucial factors in the success of Industry 4.0 and Work 4.0. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. In comparison to classic financing, by relying on a payment method that is based on actual usage, companies can avoid high capital expenditure on IT equipment or on installing and running IT solutions and servers. Collaboration tools can link people and share knowledge across time zones and physical locations, making work more efficient and productive. But the prospective users have to be on board. This white paper highlights the strategies that companies can adopt to improve employee buy-in for the digital workplace and shows how they can get the most out of their digital workplace investments.

We play an active role and we take our responsibility for the future seriously, guided by the desires and expectations of our customers, our employees, and the people who live in the communities where we operate. The fundamental principle underpinning our dealings with one another is fairness. We give our employees scope for personal development. And we create a sound basis on which to leverage ecological potential. Focusing on the future while adhering to established values is simply logical for us. This is why CHG-MERIDIAN supports development that is highly innovative, robust, and absolutely compatible with people and the environment. Wherever we operate around the world, we act fairly and with integrity. Our aim is to make an effective contribution to sustainable development and to conserving resources. To achieve this aim we use our core competency of innovative technology management. By professionally refurbishing and remarketing IT equipment we extend its useful life. From our own Technology and service centers in Germany and Norway we refurbishes over 500,000 IT devices for remarketing a year. Our remarketing experts sell refurbished equipment all over the world and are thus able to generate revenue for our customers that is usually in excess of normal market prices. We are continuing to expand our re-use concept so that we can offer all customers certification that their old equipment has been reused and disposed of in an eco-friendly and socially beneficial way. Thrifty by nature: switching our global server infrastructure to cloud technology has significantly cut our electricity consumption. Integrity is the foundation of our culture and the basis for our growth. We emphasise respect and trust - as well as strict adherence to rules - in our dealings with one another. We expect our business partners and customers to obey the law and to follow fair competitive practices. Standards that we also hold ourselves to. Our code of conduct has been binding for all CHG-MERIDIAN employees worldwide since 2013. It provides guidance for day-to-day conduct, aims to prevent misconduct, and is therefore fundamental for our future growth. Group Risk Controlling was also established as a new department. Since then, the chief compliance officer has been responsible for our whistleblowing system that enables business partners and customers as well as employees to report compliance violations anonymously. It is very important to us to be good corporate citizens in the communities where we are active. We take great pleasure from actively supporting initiatives, projects, and associations in our local communities. Or even initiating them ourselves.     EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|TAKING RESPONSIBILITY h2|For people and the environment h3|Choose your region SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Actively promoting refurbishment INTEGRITY IN PRACTICE FOR SOCIETY Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h6|BECAUSE IT’S WHO WE ARE sp|                                 pa|A wide range of projects, one common denominator: Our experience and services help our customers to be successful.

Instead, they always have access to the latest technology, which is tailored to their individual needs. CHG-MERIDIAN shows you how this can work. The assets themselves are just one of many building blocks in the process of digital transformation. For the digital workplace to maximize productivity, employees must want to use the technology and be trained in how to do so. And, of course, they need to be able to access the applications quickly and securely. Primarily, however, the digital workplace needs to be approached holistically as a 360° lifecycle concept that integrates all the individuals, departments, and processes that are key to its successful implementation. In concrete terms, this means that our end-to-end solution ticks all the boxes on both the technological and the financial front. As experienced technology managers, we are able to create a compelling business case for a customized business concept. Instead of being captive to one supplier and thus tying themselves to particular devices and pricing models, our customers enjoy maximum freedom thanks to our independence from banks and manufacturers. „From an organizational, commercial, technological, and human perspective, the digital workplace will succeed if all areas are taken into account and processes and solutions are geared to what employees and companies really need. Let us take you on this journey.” Lukas Wojoczek, Digital Workplace Sales bei CHG-MERIDIAN Firstly, under our corporate owned, personally enabled scheme – we help to motivate employees by involving them in the procurement of equipment. The most important advantages for employees at a glance: more employee productivity and motivation by working independent of location savings through consolidation and standardization of processes, residual value calculations and cost transparency shorter deployment times through self-service models, automation, vendor independence and decoupling of device and contract There is growing pressure to roll out digital workplace strategies. The technologies and processes deployed are often state-of-the-art, yet performance and employee productivity still lag behind. At this point, it becomes clear how important it is to get the employees on board with regard to a digital work culture. Data platforms allow us to organize and structure the flood of digital information in a sensible way when working remotely. They also enable us to work in virtual teams across borders. From anywhere. This type of flexibility is already the norm at CHG-MERIDIAN, and every day we learn something new. Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. Companies’ complicated and time-consuming order processes can make it feel like an eternity until employees receive their workplace IT equipment. This not only tries the patience of employees in all departments involved, but also causes them stress. After all, these days we are used to fast and user-friendly e-commerce portals such as Amazon. Companies can also deploy and benefit from this type of self-service portal. The Haufe Group is driving its digital transformation forward while focusing on creating a better user experience for customers and employees. Andreas Plaul, Head of IT, explains why. The Freiburg-based Haufe Group has won the Digital Transformer of the Year award. The accolade is presented to companies that have excelled in terms of their digital transformation. Andreas Plaul, Head of ICT at Haufe Group, explains how the company is shaping its digital journey. Computing power, platforms, and software can already be acquired as a service, so why not complete workplace IT? Discover the benefits that workplace as a service (WaaS) can have for your company. Don't run any unnecessary risks when it comes to remarketing or disposing of decommissioned IT equipment. Find out how cost-effective and permanent data erasure works. Smartphones and laptops have already become the norm at home. Yet many people find themselves stuck in an analog world at work, despite the fact that setting up a digital workplace is not that difficult with a little preparation and planning. You do not only need to be at the desk in your office to do your work. The home office and lounges at airports and train stations now provide plenty of opportunity to be productive. We show you how the latest technology can help you to use your working time most effectively. Cloud computing, the expansion of fiber broadband, mobile phone coverage – Germany is still lagging behind when it comes to the areas that are vital to the digital revolution. Unfortunately, this also applies to organizing work and equipping workplaces. We will show you how the right strategy can increase your efficiency and make the Digital Workplace the core of your digitization strategy. “We regard the digital workplace as a holistic system that adds significant value in all areas of your company that work with IT.” Lukas Wojoczek, Digital Workplace Sales It is almost impossible to calculate the overall costs of IT for a single workplace using conventional procurement and usage models. The latest digital workplace concepts can provide transparency. Today, employees expect their employer to provide a modern digital workplace that is equipped with the latest technology, is available 24/7, and enables them to complete their tasks from anywhere. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. In comparison to classic financing, by relying on a payment method that is based on actual usage, companies can avoid high capital expenditure on IT equipment or on installing and running IT solutions and servers. If you are planning a new IT infrastructure, the first question you will ask yourself, as the CFO, is whether the investment will pay off.

In order to implement the digital workplace successfully and optimize it in the long term, we believe there are three factors on which remote working depends: the technology, the platform, and – last but not least – the employees’ digital mindset. Find out what the technology factor is all about in this article. The ability to work remotely and from any location has always been important, not least in light of increasing digitalization and internationalization. And in recent months, it has become even more relevant. But the fact that not enough employees have access to mobile devices is a significant obstacle. According to the latest findings of the D21 Digital Index, less than half of all employees who use IT in the workplace are supplied with a laptop by their employer, and a mere 22 percent are given a smartphone. The picture is very similar around the world. So if the majority of workers are suddenly forced to work from home, it is not that easy to implement. The digital workplace plays an integral role in CHG-MERIDIAN’s digitalization strategy. We are continually working on improving it and on the question of how we can make it easier for our employees to work remotely. Technology provides the basis, and some procedures have proven themselves and become key elements of our remote strategy. More and more companies are realizing that technology is the basis for increasing productivity of remote workers. Working productively over the long term requires the latest technology, including upgrades at regular intervals, and each workplace component needs to offer adequate performance. Our remote working strategy also focuses on the individual technology requirements of our employees. Each user group has its own requirements: If an employee spends a lot of time traveling, then a lightweight device is the best fit. Convertible devices are also very popular. Other employees might be working with large data volumes, in which case higher performance is key. The basic equipment that we make available always consists of a smartphone and a laptop. The employee can select additional options according to their specific needs, which in many cases includes a noise-cancelling headset. From the outset, it was important to us to give our employees a say in device selection, as they know best what their requirements are. Having a choice between devices is increasingly important to younger colleagues, in particular. Getting them involved provides a boost to employee motivation. End-to-end device management is handled fully automatically via our inhouse online ordering portal, TESMA®. Here, each employee can select the mobile devices they need, without the long approval periods and installation processes. Upgrades can easily be arranged for a personal surcharge and are delivered promptly – to the employee’s home address if required. "It is important to me to be able to work remotely and have access to the latest communications technology. At CHG-MERIDIAN, I have the maximum possible freedom when choosing where I work from and the tools I use.” Employee at CHG-MERIDIAN’s Weingarten office. According to research by IDC, 62 percent of companies have to contend with employees taking matters into their own hands and buying the equipment they need rather than waiting a long time for delivery. Thanks to the high efficiency of our processes, we avoid this particular phenomenon. What’s more, employees are permitted to use their chosen devices privately. This has several advantages: The employee only has to get used to one IT environment, and we can prevent customer data and company documents and information from being sent from personal devices. Important considerations when it comes to compliance, security, and data protection. The risks to data security are higher with mobile devices, which is why we have created a solution that ensures that data on mobile devices is secure. Any time, anywhere. We have also developed robust solutions in the case of theft and other types of device loss. At the end of the useful life, our proprietary eraSURE® procedure ensures that data is secure by erasing storage units in laptops, tablets, and smartphones fully automatically. The digital workplace offers substantially more freedom and fulfilment for employees: they are less restricted in terms of when and where they work and are no longer tied to permanently installed devices such as desktop workstations. Instead, they always have access to the latest technology, which is tailored to their individual needs. CHG-MERIDIAN shows you how this can work. Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. Data platforms allow us to organize and structure the flood of digital information in a sensible way when working remotely. They also enable us to work in virtual teams across borders. From anywhere. This type of flexibility is already the norm at CHG-MERIDIAN, and every day we learn something new. Find out here what data platforms are all about. Feel free to contact us in case of questions!

KG, based in Frickingen, is an innovative market leader for office and environmental technology. CHG-MERIDIAN has made its internal IT processes fully future-proof and provided cost transparency. Efficient technology management is particularly important to Matthias Wochner, Managing Director at HSM. As he is responsible for finance, sales, and marketing he considers it essential to the company’s continued business success and growth. The extensive range of inhouse technologies relating to IT and production is one of the main pillars of HSM’s unique selling proposition. “Our manufacturing depth, with extensive machinery and equipment available inhouse, is what distinguishes us from most of our competitors. This means we are very flexible when dealing with our customers’ requirements, something that is very important with regard not only to large-scale equipment but also to specialized devices. Public-sector customers – such as government authorities – are a good example because they always stipulate very specific requirements.” One of the elements of this strategy is the restructuring of at HSM in the Managed Print Services project, which focused on all of the printers, photocopiers, scanners, and fax machines used in the company. The overarching aim was to increase their efficiency in terms of environmental impact and financial cost. This is where the independent experts from CHG-MERIDIAN came in, as partners for efficient technology management. Beforehand, HSM’s IT department had analyzed the company’s needs so that its future printing infrastructure requirements could be defined in detail. CHG-MERIDIAN helped to plan the new infrastructure and prepare the subsequent call for tenders. The defined requirements were demanding. For example, the devices and a 24-hour support service have to be available at all times, not only in Germany but also at HSM’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and the USA. The list of requirements included a 20 percent decrease in running costs, greater energy efficiency for the devices, and automated transmission of information to enable the replacement and billing of consumables. After the requirements analysis and request-for-proposal consulting, the main strategic assistance that CHG-MERIDIAN provided to HSM related to the development of efficient and flexible customized business concepts. The consolidation process led to the number of end devices at HSM being reduced from 150 to 90, a decrease of around 40 percent. Combined with the reduction in the operating costs of the individual devices, monthly costs fell by an impressive 50 percent despite the printing volume remaining unchanged, meaning the actual cost saving was significantly higher than the targeted 20 percent. This impressive feat was achieved by providing the best possible terms, reducing running costs, and using fewer devices. A further advantage of HSM’s manufacturing depth is the sheer breadth of the high-quality product portfolio. As Wochner explains: “This enables us to operate in all kinds of sales channels, from small devices sold online to maximum-security equipment and large machinery developed for specific projects. And between these extremes, we can exploit the fluid boundaries between our product categories to always offer our customers the HSM product that best meets their needs.” Wochner adds: “One of the main challenges for the future is the increasing complexity of business decisions and processes. It’s not always easy to deal with these complexities in a company of our size.” An expanding medium-sized business with global operations, HSM now exports 72 percent of its products to international markets, which are very fast-paced and subject to very different laws and regulations. Given its successful growth, HSM has therefore teamed up with CHG-MERIDIAN to take a closer look at its internal structures and processes. technology and service management system. The system has been customized so that specially defined shopping carts containing the necessary IT assets are available for each HSM location – with uniform terms and conditions worldwide and the same high quality and service level. This is where economies of scale and far greater transparency really come to bear: “This has a direct monetary effect for us but also makes the administration much more straightforward,” says Thorsten Schäfer, IT manager at HSM. “Such structures are entirely normal in a large company but not so in a medium-sized business like HSM. CHG-MERIDIAN was the ideal partner for us because it doesn’t just cover the funding; it’s also a single source of support for the entire technology lifecycle. What’s more, it provides the international structures that are so important to us, i.e. global availability without international billing.” The Managed Print Services project is just the first step in further cooperation with CHG-MERIDIAN on the restructuring of IT and technology management at HSM. Other initiatives will have the same aim: reducing complexity and using the company’s resources even more efficiently so that they can be targeted in areas where they will harness potential for growth in relation to customers, markets, and products. The example of HSM impressively demonstrates how CHG-Meridian achieves maximum efficiency for financial and operational spending thanks to its in-depth understanding of capital expenditure at every stage of the technology lifecycle.       EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Company: Hermann Schwelling Maschinenbau GmbH + Co.

CHG-MERIDIAN was able to the lighten the load by finding a way to run their new data centers in a sustainable and energy-efficient manner. Demag Cranes, now part of the Terex group of companies, made the strategic decision to move their SAP systems, whose operation was previously outsourced, to their own IT infrastructure. This required the construction of three , two at the headquarters in Düsseldorf and one at their Wetter site. The Management Board hoped to achieve considerable cost savings and an increase in quality and uptime. To do this, the IT environment that had developed over time was consolidated and transferred to state-of-the-art data centers capable of providing the necessary computing performance and security. Because environmental protection is enshrined in TEREX’s corporate values, it was important for more than just financial reasons to achieve a high degree of energy efficiency. CHG-MERIDIAN developed a suitable corporate strategy to achieve better IT performance. “Our new data centers have allowed us to run our SAP systems inhouse and to make our corporate strategy in the areas of sustainability and energy efficiency more credible. Without the support of the consultants at CHG-MERIDIAN we wouldn’t have been able to deliver the project in this way and obtain certification from TÜV Rheinland,” explains Friedhelm Zahn, Head of IT Infrastructure at Demag Cranes AG. In early 2012, CHG-MERIDIAN teamed up with product standards regulator TÜV Rheinland Consulting to launch the ‘energy-efficient data center’ certification initiative. “Our aim is to reduce the amount of energy consumed, and thereby CO2 emitted, by large data centers,” says Hans-Jörg Heming, Senior Consultant at CHG-MERIDIAN responsible for the complex project at the long-standing partner. The specialist consultants at CHG-MERIDIAN were able to bring their technological expertise from numerous projects into play, make the necessary resources available, and also highlight innovative financing models. Planning for the data centers began in early 2011 and the contract for the build was awarded in May. Three months passed between the granting of the building permit and the start of the ground works, so that building started in August. The prefabricated building was constructed during September and October, and the interior works began in November. The data centers were completed in December and brought online. After one year of operation, the certificates for energy efficiency and CAT II+ operational security were awarded in January 2013. CHG-MERIDIAN, which is not tied to specific suppliers, provided consulting and project management expertise. This benefited DEMAG when it was planning the data center specifications, running the project, and obtaining TÜV certification.

Discover the benefits that workplace as a service (WaaS) can have for your company. Ordered today, delivered tomorrow – a nice idea, but not one that can be applied to workplace IT. Before a purchase can go ahead, there are extensive budget planning and tender processes to go through, and there are often long contract phases for maintenance and support to contend with. And when all the various elements finally arrive, you have to configure the PC or laptop, install the necessary applications, and integrate the device into the network. A lengthy process that can take weeks to complete. In many cases, little thought is given to data erasure and asset disposal in line with legal requirements at the end of the equipment’s useful life. Conventional IT procurement is also a headache when it comes to budget planning. Because the expense is spread over a wide range of items, it is very difficult to calculate the true costs. Then there are the risks over the lifecycle, such as hardware defects, loss, or theft. The workplace as a service (WaaS) model is an extension of software as a service (SaaS). The user is provided with the hardware as well as the necessary software, and the company is invoiced a fixed monthly amount. Services such as insurance and data erasure at the end of the term can also be incorporated into the lease payment. Put simply, the user is provided with an all-inclusive workplace. The traditional process is to acquire hardware and software, add it to the fixed assets, and depreciate it over several years. But varying depreciation periods and rules reduce transparency and make accounting more complex. With the lease model, the assets including the software remain the property of the service provider. As the lessee, you only need to enter the running costs into the books. Fixed rates that cover the hardware and all services offer further benefits. Not many companies can say with complete certainty how much their workplace IT costs. A leased workplace will cost precisely the agreed amount each month. This creates transparency and planning certainty over the entire term of the lease. With WaaS, the new workplace IT is available within a matter of days. A self-service portal, for example, allows employees to choose their preferred hardware and software combination from a selection defined by the employer, which increases their satisfaction and commitment to the company. A further advantage of the lease model is its greater flexibility. A wide range of workplace environments, including multiple screens and mobile devices, can be put together using the self-service portal and adapted to the job profile. All devices provide the work environment that the user is familiar with, and enable the user to connect to the corporate network at the click of a button without any additional configuration. When , few companies give much thought to what will happen to new equipment once its useful life is over. In many cases, the data it contains is not erased properly, which is a clear breach of the law and can lead to hefty fines. Many lease models include and remarketing or disposal of decommissioned assets as part of the contract. Leasing instead of buying – what has long been the norm for software can now also be applied to workplace IT. WaaS has many advantages: The employee gets a complete, ready-made work environment, the IT department has less work to do, and the finance department finally knows exactly what the costs. A real win-win situation for everyone involved. Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. The digital workplace is an integral element of any digitalization strategy, and CHG-MERIDIAN is no exception. In order to implement the digital workplace successfully and optimize it in the long term, we believe there are three factors on which remote working depends. There is growing pressure to roll out digital workplace strategies. The technologies and processes deployed are often state-of-the-art, yet performance and employee productivity still lag behind.

They can now see what more needs to be done. The coronavirus pandemic in 2020 has presented IT managers and CEOs with the challenge of having to make mobile workplaces and the appropriate infrastructure available to their employees almost overnight. Some companies were better prepared for this than others, and quite a few had had no experience at all with mobile working until now. There were no laptops or mobile phones for employees to use, and certainly no digital platforms to allow employees to communicate, collaborate, and securely access data remotely. What’s more, employees who would regularly stand at the copier suddenly had to deal with a completely new working environment involving digital communication platforms and business processes. But being thrown in at the deep end like this also has its benefits, as the speed of digitalization has been given a boost. If there is a positive to be taken from the coronavirus crisis, it is the acceleration of the digital transformation. Companies that had already invested in digital workplaces in the past were able to react quickly and confidently to the crisis. Everyone else had to improvise and acquire mobile devices at short notice, which was not easy in light of supply bottlenecks and rising prices. One of the lessons to be learned from the crisis is that no one can avoid digitalization; the digital workplace is an important and necessary investment if the digital transformation is to be delivered. Now it is up to companies to review their improvised measures and, where necessary, to correct and optimize them to bring them in line with a future-proof and sustainable digitalization strategy. When faced with an economic crisis and low growth rates, cost-cutting measures may seem a more obvious option than spending, but investment in digital workplaces can pay off through the hardware and rising productivity alone, as has already been proven in . The first step is to define the long-term goal: There is more to the digital workplace than hardware of course, but it simply cannot function without it. It would be a mistake to opt for lower performance for the sake of saving money, especially when you put the figures into context. An investment of around €1,500 per employee is perfectly justified in view of the productivity gains and the benefits for the company. The crisis has clearly shown this. Companies that had already spent money on their employees’ hardware before the coronavirus outbreak are now seeing this investment pay off. The best hardware will be of little use if there is no suitable digital infrastructure behind it, such as automated processes, an appropriate application platform, and the right collaboration tools. Employees must be able to securely access data and services remotely. This type of platform has numerous benefits. Not only does it simplify mobile working and communications, it also ensures that end devices can be easily replaced or exchanged. Because when the platform is right, work no longer depends on individual end devices, and these can be flexibly exchanged without causing downtime. Employees can access the platform from both their smartphone and their laptop, and the data is available from all devices. Avoiding downtime and delays is not only convenient and practical, it also saves costs, which is why you should take care to select the right platform. Change can be a hassle, and having to get used to digital working methods can be a huge challenge for many employees. They have to familiarize themselves with a new digital environment: video calls instead of meeting rooms, online events, and organization via social networks. This is new territory for many, and it takes time to get used to it. Which is why it is all the more important to get the employees on board as early as possible. Because a long-term, cost-optimized digital workplace plan consists of three essential building blocks: the right hardware, a suitable platform, and the digital mindset of the workforce. Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems?

Do you want greater transparency regarding the capacity utilization in your international fleet? We will support you all the way, from the tender process to the return of your material handling vehicles, and achieve a lasting reduction in your total cost of ownership (TCO). Thanks to flexible financial engineering, we can make it easier to manage your material handling equipment. All while achieving cost savings of up to 50 percent. How well do you know your material handling fleet? What is the total cost per vehicle? Our experts can develop customized and cost-optimized fleet concepts by calculating the optimal useful life of each vehicle category based on TCO aspects. Repair costs, downtime, and maintenance work increase disproportionately once a certain number of operating hours has been reached. The optimal useful life varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and from product to product. The wear and tear on an electric pallet truck, for example, is different to that of a counterbalanced truck with a diesel engine. Are you looking to switch manufacturers, but without the hassle of new contracts and protracted negotiations? Simply order your new vehicles and we will integrate them into the existing agreements. These contracts are and will remain perfectly tailored to your company, of course, both in Europe and internationally. Our experts know the different brands, types, and classes of material handling vehicles. Each of them has many years of industry experience and a sound knowledge of the technology and its application. As independent technology managers, we give recommendations based on clear figures, facts, and benchmark comparisons. This is how we achieve optimal fleet structures and contracts geared towards TCO, with potential savings of up to 50 percent. If you operate internationally, then you probably know how demanding it is to cost-effectively monitor and control an equipment fleet on a large scale. That is why we have evolved into a strong international partner for our customers. We are there for you, whether you operate in Europe, Australia, the US, or Mexico or have different regional manufacturers and service partners. We cover your entire international fleet in a single contract, and you can meet all costs with a flat monthly payment if you prefer. Flexible and transparent, across countries, manufacturers, and partners, and in compliance with regional tax laws and legal provisions. You can enjoy the long-term benefits of an internationally uniform process for managing your material handling vehicles, as well as lower costs and less administrative effort. How many vehicles do you have? From which manufacturers? What is the capacity utilization? How high are the total costs? What type of lift masts are installed, and what type of batteries? Which contract is running out, and when? Our digital platform TESMA® creates transparency by bringing together administrative and technical data. Its smart reporting features allow you to conduct extensive structural and usage analysis, and enable precise investment planning based on vehicle, location, and country. It also enables the precise and cause-related allocation of all expenses. Do you want greater flexibility in your fleet management? We’ve got it covered. For example, we can base your lease instalments on your capacity utilization by billing you per operating hour (pay-by-the-hour). If the number of hours falls, so does your monthly lease instalment. This has a positive impact on your cash flow and allows you to feel more relaxed about fluctuating usage. You also have the option to adapt the size of your fleet to your needs, while early-return models make it easier to upgrade your equipment. We will combine all of this into a transparent and predictable lease instalment under one contract. You can also integrate your existing material handling vehicles into the contract by taking advantage of our sale and leaseback model.

Since then, it has become clear that this is not a temporary switch, but the start of a longer journey – including in terms of technology. When the coronavirus pandemic broke out, thousands of home workstations had to be set up at very short notice. According to trade association Bitkom, half of all employees were working from home for some or all of the time by the end of March. Many companies struggled to cope with the new requirements. “The coronavirus pandemic has transported the world of work into its digital future and highlighted the areas in which IT managers still need to improve their digital workplace strategy,” says Oliver Schorer, CIO and a member of the Board of Management of CHG-MERIDIAN. Companies that had invested in remote working before the pandemic had an advantage. This was confirmed to us by many of the CIOs to whom we spoke, including Andreas Plaul, Head of ICT Services at the Haufe Group. “Mobile working was well established in our firm before the coronavirus crisis, so our employees already had the devices they needed to be able to work from home. This investment paid off, because it enabled more than 2,000 employees to switch to mobile working without any issues,” he explains. Thomas Henzler, CIO at fan and blower manufacturer Piller, had also invested in mobile working before the pandemic and had switched the entire work and collaboration infrastructure over to remote working. This included making changes to the IT infrastructure and introducing new tools, such as Microsoft Teams and SharePoint Online. “Every employee now has their own OneDrive, enabling them to access all data on any device from wherever they are,” says Henzler. However, Andreas Plaul from the Haufe Group points out that there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution when it comes to the digital workplace: “We have various workplace configurations that give employees a great deal of mobility and are geared to the specific needs of the individual departments.” We have various workplace configurations that give employees a great deal of mobility and are geared to the specific needs of the individual departments. Oliver Schorer sees mobile working as just one aspect of an overall concept. “The is an integrated usage concept that requires the right technology, the right platform and the right mindset. It needs to be adaptable because the requirements of companies and employees are continuously evolving. Businesses that succeed in managing their digital workplaces as flexibly as possible – and on an international scale – will be the ones that see the most benefit.” Thomas Henzler also views the digital workplace in the broader context of digitalization: “Our digital workplaces are a combination of processes and technologies on the one hand and the ability to deploy them efficiently on the other,” he explains. “This combination creates a flexible structure that enables us to work on almost any device available, including iPads, iPhones, and laptops.” “A digital workplace that addresses all of these aspects is more easily accepted by employees,” affirms Peter Janze, Managing Director and CIO of Digital@M, the digital consultancy of the City of Munich. He also confirms that buy-in is more likely, the more that processes have already been digitalized. Nonetheless, he also believes that technology is just one part of the bigger picture. “The switch to digital workplaces needs to be accompanied by internal marketing, the influence of opinion leaders, and other supporting activities,” says Janze. In terms of applications, the main feature of remote working over the past few months has been the use of online and video meetings. According to a joint study conducted by the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering (IAO) and the German Association for Personnel Management (DGFP), a substantial 93 percent of the surveyed companies said that they held online or video conferences all the time. Almost two-thirds reported that they now conducted staff appraisal meetings digitally and 57 percent said that they even used video conferencing to interview job applicants. “Remote working is here to stay and will form the basis for the systematic digitalization of business processes and the digital workplace,” predicts Janze. He also emphasizes that the digital workplace journey has by no means reached the end, especially from a technological perspective: “The digital workplace does not just come in the form of new IT infrastructure that fosters collaboration, it also underlines the need for a new architecture.” Peter Janze is probably right that remote working will remain popular across the board even after the coronavirus crisis. People who are now working from home are satisfied on the whole, despite some initial concerns. This has been confirmed by a number of surveys. According to a report from the Bavarian Research Institute for Digital Transformation (bidt), “there is a very strong desire to be able to work from home more, with around 68 percent of the surveyed employees saying that they wanted to work from home more regularly after the coronavirus crisis.” This white paper highlights the strategies that companies can adopt to improve employee buy-in for the digital workplace and shows how they can get the most out of their digital workplace investments.    Andreas Plaul, Head of ICT Services at the Haufe Group  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|Remote working is the new normal h2|Digital workplaces form part of the bigger picture Working from home or remotely is here to stay h3|Choose your region DIGITAL WORKPLACE: HOW YOU CAN INCREASE EMPLOYEE BUY-IN Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media h6|The view from CIOs sp|                                  pdf, 1 MB  pa|Data platforms allow us to organize and structure the flood of digital information in a sensible way when working remotely. They also enable us to work in virtual teams across borders. From anywhere. This type of flexibility is already the norm at CHG-MERIDIAN, and every day we learn something new. Find out here what data platforms are all about. The best technical equipment is useless if you do not have full access to data and cannot communicate seamlessly with the corporate environment when working remotely. The digital workplace involves more than just providing mobile devices, it is also about creating an environment where employees can access all the information and processes they need to make their work simple and successful. Making this environment available is only part of the equation; you also need to train employees on how to use virtual spaces to communicate and share information. Read on to learn more about the day-to-day digitalization of remote working at CHG-MERIDIAN. According to the findings of the latest D21 Digital Index, 46 percent of employees are given a laptop to work on, but only 16 percent have remote access to their data. This lowly figure becomes a particular challenge when the bulk of the workforce suddenly has to work from home. There are various ways to give remote workers access to company data, such as using a VPN to access the company server. At CHG-MERIDIAN, we decided to use a private cloud. Our cloud-based desktop virtualization makes working remotely much easier by providing a desktop environment on the remote user’s device via the internet. This allows us to create entire workplaces in the cloud which can be accessed from anywhere via an internet connection. To the employee, the software looks like their usual PC in the office, but it is actually running in a central data center. And since employees access company and customer data from a range of devices and locations, the aspect of data security, authentication, and encryption is hugely important. According to , a study by Bitkom Research on behalf of KPMG, compliance with GDPR is the top criterion when choosing a cloud provider. There are some factors that companies have little control over, such as the connection that their employees have to the wide area network. That is why network coverage and bandwidth should always be taken into account when developing remote working solutions. Collaboration tools and virtual meetings are becoming increasingly important, but shows that technical problems can hinder the successful use of these tools. When asked about obstacles to deployment and adding value, companies cited a lack of resources and tool compatibility, as well as difficulties with integrating tools from different vendors and securing multimedia traffic (audio, video, messaging). The performance and reliability of the technology, and the fact that many employees are not on the system yet, were right at the top of the list. There are many collaboration tools on the market, and they all have their advantages and drawbacks. Performance and the ability to integrate into the existing software landscape were important factors for us when choosing a product, which is why we opted for Microsoft Teams from the Office 365 suite. Choosing the tool is only the beginning, as you also need to learn how to collaborate effectively. We proactively support our employees in this respect. How do I switch between monitors? How do I enter presentation mode? How can I transfer conference calls from my smartphone to my desktop PC, or vice versa, without losing the connection? The way in which procurement and service management are handled should also be considered when discussing the right platform strategy for the digital workplace. How can new devices be ordered remotely? What happens if the device is lost or damaged? How can you ensure that employees can continue working without any downtime, and are not frustrated by long periods of waiting? At CHG-MERIDIAN, we have set up our own self-service portal where each employee can select the mobile devices they need just like they are used to from large, user-friendly online retail platforms. They can also use it to request a replacement device if theirs has been lost or is defective, for example. Delivery to their home address is simple and straightforward. “Every one of our remote workplaces has access to a comprehensive service and support network that spans the entire useful life of devices and meets all of the remote worker’s individual requirements. We believe that this level of support is essential to employee acceptance and a positive user experience.” Service Design, CHG-MERIDIAN AG Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. The digital workplace is an integral element of any digitalization strategy, and CHG-MERIDIAN is no exception. In order to implement the digital workplace successfully and optimize it in the long term, we believe there are three factors on which remote working depends. The digital transformation of business makes innovative payment models such as pay-per-use possible. In comparison to classic financing, by relying on a payment method that is based on actual usage, companies can avoid high capital expenditure on IT equipment or on installing and running IT solutions and servers. Collaboration tools can link people and share knowledge across time zones and physical locations, making work more efficient and productive. But the prospective users have to be on board. Innovative tools and software components are worth nothing if the IT infrastructure behind them is not up to scratch. This white paper uses current examples to show how IT infrastructure can be a limiting factor and provides tips on how you can build an agile, flexible, and future-proof infrastructure tailored to your own specific requirements.

The technologies and processes deployed are often state-of-the-art, yet performance and employee productivity still lag behind. At this point, it becomes clear how important it is to get the employees on board with regard to a digital work culture. The following article highlights the key role that employees play in any digitalization strategy. Almost 75 percent of European IT and HR Managers who took part in PAC’s survey believe that the quality of the working environment has a strong influence on, and is even vital to, the success of their business. But what happens if the working environment changes from one day to the next? Over the last few weeks, companies have worked flat out to enable remote working, and the majority of employees have had to get used to a new workplace. This has not been straightforward for every employee, and many have been left disgruntled rather than enthusiastic. Some find it difficult to get used to the new way of working, others say they lack an emotional connection. For the affected companies, this can have a significant impact if they are losing out on valuable potential. There are many reasons for resistance to change. Some people approach new things with skepticism, and they don’t necessarily see the benefits of changing the way in which they work. Some feel overwhelmed or left to cope with their new working environment alone. Others fear that their workload will increase and that they’ll need to take additional time to get up to speed. Quite often, any hurdles to overcome are down to the variety of functions and the complexity that the new working environment entails. Christian Bredlow, founder and CEO of the agency Digital Mindset, is well aware of the importance of getting the workforce on board: “Every digital workplace, every social intranet, and every digitalization project will ultimately be judged by the degree to which users buy in to the new platform.” “Implementing the digital workplace successfully in the long term will require investment in the employees’ digital mindset, as the technology is only as efficient as the employees who use it. In my view, three factors are essential to making remote working a success: the technology, the platform, and the person.” Digital Workplace Sales, CHG-MERIDIAN AG From the outset, the focus of CHG-MERIDIAN’s remote-working strategy was on our employees and their individual requirements. We assumed that the switch from the traditional to the digital workplace would require a certain amount of familiarization, and our main goal was to provide an environment in which our colleagues could learn to use the technology with confidence and feel motivated to work. To facilitate this, we have introduced a flexible working time model that enables our employees to choose when and where to work. We have also set up interactive e-learning platforms offering online training, FAQs, and how-to videos. An internal team of experts moderates the classes and is on hand to help via live chat. And we still offer analog professional development options, as every employee has their preferred method of learning. Last year, for example, we came up with the idea of a digital workplace café where employees can meet our digital workplace experts for a chat over a cup of tea or coffee. And there are many more ways of fostering a digital mindset. KAEFER, for example, is encouraging its staff to engage in self-learning through play (gamification). “We want our employees to be self-motivated when there are new challenges to be tackled and not to have to wait for training to be prescribed,” says CIO Oestmann. Companies that want to accelerate digital processes and improve their business outcomes should keep an eye on the workplace experience and thus on their employees’ motivation. In this context, we mean the value of the experience offered by the digital workplace. According to psychology professor , this includes the need for self-determined action (autonomy), for experiencing something new (stimulation), and for respect and appreciation (popularity). A good user experience is a key factor in creating value and achieving success. Management consultancy estimates that productivity is 18 percent higher in companies with strong commitment levels, while revenue growth is two and a half times bigger and profits are twice as high. The decisive factor in achieving a continuous user experience is an uninterrupted chain of experiences throughout the device lifecycle. Read on to learn how this might work: To create a solid foundation for the UX, companies must allow employees to choose their equipment from a pre-defined shopping cart, rather than assigning hardware to them. After all, employees know best which devices are the most useful for their tasks. The easiest and most cost-effective way to do this is via a self-service portal with individual employee accounts and a shopping cart function. It allows users to configure their workplace and order their equipment themselves, increasing user satisfaction and reducing the burden on procurement and IT. The provisioning of end devices can also be made into an experience, for example through attractive packaging (unboxing effect) or rollout events. If not pre-configured, then each device should be easy and quick to set up. Options for achieving this range from how-to videos and set-up assistants to automated configuration via managed desktop or enterprise mobility solutions. Using technology requires the right skill set, and there is a constant flow of new products on the market. That is why proactively offering tips and advice to employees to help with their day-to-day tasks can make it easier for them to get to grips with the digital workplace. How do I switch between monitors? How do I enter presentation mode? How can I transfer conference calls from my smartphone to my desktop PC, or vice versa, without losing the connection? There are many ways to share such information, including knowledge portals, newsletters, podcasts, and even hosted themed events. Users want to work with equipment that is appropriate for their tasks, and they also expect their business devices to be at least as technologically advanced as their personal ones ( ). That is why it is important that the digital workplace can be flexibly expanded, modified, and modernized, for example through proactive, job-specific add/change options that immediately add the hardware to the employee’s shopping cart on the self-service portal. Informing users of the advantages of each hardware item further increases satisfaction levels Mobile working is right on trend. But what do you need to do so that your employees can work remotely without any problems? Read on to find out how CHG-MERIDIAN implemented the digital workplace, and what elements were key to this. The digital workplace is an integral element of any digitalization strategy, and CHG-MERIDIAN is no exception. In order to implement the digital workplace successfully and optimize it in the long term, we believe there are three factors on which remote working depends. Data platforms allow us to organize and structure the flood of digital information in a sensible way when working remotely. They also enable us to work in virtual teams across borders. From anywhere. This type of flexibility is already the norm at CHG-MERIDIAN, and every day we learn something new. Find out here what data platforms are all about. This white paper highlights the strategies that companies can adopt to improve employee buy-in for the digital workplace and shows how they can get the most out of their digital workplace investments. A good user experience is an important factor in creating value and achieving success. It enables companies to keep employees happy, accelerate digital change processes, and improve business outcomes. A digital workplace journey makes this easier to achieve than you might think.    Your personal Contact  Discover the other solutions and services that we provide Please contact us!

CHG-MERIDIAN provided all the necessary expertise and created a customized business concept. In the school’s large learning lab the word ‘quiet’ is splashed across one wall in ten languages, on the opposite wall a Chinese proverb is writ large: “When the wind of change blows, some build walls while others build windmills.” The municipal authority of Bad Rappenau built ‘windmills’ with support from CHG-MERIDIAN. The finance and technology management company won the contract in April 2014 for the project – put out to tender across Europe – of providing a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure, including administration systems, for the school. It is a showpiece project that points to the future, and it has been flexibly adapted to the and the required computing power. “This project is so exciting for us because we can provide a variety of services. These include advice on the sourcing of hardware, software distribution, rollout and installation of equipment, TÜV-certified data erasure with , IT support, financing, and support for the project partner throughout the project,” says Wolfgang Huber, Key Account Manager at CHG-MERIDIAN. “The project is very extensive and complex,” adds Michael Grubbe, Head of IT at the municipal authority of Bad Rappenau. Regarding the complexity he adds: “An all-day school such as Verbundschule Bad Rappenau has specific IT needs. The school is undergoing a permanent process of change.” After all, student numbers are no longer predictable because primary schools’ recommendations about the type of secondary school children should attend are now not binding. This means the municipal authority can no longer estimate how its IT needs will develop. “It was a big challenge for us to calculate the right amount of equipment,” Key Account Manager Wolfgang Huber explains. The flexible contract with CHG-MERIDIAN allows for adjustments to the number of assets to match requirements. Huber emphasizes: “The municipal authority can increase or decrease the number of assets at any time up to the end of the 60-month term. If the number of students falls, and we need to take back assets early, then we can remarket these elsewhere.” The municipal authority in Bad Rappenau values this highly. “The flexibility that the contract provides is very important to us. It is the icing on the cake,” says Grubbe of the modern IT solution. First of all, existing fat clients were replaced with quiet thin clients and all monitors were replaced with new energy-efficient TFTs to reduce noise in the teaching areas. New projectors and printers were also installed. As the single point of contact, CHG-MERIDIAN steered and managed all processes of the . It also acted as project manager to coordinate a project team consisting of a systems house and several service providers, such as software and phone system vendors. A further element of the project was the installation of the server room, including a management server, a storage unit, a server farm, and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The server room also houses the school’s new phone system and the DSL line. The switch to a new phone system, bringing together the phone numbers of all schools at the site, was carried out as a subproject. As part of the project the switches and network cables in the other buildings of the main campus were renewed, so that all buildings have high-speed access to the central system. A small back-up system with a UPS was also set up. The entire infrastructure – server, phone system, back up, and UPS – can be scaled up or down at any time to match the number of students. The comprehensive reconfiguration of the IT infrastructure at Verbundschule Bad Rappenau is a great example of a groundbreaking pilot project from CHG-MERIDIAN that can be easily applied to other schools. “I had expected more problems. It was hassle-free, and every project step ran smoothly despite everything having to be carried out during the school holidays. The teamwork on the school’s project was very professional and customer-oriented. From a contractual point of view the project is highly complex, but we are very satisfied with the implementation and handling, which was in no small part down to CHG-MERIDIAN’s lack of bureaucracy,” said Grubbe. Yvonne Geier, deputy head at the school, is also satisfied: “Everything is very stable, the technology is very reliable. And that is of course very important to the running of the school. It’s also great that we can restrict access to the system to certain departments or individual students, as it allows us to have children of all levels and from all classes sitting, working, and learning side by side.” Huber adds: “We would like to use this model, which we were able to implement with the right service providers, in the future for other municipalities. Individual requirements can be adapted at any time, of course.” Many schools often find the inflexible and cost-intensive approaches to new IT solutions prohibitive. At Verbundschule Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN has managed to find the best custom solution and financing option – and its independence from banks, manufacturers, and service providers has been a key element in this. Thanks to the expertise gained from the successful implementation in Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN now has the tools to establish state-of-the-art, IT-based learning environments that support media literacy in an appealing way at other schools. * Source: Arbeitsbericht des Büros für Technikfolgen-Abschätzung beim Deutschen Bundestag [Report of the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag], 2007. ** Source: Study by the Allensbach Institute, 2013.      WOLFGANG HUBER, KEY ACCOUNT MANAGER AT CHG-MERIDIAN  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Verbundschule Bad Rappenau was established in the 2013/2014 academic year and combines a primary school with several types of secondary school* In total there are around 1,200 students and more than 100 teachers.

CHG-MERIDIAN is a strong and committed partner of these charitable organizations. The information available on the internet is the key to education, communication, and a better future for school children in Kenya. Thousands of miles away, Barbara Toorens is director of external relations at the Belgian aid organization Close the Gap (CtG). “Access to computers and the internet can open up the world to these people,” she explains. Without CtG the school would probably still not have any high-grade computers. The term used for this invisible border between societies who have ready access to digital resources, and those who do not, is ‘digital divide’. CtG aims to overcome these borders sustainably with the help of technology donations from European companies to non-profit projects in developing countries. CHG-MERIDIAN supports this with , such as those for customers in Belgium and Luxembourg, where new communications technology purchases are combined with the donation of old IT equipment for re-use in Africa, Asia and South America. Deloitte Belgium decided to do this when it invested in 3,000 iPhones. “Social responsibility is a value that is deeply enshrined in our corporate culture,” says Guy Lucq, Chief Information Officer at Deloitte in Brussels. With the help of CHG-MERIDIAN, Deloitte bought a certificate for each new device to confirm that decommissioned in Burundi, a process handled by CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop. Guy Lucq continues: “By renewing our communications technology in this way, we are ensuring that more than 20,000 old cellphones enter the material cycle in Africa responsibly.” CHG-MERIDIAN made certain that the process was smooth, transparent, and fast. Stefan Ertel, Executive Vice President at CHG-MERIDIAN, says: “There is an increasing number of companies that want to actively engage as corporate citizens, but many of them lack the structures that would enable them to firmly integrate corporate social responsibility activities into their business models.” CHG-MERIDIAN filled this gap in 2013. Since then, customers obtaining new hardware through the Belgian subsidiary have been able to arrange for its reuse at the end of the period of use. Ertel adds: “What is unique is that we have successfully virtualized these processes – and we are the first technology management provider worldwide to do so.” This also applies to the procurement of regular IT equipment. For example, when obtaining finance for new laptops, customers can donate some or all of the used equipment to CtG on the basis of the equipment’s projected fair value. Or they can combine their investment with the purchase of recycling certificates. With every project it has run since 2003, CtG has demonstrated the huge potential of donations. By 2014 the aid organization had collected around a quarter of a million donated computers, supporting nearly 3,500 projects in over 50 countries. Environmentally friendly recycling of used equipment also requires clear structures, as the stripping of electronic waste, which can be hazardous to humans and the environment, is widespread in Africa and Asia. This is where CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop comes in. The certificates bought by donors ensure that recycling is carried out to the highest standards. Local start-ups and specialist waste management companies in Europe work hand in hand to make valuable materials in the equipment – which can amount to small fortunes – re-usable. Security is crucial when donating company IT equipment to aid organizations, as the protection of sensitive data must be guaranteed. CHG-MERIDIAN’s program offers certified data erasure to match customer needs at the end of the period of use. The erasure solutions are fully certified, including by the TÜV product standards regulator and DEKRA. Every year, hundreds of thousands of assets are prepared for re-use after the end of their leasing period, including around 100,000 erasures, at CHG-MERIDIAN’s Technology and Service Center in Germany. Deloitte plans to continue supporting aid projects through its IT donations, however, standard solutions are not being considered. From a business point of view, it is imperative to evaluate each case individually. “That’s why we need flexibility. And our long-standing business partner CHG-MERIDIAN offered us exactly this flexibility in this project,” says Lucq. CHG-MERIDIAN is a leader in the market thanks to this innovative business model. Following a successful pilot the corporate social responsibility service will be rolled out in other countries, and there is a lot of interest across Europe. “The potential for such processes is huge,” says Stefan Ertel. And this also applies to other capital assets that could be donated at the end of their period of use. European companies donate technology for a good cause: CHG-MERIDIAN offers its customers intelligent solutions to support their socially and ecologically sensible aid projects at Close the Gap and WorldLoop.      Deloitte’s CIO, Guy Lucq li|menu not loaded Digital divide is the term used to describe the gap between people with full access to the digital world and those who remain mainly cut off from it. It affects countries and entire regions, for example East Africa, but also parts of society in western industrialized countries. Close the Gap was founded in 2003 as a student project at the University of Brussels. The idea is to take donations of high-grade used computers from European companies and use them to support educational and social projects, particularly in East Africa. Promotes economic and social development, especially in rural areas, in developing and newly industrialized countries. Close the Gap supports aid projects in over 50 countries worldwide. WorldLoop was founded as a sister organization to Close the Gap in 2008. Its purpose is to promote the establishment of small companies in developing countries that specialize in the responsible recycling of old computers and communications technology. A further objective is to contain the widespread stripping of electronic waste, which is hazardous to human health and the environment. h1|PROVIDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES h2|More than just a website Recycling combined with a strong sense of responsibility Aid projects that promote independence in local markets Security, trust, and future success are closely connected CHG-Meridian Close the gap Facts on the digital divide, Close the Gap, and WorldLoop h3|Choose your region Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                  Image 1 / 4 Image 2 / 4 Image 3 / 4 Image 4 / 4    pa|TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT AT HSM HSM GmbH + CO. KG, based in Frickingen, is an innovative market leader for office and environmental technology. CHG-MERIDIAN has made its internal IT processes fully future-proof and provided cost transparency. Efficient technology management is particularly important to Matthias Wochner, Managing Director at HSM. As he is responsible for finance, sales, and marketing he considers it essential to the company’s continued business success and growth. The extensive range of inhouse technologies relating to IT and production is one of the main pillars of HSM’s unique selling proposition. “Our manufacturing depth, with extensive machinery and equipment available inhouse, is what distinguishes us from most of our competitors. This means we are very flexible when dealing with our customers’ requirements, something that is very important with regard not only to large-scale equipment but also to specialized devices. Public-sector customers – such as government authorities – are a good example because they always stipulate very specific requirements.” One of the elements of this strategy is the restructuring of at HSM in the Managed Print Services project, which focused on all of the printers, photocopiers, scanners, and fax machines used in the company. The overarching aim was to increase their efficiency in terms of environmental impact and financial cost. This is where the independent experts from CHG-MERIDIAN came in, as partners for efficient technology management. Beforehand, HSM’s IT department had analyzed the company’s needs so that its future printing infrastructure requirements could be defined in detail. CHG-MERIDIAN helped to plan the new infrastructure and prepare the subsequent call for tenders. The defined requirements were demanding. For example, the devices and a 24-hour support service have to be available at all times, not only in Germany but also at HSM’s subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, France, Poland, and the USA. The list of requirements included a 20 percent decrease in running costs, greater energy efficiency for the devices, and automated transmission of information to enable the replacement and billing of consumables. After the requirements analysis and request-for-proposal consulting, the main strategic assistance that CHG-MERIDIAN provided to HSM related to the development of efficient and flexible customized business concepts. The consolidation process led to the number of end devices at HSM being reduced from 150 to 90, a decrease of around 40 percent. Combined with the reduction in the operating costs of the individual devices, monthly costs fell by an impressive 50 percent despite the printing volume remaining unchanged, meaning the actual cost saving was significantly higher than the targeted 20 percent. This impressive feat was achieved by providing the best possible terms, reducing running costs, and using fewer devices. A further advantage of HSM’s manufacturing depth is the sheer breadth of the high-quality product portfolio. As Wochner explains: “This enables us to operate in all kinds of sales channels, from small devices sold online to maximum-security equipment and large machinery developed for specific projects. And between these extremes, we can exploit the fluid boundaries between our product categories to always offer our customers the HSM product that best meets their needs.” Wochner adds: “One of the main challenges for the future is the increasing complexity of business decisions and processes. It’s not always easy to deal with these complexities in a company of our size.” An expanding medium-sized business with global operations, HSM now exports 72 percent of its products to international markets, which are very fast-paced and subject to very different laws and regulations. Given its successful growth, HSM has therefore teamed up with CHG-MERIDIAN to take a closer look at its internal structures and processes. technology and service management system. The system has been customized so that specially defined shopping carts containing the necessary IT assets are available for each HSM location – with uniform terms and conditions worldwide and the same high quality and service level. This is where economies of scale and far greater transparency really come to bear: “This has a direct monetary effect for us but also makes the administration much more straightforward,” says Thorsten Schäfer, IT manager at HSM. “Such structures are entirely normal in a large company but not so in a medium-sized business like HSM. CHG-MERIDIAN was the ideal partner for us because it doesn’t just cover the funding; it’s also a single source of support for the entire technology lifecycle. What’s more, it provides the international structures that are so important to us, i.e. global availability without international billing.” The Managed Print Services project is just the first step in further cooperation with CHG-MERIDIAN on the restructuring of IT and technology management at HSM. Other initiatives will have the same aim: reducing complexity and using the company’s resources even more efficiently so that they can be targeted in areas where they will harness potential for growth in relation to customers, markets, and products. The example of HSM impressively demonstrates how CHG-Meridian achieves maximum efficiency for financial and operational spending thanks to its in-depth understanding of capital expenditure at every stage of the technology lifecycle.       EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Company: Hermann Schwelling Maschinenbau GmbH + Co.

In Switzerland, CHG-MERIDIAN has realized an innovative outsourcing idea for British American Tobacco. In Switzerland, British American Tobacco, one of the largest tobacco companies in the world, regularly needs to supply 5,000 vending machines with tobacco products and other consumer goods. “Managing our base of vending machines was time-consuming. We had to spend administrative time on operational activities that are not part of our core business,” explains Zoltan Hutkai, Corporate Finance Manager at British American Tobacco Switzerland. Then there was the additional challenge of upgrading all 5,000 vending machines with new readers to cope with the latest Swiss banknotes. This required major capital investment. In close collaboration with Deutsche Post subsidiary DHL Switzerland, which handles the logistics and upgrading aspects, CHG-MERIDIAN developed a concept for the efficient management of the vending machines. Newly fitted sensors allow DHL drivers to supply the machines with tobacco products as required, i.e. just in time. As a result, the management at British American Tobacco enjoys increased profits and benefits from modernized machine technology – as well as satisfied customers. CHG-MERIDIAN also acquired all of the tobacco company’s vending machines in Switzerland and leased them back to British American Tobacco, thereby improving their budget position. The agreed monthly service and lease payments include all costs incurred (e.g. installation, storage and delivery, repairs, and upgrades). This has significantly reduced expense and risk for British American Tobacco, while at the same time the regular payments are making costs clearer and more predictable.    Zoltan Hutkai, Corporate Finance Manager atBritish American Tobacco Schweiz  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|REDUCING BRITISH AMERICAN TOBACCO’S LOGISTICAL AND FINANCIAL BURDEN h3|Choose your region A logistical challenge Logistics and financing – a solution based on a well-designed concept Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                 pa|Our society has been living beyond its means for decades. Whether the coronavirus pandemic will persuade us to use resources more responsibly and move away from the linear system depends to some extent on how cost-effective the alternatives are. Most recently, our ‘budget’ had already been used up by the middle of the year. In 2020, the date was calculated to be August 22, three weeks later than in 2019. The reason is that global CO2 emissions fell by year on year. This is mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the huge restrictions that have been introduced to contain it. Even though the environmental impact of the pandemic may only last for a , the forced economic deceleration it has brought about raises many questions for businesses. Companies are looking more closely at the necessity of air travel and face-to-face meetings, for example, and interrupted supply chains and production bottlenecks have intensified the debate about the future of our linear trading system. Anyone looking for sustainable alternatives will find there are proven solutions on the market already, such as those offered by CHG-MERIDIAN. The international technology management company has been following the principles of the circular economy for more than 40 years by focusing on reusing products and extending their life. “End-to-end lifecycle management has always been at the heart of our business model. We support our customers from the procurement of their equipment and its use all the way to its sustainable refurbishment and remarketing”, says Matthias Steybe, Group Sustainability Officer at CHG-MERIDIAN. The technology sector, in particular, is characterized by very short lifecycles, but even here sustainable ideas are feasible and financially attractive. “Our customers can not only save costs through intelligent IT procurement, but also act more resource-efficiently and sustainably.” The intelligent procurement, use, and remarketing of IT equipment allows companies to cut costs and be more resource-efficient and sustainable. This is a competitive factor that is growing in importance. Read more in the Whitepaper. CHG-MERIDIAN’s proprietary technology centers in are good examples of how to put professional lifecycle management into practice. Every year, almost 500,000 IT devices such as smartphones, laptops, and printers undergo cosmetic and technical refurbishment here, have sensitive data erased, and are prepared for a second product lifecycle. A further 200,000 or so devices are refurbished to the highest standards through our global network of certified partners. Overall, 95 percent of assets are refurbished. Any assets that can no longer be used are sustainably and professionally recycled, and the raw materials are returned to the material cycle. of all assets returned to CHG-MERIDIAN are given a second life refurbished and remarketed assets assets erased using a certified procedure In the sharing economy, it is no longer the ownership of objects that creates value, it is their use. That is why CHG-MERIDIAN has been offering for many years. Leasing helps to implement innovations faster and more efficiently, makes the digitalization of all areas of the economy more sustainable, and facilitates the introduction of new, resource-efficient means of using technology. “If equipment is used more than once, instead of being purchased each time and disposed of after use, the need for new equipment is reduced. This has considerable benefits for the environment, as huge quantities of raw materials are needed to produce a laptop or smartphone,” says Steybe. It remains to be seen just how much alternative business models like CHG-MERIDIAN’s can reduce the economy’s carbon footprint. Experts agree that without the COVID-19 pandemic, Earth Overshoot Day would have moved forward again this year. The current backward trend should not be regarded as an all-clear, but rather as an incentive to do more in the future to protect our finite resources and establish new forms of doing business. “Our customers can not only save costs through intelligent IT procurement, but also act more resource-efficiently and sustainably,” says Matthias Steybe, who as Group Sustainability Officer has been responsible for sustainability management at the CHG-MERIDIAN Group since July 2020.    Your personal contact  DATA ON END-OF-LIFE-SERVICES IN 2019:  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 Please contact us!

Hundreds of industrial trucks are in continuous operation in its paper and pulp production plants. CHG-MERIDIAN conducted a fleet and TCO analysis for Mondi so that it could procure the right industrial trucks. When it came to the procurement of industrial trucks, Mondi lacked a benchmark for the total costs of ownership. This made it hard for the company to work out which product was actually the most effective for their particular needs from an overall cost and efficiency perspective. The information that the manufacturers provide, for example on fuel consumption and the turning radius, isn’t enough to draw any valid conclusions that might justify one set of procurement costs over another. But how can the different investment costs and total cost of ownership be compared? CHG-MERIDIAN produced a fleet TCO analysis in which it used a productivity test to compare different makes of the same truck type. At the pilot site in Poland, the test trucks were equipped with sensors designed to track their performance and operating data for subsequent analysis. “The test drivers had to complete the kind of loading and unloading jobs that they would normally be expected to do for the company – as quickly as possible and at the same frequency. During the test drives, the team collected data on loading/unloading performance, productivity, and handling for subsequent evaluation and TCO analysis. This revealed differences between the investment costs for the different makes. Mondi received a detailed decision-making matrix that helped it to weigh up the acquisition costs in relation to, for example, the optimum useful life, the replacement cycles, and the finance model. Thanks to the new decision-making matrix, the management team at Mondi now knows what the price differences need to be for the purchasing department to be able to justify opting for a brand that is 20 percent more expensive because it can show that the investment will pay off in terms of total cost of ownership.

As one of Europe’s largest and best known IT resellers we can help you earn maximum revenue on your IT equipment by using our expertise and guidance. Our lifecycle model not only creates added value for you, but also makes a significant difference to the environment. With a circular approach to the procurement and disposal of equipment, we ensure that the products have a longer service life and can have a second life in other markets. Because our experience with reuse and resale, we know what it takes to create the best results for you and the environment. A circular economy proposes that rather than adopting the: make, use, dispose model of a linear economy we instead keep the resources in use for as long as possible, and use techniques including: repair, refurbishing and remanufacturing to extend or provide a second life to the resource, whereby the cycle is repeated and therefore completing the full circle. A circular economy relies on both long-lasting products and renewable energy resources and aims to gain the maximum value from products before they are launched into their second life. Having been active in the market for over 40 years, we like to think we are good at what we do in addition to learning a thing or two along the way. Over the years we have built up a global network of buyers and have refined our end of lease process to ensure efficiency and, most importantly, to ensure maximum benefit for our customers. With plenty of resource in our two technology centres we are able to use this global reach to achieve the maximum possible return for our customers – something which is fundamental when looking to gain a competitive advantage. We pride ourselves on the efficient nature of our remarketing process that we have developed over the years. Simply arrange a date that is convenient for you and we will facilitate the collection of your old assets and transport it safely to our service centre. We can offer this service in line with your rollout of the new equipment to ensure a smooth transition between rollout and rollback.

CHG-MERIDIAN helped the company to develop and implement customized manufacturing processes and optimize its IT infrastructure. SISAMEX is a leading global manufacturer of automotive components for commercial vehicles based in Escobedo, Nuevo León, Mexico. The company, which is jointly owned by Quimmco and Meritor Inc., makes axles, brakes, and related components for trucks and agricultural machinery. It currently employs around 2,000 people and counts John Deere, Magna, Freightliner, and Caterpillar among its customers. Innovations are a key element of SISAMEX’s success. For over 30 years, the company has specialized in identifying opportunities and developing ideas, and translating them into products, workflows, and marketable solutions. As part of its ongoing innovation program, the commercial vehicle supplier commissioned CHG-MERIDIAN to develop a custom solution for the integration of new technologies into its industrial production. The aim was to make efficiency gains in two important production steps: the smelting of materials and the subsequent manufacture of metal parts for the high-precision components sold to SISAMEX customers. CHG-MERIDIAN helped SISAMEX to integrate cutting-edge technology into its production lines and improve its IT infrastructure, IT administration, and IT management. The team at CHG-MERIDIAN managed all import processes, the administration of customs documents, and the delivery of the project. The team used the TESMA® platform to provide a clear timeline and input/output data, and made all of the information available in real time. CHG-MERIDIAN’s agile business model allowed SISAMEX to deal with a single source for the procurement, financing, and operation of the latest technologies in production and IT. All workflows in production and IT were optimized as part of this process. Better interaction between business units has already improved their performance and results, which has had a positive effect on overall operating profit. This holistic approach had a further, compelling advantage: Instead of dealing with a range of service providers, managers at SISAMEX had a single point of contact who took care of everything. The experts at CHG-MERIDIAN also provided support with importing the high-tech equipment, which involved a lot of red tape and complex logistics. “We are very happy to be working hand in hand with CHG-MERIDIAN,” said Pedro Jesús Vota, Treasury Director at SISAMEX. “This project has helped us to identify the specific requirements and demands that our company makes of its technical infrastructure.

The manufacturing industry faces many challenges, such as fluctuating capacity utilization, structural change, and the move toward Industry 4.0. A central feature of these changes is the desire for more flexibility, in terms of both the equipment – machinery, robots, conveyor belts, and even entire production lines – and the financing solution. The long-term reduction of TCO is also at the top of many companies’ lists. But how do these requirements fit together? And how can they be met? We talk to Florian Orth of CHG-MERIDIAN, one of the leading non-captive technology management companies in the industrial sector. Orth and his team support market leaders in the automotive and logistics sector around the world. The coronavirus pandemic has caused considerable upheaval within a very short space of time. Remote working, for example, has become the norm for many, which has made paper-based administrative processes more complicated and pushed them to their limits. Just think of a simple process such as signing a contract. Then there is capacity utilization, which has fluctuated significantly across sectors. It therefore comes as no surprise that for many companies, making sure they have sufficient liquidity is a top priority. And this is a challenge, especially as production facilities are often leased and fixed lease installments have to be paid. We are seeing demand for flexible financing options growing every day. Flexible finance strategies that can help companies adapt to the current situation are one solution. If we know the capacity utilization of a machine or production line, for example, we can reduce the lease installment and extend the term of the lease instead. In other words, we can work with our customers to modify the structure of the contract so that it better suits their needs. Another approach is pay-per-use, whereby billing is based on usage, for example the hours a machine is online. The customer only pays for the time that the machine is actually running, making fluctuating capacity utilization less of a problem. Or take investment in equipment, such as new production facilities. This often entails high capital expenditure, for example in new robots, cellular transport systems, or adaptable handling portals. Long advance financing phases are also an issue for tier 1 automotive suppliers, as a lot of time can pass between signing a contract and commencing production. With a pay-per-use solution, we take on this cost until production is up and running and revenue is coming in. Or to put it another way, ROI starts with the first component manufactured. Do you want to know where you could make savings in your fleet management? Do you want to optimize your international logistics processes? Are you looking for solutions that will allow you to manage your production more flexibly? Industrial Technology: A unique combination of technical expertise with financial engineering - watch now! Ultimately, it is about bringing processes into the digital age. The more extensively they are digitalized, the better. One example is the introduction of digital signatures, which make it possible to sign contracts from anywhere, whether that be at home or in the office. All legally binding, without pen or paper. Even greater potential for optimization and savings lies in the general streamlining of administrative processes. Take heterogeneous asset structures – managing a wide range of types, models, and manufacturers can quickly tie up a lot of resources. There is huge potential for optimization here, for example by standardizing contracts and reducing the number of contacts to one. We can achieve this on an international scale. This reduces administrative effort immensely and speeds up processes, while making our customers’ work easier – not just in the event of a crisis – and saving internal resources. The key here is full cost accounting that is as transparent as possible, based on financial expertise and many years’ experience in the sector. At CHG-MERIDIAN, we start by breaking down our clients’ core production processes and identifying costs and potential savings. This provides a fully transparent overview of the cost structure of their production facilities, including service costs, the proportion of costs accounted for by spare parts, and the overall return on investment. We then create a customized business concept that exactly meets our customer’s needs and is as cost-effective as possible. The goal is always to achieve greater transparency about the total costs, as this can then be translated into permanently reduced TCO. Potential cost savings of up to 15 percent are possible.     EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded h1|Increase flexibility, reduce overall costs h3|Choose your region Mr. Orth, you are working with your customers to manage the current challenges.

The latest digital workplace concepts can provide transparency. Only few budget holders will be able to answer that question. Of course, prices can be compared at the time of purchase and support and maintenance contracts can be agreed to cover part of the running costs. CFOs regularly rack their brains over these and similar questions as they make calculating the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a device more difficult: 1. Consider the entire lifecycle: Every asset runs through typical lifecycle phases, from procurement and rollout to actual use and disposal or remarketing. Only by taking into account and planning for the entire lifecycle can you make sustainable budget decisions. 2. Consider the entire workplace: Smartphone, tablet, laptop, PC – an employee’s digital workplace often comprises a range of devices with their own procurement, rollout, and maintenance processes. How much and for how long each one is being used is often unknown. A realistic analysis of the TCO of a digital workplace requires a holistic view of the employee’s IT equipment and its use. This is the only way to decide whether it is more cost effective to buy or to opt for a customized business concept. 3. Work with the right service provider: As a rule, manufacturers and service providers sell equipment and agree contracts that provide them with the best margins. What’s more, they often only take isolated aspects of the digital workplace into account, which raises the question whether their recommendations and offers are actually the best fit for your individual needs and whether the procurement and usage model will pay off. IT departments are often confronted with changing requirements and new devices at ever shorter intervals. This makes the management of the IT portfolio a more complex and time consuming task. The digital workplace offers substantially more freedom and fulfilment for employees: they are less restricted in terms of when and where they work and are no longer tied to permanently installed devices such as desktop workstations. Instead, they always have access to the latest technology, which is tailored to their individual needs. CHG-MERIDIAN shows you how this can work. Our central aim is that we reduce your workload and support you and your company at every stage of the technology lifecycle.

For example, your employees can work while travelling or waiting around, which frees up time for other activities. The digital workplace also helps to optimize business processes. All information and processes are provided in a central working environment. Approval processes or the placement of orders for consumables can be completed with just a few mouse clicks, relieving the burden on IT and procurement departments. More efficient processes and the optimal adjustment of the working environment can result in savings in the double-digit percentage range. All costs associated with procuring and operating IT equipment for a workplace can be calculated and predicted precisely. Your employees take an active role in selecting the IT equipment for their digital workplace. This involvement increases their satisfaction with their tools, which in turn results in better work. Simpler, more intuitive processes and associated time savings also contribute to a better user experience. By getting your employees involved, you also benefit from their technical skills and knowledge of digital topics. According to the 2018/2019 D21 Digital Index survey, almost half of the German population has this type of expertise. Skilled young workers, in particular, value lean and efficient IT processes and a maximum of freedom when it comes to selecting the tools they use for their work.

You need to ask yourself what your IT environment should look like in three years’ time. What equipment is needed? How often does it need to be replaced? Are employees allowed to order their equipment themselves? To what extent should employees be free to choose their equipment? These and similar matters should be considered in the strategic plan and discussed with the various stakeholders in the company. A clearly defined vision is not only more efficient, it is also an important factor when it comes to getting the workforce excited about digitalization. It helps employees to understand the direction the company is taking, why certain changes are necessary, and what the benefits are for them, in particular. 2 It can be difficult to reconcile the ideas and expectations of the CIO and CFO. The CIO will be keen to switch to the latest IT environment, review every process, and drive digitalization forward. The CFO will first and foremost look at the cost. Finance managers will also focus on return on investment: Will the restructuring increase output? How often will IT equipment need replacing to maximize efficiency? Your digital workplace strategy will need to be transparent and meet the expectations of the CIO and CFO if it is to be accepted within the company and become a long-term success. There are innovative, customized business concepts that allow you to spread payments for the technology and related services over the entire lifetime. This makes it easier to maintain an overview of and predict costs, and savings can be calculated with high accuracy. 3 Not all employees have the same requirements in a digital workplace. Those who mainly work in the office will be best served with a desktop PC, whereas field staff will need to be able to work remotely with a high level of reliability. For designers and developers, on the other hand, the equipment’s performance will be a key factor. That is why it is important to find out what your employees require and who the various stakeholders are. Getting your employees involved ensures that your digital workplace meets the requirements in the best possible way and maximizes efficiency gains. This will also increase acceptance and satisfaction among the workforce. 4 Instead of spending weeks devising plans to replace all PCs in one huge rollout, you should implement the digital workplace in stages and stay flexible. After all, requirements and employee roles can change. Workplace concepts with flexible, shorter terms will facilitate this strategy. Equipment is made available to employees when it is required, rather than according to fixed depreciation cycles. Working with test groups is another recommended approach when rolling out new IT equipment. They allow you to test the implemented changes and make adjustments before everyone is affected. By making your employees part of the project, you increase acceptance of the project and increase their digital skills. 5 Create a roadmap for rolling out the digital workplace by speaking to the various stakeholders in your organization. What is required? What does the introduction of the digital workplace mean in practice? Document which milestones are to be rolled out when and which project stages are still pending. It is important to actively communicate project successes and the resulting benefits within the company to ensure that employees remain enthusiastic about digitalization. Publicizing test phase results and individual employee experiences helps to increase motivation, while the collaborative effort ensures an optimal outcome. 6 E-commerce portals such as Amazon have revolutionized the shopping experience. Your employees are familiar with and value the processes used by the major online merchants and expect a similar level of convenience from the IT department. In reality, they are faced with complex approval processes and long waits for the equipment they ordered. This is where innovative procurement solutions that rely on self-service portals come into their own. Here, employees can choose the digital equipment most suitable to their role from a selection pre-defined by you as the IT decision-maker. As with online shopping, delivery is usually made within a few days. Simple processes – going far beyond procurement – and personalized user interfaces allow you to create an optimal user experience.

The mandatory introduction of electronic patient records was a huge challenge for a hospital with an already limited investment budget. Fortunately, CHG-MERIDIAN developed a future-proof solution for North Bay Hospital. Like many other hospitals in Canada, North Bay Hospital was faced with the challenge of upgrading its outdated equipment and its largely aging infrastructure on a tight budget. “Across Ontario, hospitals are under huge financial pressure,” says Paul Valenti, Manager of Purchasing and Contracts at North Bay. “We purchased new equipment when we moved into a new building in 2011, but due to the limited investment budget we were forced to keep it beyond its useful life.” Technology is evolving at a rapid place, particularly in the healthcare sector. Where the lifetime of technology could once reach up to twelve years, it is now only five years. North Bay Hospital’s budget came under increased pressure as the switch to electronic patient records approached. “Many Canadian hospitals were having budget issues when it came to implementing electronic patient records,” says Guy Poirier, Head of Canadian Healthcare at CHG-MERIDIAN. “The four large hospitals in the northern region, of which North Bay is one, had to cover the bulk of the project’s funding at a cost of $120 million. It is almost impossible to find an additional $30 million in regions with only a very small population.” In 2016, CHG-MERIDIAN embarked on an in-depth analysis of the medical and technical infrastructure at North Bay Hospital. Working closely with finance, operations, clinical teams, and medical staff, the company looked at the various equipment types in detail. “There was an active exchange of information about the estimated useful life of equipment, and about how maintenance costs for certain device categories, for example, will develop,” says Poirier. This in-depth dialog played a key role in identifying the areas where change was needed most. It became clear that there was a requirement for reliable asset management that considers the entire lifecycle from procurement to potential remarketing. “This is where we were able to bring all of our expertise to bear. We also increased the customer’s trust in us by not merely introducing our own TESMA technology management system but also testing the suitability of other asset management platforms on the market,” says Poirier. CHG-MERIDIAN was also able to apply its expertise in the implementation of tracking activities and the resulting process changes, and identified and recommended experts to assist with complex liability matters. Using priority lists, CHG-MERIDIAN then worked with the finance and procurement departments and the clinical committees to determine which equipment should be financed in which way. Dividing the assets into different categories made it clearer which ones should be purchased and which should be leased. Poirier and his colleagues also carried out a lease-versus-buy analysis to calculate the expected leasing costs. After nine months, they prepared the request for proposal (RFP) for financing all of the devices and asked bidders to categorize these by their expected lifecycles. Paul Valenti believes that the support from CHG-MERIDIAN has made North Bay Hospital much more flexible as well as providing greater transparency in asset procurement and management. When the healthcare technology comes to the end of its useful life, management now have the option to return it, upgrade it, or carry on using it. “CHG-MERIDIAN has given us the tools we need to calculate the costs at the end of the term. We can lease a piece of equipment for five years and decide at the end of the term whether to continue leasing it, to buy it, or to return it. This gives us far greater flexibility,” says Valenti. A further advantage he believes should not be underestimated is that all services and equipment are handled exclusively by the experts at CHG-MERIDIAN. “This has a positive impact on the price and avoids having to deal with ten different companies, invoice formats, and expiry dates. And we can build up a relationship,” he adds. The management of technology over the entire lifecycle not only has monetary benefits but also increases – and this is the main objective of North Bay Hospital’s management team – the quality of care provided. Endoscopes are a good example: “Because we are now leasing our endoscopic equipment, we can replace it all in one go after trialing a new model, rather than buying just a few new devices every year. We are upgrading all of our equipment, which improves our ability to diagnose cancer, for example,” Valenti says with a smile.

CHG-MERIDIAN provided all the necessary expertise and created a customized business concept. In the school’s large learning lab the word ‘quiet’ is splashed across one wall in ten languages, on the opposite wall a Chinese proverb is writ large: “When the wind of change blows, some build walls while others build windmills.” The municipal authority of Bad Rappenau built ‘windmills’ with support from CHG-MERIDIAN. The finance and technology management company won the contract in April 2014 for the project – put out to tender across Europe – of providing a state-of-the-art IT infrastructure, including administration systems, for the school. It is a showpiece project that points to the future, and it has been flexibly adapted to the and the required computing power. “This project is so exciting for us because we can provide a variety of services. These include advice on the sourcing of hardware, software distribution, rollout and installation of equipment, TÜV-certified data erasure with , IT support, financing, and support for the project partner throughout the project,” says Wolfgang Huber, Key Account Manager at CHG-MERIDIAN. “The project is very extensive and complex,” adds Michael Grubbe, Head of IT at the municipal authority of Bad Rappenau. Regarding the complexity he adds: “An all-day school such as Verbundschule Bad Rappenau has specific IT needs. The school is undergoing a permanent process of change.” After all, student numbers are no longer predictable because primary schools’ recommendations about the type of secondary school children should attend are now not binding. This means the municipal authority can no longer estimate how its IT needs will develop. “It was a big challenge for us to calculate the right amount of equipment,” Key Account Manager Wolfgang Huber explains. The flexible contract with CHG-MERIDIAN allows for adjustments to the number of assets to match requirements. Huber emphasizes: “The municipal authority can increase or decrease the number of assets at any time up to the end of the 60-month term. If the number of students falls, and we need to take back assets early, then we can remarket these elsewhere.” The municipal authority in Bad Rappenau values this highly. “The flexibility that the contract provides is very important to us. It is the icing on the cake,” says Grubbe of the modern IT solution. First of all, existing fat clients were replaced with quiet thin clients and all monitors were replaced with new energy-efficient TFTs to reduce noise in the teaching areas. New projectors and printers were also installed. As the single point of contact, CHG-MERIDIAN steered and managed all processes of the . It also acted as project manager to coordinate a project team consisting of a systems house and several service providers, such as software and phone system vendors. A further element of the project was the installation of the server room, including a management server, a storage unit, a server farm, and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). The server room also houses the school’s new phone system and the DSL line. The switch to a new phone system, bringing together the phone numbers of all schools at the site, was carried out as a subproject. As part of the project the switches and network cables in the other buildings of the main campus were renewed, so that all buildings have high-speed access to the central system. A small back-up system with a UPS was also set up. The entire infrastructure – server, phone system, back up, and UPS – can be scaled up or down at any time to match the number of students. “I had expected more problems. It was hassle-free, and every project step ran smoothly despite everything having to be carried out during the school holidays. The teamwork on the school’s project was very professional and customer-oriented. From a contractual point of view the project is highly complex, but we are very satisfied with the implementation and handling, which was in no small part down to CHG-MERIDIAN’s lack of bureaucracy,” said Grubbe. Yvonne Geier, deputy head at the school, is also satisfied: “Everything is very stable, the technology is very reliable. And that is of course very important to the running of the school. It’s also great that we can restrict access to the system to certain departments or individual students, as it allows us to have children of all levels and from all classes sitting, working, and learning side by side.” Huber adds: “We would like to use this model, which we were able to implement with the right service providers, in the future for other municipalities. Individual requirements can be adapted at any time, of course.” Many schools often find the inflexible and cost-intensive approaches to new IT solutions prohibitive. At Verbundschule Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN has managed to find the best custom solution and financing option – and its independence from banks, manufacturers, and service providers has been a key element in this. Thanks to the expertise gained from the successful implementation in Bad Rappenau, CHG-MERIDIAN now has the tools to establish state-of-the-art, IT-based learning environments that support media literacy in an appealing way at other schools. * Source: Arbeitsbericht des Büros für Technikfolgen-Abschätzung beim Deutschen Bundestag [Report of the Office of Technology Assessment at the German Bundestag], 2007. ** Source: Study by the Allensbach Institute, 2013.

CHG-MERIDIAN is a strong and committed partner of these charitable organizations. The information available on the internet is the key to education, communication, and a better future for school children in Kenya. Thousands of miles away, Barbara Toorens is director of external relations at the Belgian aid organization Close the Gap (CtG). “Access to computers and the internet can open up the world to these people,” she explains. Without CtG the school would probably still not have any high-grade computers. The term used for this invisible border between societies who have ready access to digital resources, and those who do not, is ‘digital divide’. CtG aims to overcome these borders sustainably with the help of technology donations from European companies to non-profit projects in developing countries. CHG-MERIDIAN supports this with , such as those for customers in Belgium and Luxembourg, where new communications technology purchases are combined with the donation of old IT equipment for re-use in Africa, Asia and South America. Deloitte Belgium decided to do this when it invested in 3,000 iPhones. “Social responsibility is a value that is deeply enshrined in our corporate culture,” says Guy Lucq, Chief Information Officer at Deloitte in Brussels. With the help of CHG-MERIDIAN, Deloitte bought a certificate for each new device to confirm that decommissioned in Burundi, a process handled by CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop. Guy Lucq continues: “By renewing our communications technology in this way, we are ensuring that more than 20,000 old cellphones enter the material cycle in Africa responsibly.” CHG-MERIDIAN made certain that the process was smooth, transparent, and fast. Stefan Ertel, Executive Vice President at CHG-MERIDIAN, says: “There is an increasing number of companies that want to actively engage as corporate citizens, but many of them lack the structures that would enable them to firmly integrate corporate social responsibility activities into their business models.” CHG-MERIDIAN filled this gap in 2013. Since then, customers obtaining new hardware through the Belgian subsidiary have been able to arrange for its reuse at the end of the period of use. Ertel adds: “What is unique is that we have successfully virtualized these processes – and we are the first technology management provider worldwide to do so.” This also applies to the procurement of regular IT equipment. For example, when obtaining finance for new laptops, customers can donate some or all of the used equipment to CtG on the basis of the equipment’s projected fair value. Or they can combine their investment with the purchase of recycling certificates. With every project it has run since 2003, CtG has demonstrated the huge potential of donations. By 2014 the aid organization had collected around a quarter of a million donated computers, supporting nearly 3,500 projects in over 50 countries. Environmentally friendly recycling of used equipment also requires clear structures, as the stripping of electronic waste, which can be hazardous to humans and the environment, is widespread in Africa and Asia. This is where CtG’s sister organization WorldLoop comes in. The certificates bought by donors ensure that recycling is carried out to the highest standards. Local start-ups and specialist waste management companies in Europe work hand in hand to make valuable materials in the equipment – which can amount to small fortunes – re-usable. Security is crucial when donating company IT equipment to aid organizations, as the protection of sensitive data must be guaranteed. CHG-MERIDIAN’s program offers certified data erasure to match customer needs at the end of the period of use. The erasure solutions are fully certified, including by the TÜV product standards regulator and DEKRA. Every year, hundreds of thousands of assets are prepared for re-use after the end of their leasing period, including around 100,000 erasures, at CHG-MERIDIAN’s Technology and Service Center in Germany. Deloitte plans to continue supporting aid projects through its IT donations, however, standard solutions are not being considered. From a business point of view, it is imperative to evaluate each case individually. “That’s why we need flexibility. And our long-standing business partner CHG-MERIDIAN offered us exactly this flexibility in this project,” says Lucq. CHG-MERIDIAN is a leader in the market thanks to this innovative business model. Following a successful pilot the corporate social responsibility service will be rolled out in other countries, and there is a lot of interest across Europe. “The potential for such processes is huge,” says Stefan Ertel. And this also applies to other capital assets that could be donated at the end of their period of use. European companies donate technology for a good cause: CHG-MERIDIAN offers its customers intelligent solutions to support their socially and ecologically sensible aid projects at Close the Gap and WorldLoop.      Deloitte’s CIO, Guy Lucq li|menu not loaded Digital divide is the term used to describe the gap between people with full access to the digital world and those who remain mainly cut off from it. It affects countries and entire regions, for example East Africa, but also parts of society in western industrialized countries. Close the Gap was founded in 2003 as a student project at the University of Brussels. The idea is to take donations of high-grade used computers from European companies and use them to support educational and social projects, particularly in East Africa. Promotes economic and social development, especially in rural areas, in developing and newly industrialized countries. Close the Gap supports aid projects in over 50 countries worldwide. WorldLoop was founded as a sister organization to Close the Gap in 2008. Its purpose is to promote the establishment of small companies in developing countries that specialize in the responsible recycling of old computers and communications technology. A further objective is to contain the widespread stripping of electronic waste, which is hazardous to human health and the environment. h1|PROVIDING NEW OPPORTUNITIES h2|More than just a website Recycling combined with a strong sense of responsibility Aid projects that promote independence in local markets Security, trust, and future success are closely connected CHG-Meridian Close the gap Facts on the digital divide, Close the Gap, and WorldLoop h3|Choose your region Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                  Image 1 / 4 Image 2 / 4 Image 3 / 4 Image 4 / 4    pa|CUSTOMIZED BUSINESS CONCEPT FOR INDUSTRIAL PLANTS Working to a tight schedule, Gestamp Umformtechnik GmbH has installed an ultra-modern plant in Bielefeld. CHG-MERIDIAN is supporting this capital expenditure project with a sophisticated lease model based on the ‘pay-on-production’ principle. Strong, robust, versatile: The Amarok pick-up from Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is a dependable workhorse for use on construction sites and in off-road applications. Obviously, this successful all-rounder from Volkswagen needs a solid base. Steel ladder chassis were originally imported to Hannover from VW’s core Amarok plant in Argentina. Due to the logistical expense, VW was looking for a partner in Germany. In 2013, Volkswagen chose Gestamp Umformtechnik to supply the chassis, requiring the latter to invest in a brand-new production facility that is to be used exclusively for this order and is equipped with welding and assembly robots. CHG-MERIDIAN develops for sophisticated industrial capital expenditure projects. Everything then had to move very fast in Bielefeld: “Chassis construction for the Amarok was a demanding and time-critical project,” explains Bernd Willenberg, member of the Management Board responsible for accounting and financial control at Gestamp Umformtechnik. Trained as an economist, he is visibly proud of the project and the achievements of the employees who spent a year preparing thoroughly for the successful production start-up with support from plant supplier Kuka and the technology and finance experts at CHG-MERIDIAN. Chassis consisting of almost 240 parts for the VW Amarok have been coming off the production line at the Gestamp Umformtechnik GmbH plant in Bielefeld since March 2014. Because the factory building already existed, Gestamp’s role was to plan the facility within the available floorspace. “We overcame this challenge to our utmost satisfaction in cooperation with Kuka,” says Jürgen Lohmann, head of process optimization at Gestamp Umformtechnik. CHG-MERIDIAN provided support at every stage of the planning, development, construction, and start-up of the production line. This is because CHG-MERIDIAN does not simply offer finance, it is a genuine project partner that provides customers with professional advice throughout the lifecycle of the industrial plant, from the initial idea for the project to dismantling the plant after use. Transparency, adaptation to the general parameters of the particular capital expenditure project, and complete control over costs are the advantages of CHG-MERIDIAN’s solutions. This form of intelligent support for capital expenditure projects is especially important in the automotive component industry because component suppliers are taking on responsibility for an ever larger proportion of the value creation process for complex automotive products. This perfectly reflects the corporate philosophy of CHG-MERIDIAN, which provides expert, all-round support throughout the technology lifecycle, thereby creating secure conditions for capital expenditure in an ever-changing environment. This was especially important to Gestamp Umformtechnik in the case of the Amarok order because the company had little more than a year from developing the initial idea to bringing the plant on stream. The ‘running change’ also had to go smoothly i.e. without interrupting Amarok production in Hannover. “If you get behind schedule in a project like this, you can rarely catch up again,” is how board member Bernd Willenberg describes the challenge faced by Gestamp. For the production of the ladder chassis for the VW Amarok at Gestamp Umformtechnik, CHG-MERIDIAN teamed up with KUKA Roboter GmbH to develop a comprehensive lease model for industrial robots and automation systems based on the pay-on-production principle. This enables Gestamp Umformtechnik to align its own capital expenditure with the planned income from the order. The lease payments are based on production output at Gestamp Umformtechnik – an approach that provides an all-round view of the ladder chassis project that goes beyond just the sales perspective. Ultimately, Gestamp Umformtechnik will increase its earnings potential from this project by assessing the entire plant in terms of alternative uses and opportunities for modernization after the first production cycle and then incorporating them into the lease structure. Following the pilot project at the Bielefeld site, CHG-MERIDIAN was also involved in production orders based on the pay-on-production principle at Gestamp Group factories in Spain and Hungary. CHG-MERIDIAN contributed the expertise for the entire technology lifecycle of a plant. Gestamp also benefited from a customized and secure financing model.      Interview  EFFICIENT TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT® © CHG-MERIDIAN 2021 li|menu not loaded Company: Gestamp Umformtechnik GmbH Sector: Automotive component supply Products: Chassis and body components Registered office: Ludwigsfelde, Brandenburg, Germany Head office: Bielefeld, Germany Management Board: Francisco José Riberas Mera, Dr. Theodor Plümpe, Dr. Ronald Märtins, Jesús Taboada Employees: approx. 1,900 (including approx. 70 apprentices) in Bielefeld, approx. 350 employees (including approx. 10 apprentices) in Ludwigsfelde Revenue: > €475 million Export rate: approx. 30 percent Production sites: Bielefeld and Ludwigsfelde h1|IDEAL PARAMETERS h2|Big-ticket order for automotive supplier From paper to production CHG-MERIDIAN - Interview Company facts h3|Choose your region Overnight success The best form for capital investment Contact Legal TOOLS Social Media sp|                                  Image 1 / 5 Image 2 / 5 Image 3 / 5 Image 4 / 5 Image 5 / 5 
