Stop production of equipment, end of manufacturer&#8217;s warranty, update of the operating system, changes of use\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>Beyond the cost, an <a href=\"https:\/\/codeo.com\/en\/expand-upgrade-your-estate\/\">IT equipment renewal <\/a>involves many technical and operational issues to consider:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Uniformity of the fleet in the context of a partial renewal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Training employees in the use of new equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change of the skin if the form-factor differs from one generation to another<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div>\n<p>However, they do not represent a fatality. Using reconditioned equipment extends the life of your fleet and therefore delays its renewal. It is also a good way to enroll the company in a sustainable digital approach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Refurbished equipment, what are we talking about?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p><br><strong>Refurbished computer equipment<\/strong> is not to be confused with second-hand. The reconditioned embodies an IT asset used, even very little, then tested. These are often computer parks taken back to be resold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>To be qualified as \u201c<strong>reconditioned<\/strong>\u201d, computer equipment must have:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>received a complete &#8220;software reset&#8221;, i.e. the total erasure of the configurations and applications installed on the equipment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>benefited from approved and certified data erasure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>consumables replaced with new (strap, stylus, touch screen, keyboard, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>replacement of damaged components to ensure quality professional use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>benefited from a gradation \/ notation according to its aesthetic condition<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div>\n<p>Refurbished computer equipment may be recent but they are generally obsolete, that is to say out of production by the manufacturer. Refurbishment thus allows them to <strong>take advantage of a second, third or even fourth life to continue to meet the needs<\/strong> of companies wishing to <strong>extend the life of their computer equipment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Save money<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p><br>Refurbished equipment is generally more expensive than second-hand, but also more qualitative, with longer lifespans. Prices compared to new are between 15 to 25% <strong>cheaper for refurbished<\/strong>. Expect a 30 to 40% reduction in new prices for a refurbishment. If the service is limited to a conclusive ignition test, the prices can even <strong>represent 50% savings<\/strong> compared to the purchase of new computer equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>Reuse can thus be part of any policy aimed at reducing expenses related to the renewal of computer equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>If the economic benefit is often put forward, it is not the only advantage that pushes companies to buy their barcode readers, cash register equipment, payment terminals, computers, refurbished smartphones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>One of the major issues to which refurbished solutions provides a solution is indeed the homogeneity of the fleet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure the homogeneity of its IT equipment<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p><br><strong>The uniformity of the IT park<\/strong> represents a major challenge. Employees who all work from the same devices also handle the same functionalities and the same processes, use the same accessories and the same software versions. By keeping a homogeneous fleet for as long as possible, the entire computer system of the company is facilitated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>This standardization also makes it possible to standardize the data drawn from the <strong>use of the computer equipment<\/strong>. An essential homogeneity to facilitate the collection and processing of information for <strong>strategic analyzes<\/strong> by the general management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stay in control of your IT projects<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p><br><strong>Using reconditioned equipment<\/strong> is a major advantage. Let&#8217;s say that a company finds itself faced with a breakdown of its usual manufacturer of <strong>computers<\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/codeo.com\/en\/product\/catalogue\/barcode-scanners\/\">barcode readers<\/a><\/strong> or <a href=\"https:\/\/codeo.com\/en\/product\/catalogue\/electronic-payment-devices\/\"><strong>payment terminals<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>The use of reconditioned equipment allows it to<strong> temporize its renewal of IT equipment<\/strong>, to save time by maintaining a homogeneous equipment for longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>Far from competing with new equipment, refurbished equipment offers IT and mobile fleet managers flexibility in managing their fleet. They can thus ensure a smoother transition between 2 generations of equipment while avoiding the inconvenience associated with production disruptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aligning with regulations for responsible digital<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p><br>Legislation governing computer parks is becoming more rigid and multiplying. Increasingly strict, they are aimed in particular at <strong>protecting the environment and combating electronic waste<\/strong>. Most recent regulations are also moving in the direction of promoting <strong>circular economies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>Objective: to limit the waste of resources and the environmental impact due to the production of new products:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The AGEC law, \u201canti-waste for a circular economy\u201d, has been in force since January 1, 2022. It obliges companies to recycle and reuse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The law for digital sobriety (REEN law) plans to reduce the environmental impact of IT in France<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The anti-waste law implies that manufacturers of electrical appliances must communicate the repairability index of their equipment, since January 1, 2021<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The November 2020 European Commission resolution on more responsible digital consumption calls for combating planned obsolescence and promoting reuse and reuse<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limit its ecological impact and reduce its carbon footprint<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p><br>Opting for <strong>refurbished computer equipment <\/strong>means considerably reducing your carbon impact. A new office computing device can emit between 30 and 400 kilograms of CO2 equivalent (kg CO2 eq.). A substantial footprint, mainly due to its production. A reconditioned computer machine represents on average only 10% of CO2 due to its refurbishment, 18% linked to its use, 3% to its transport and 1% to its final recycling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>Reuse also makes it possible to <strong>preserve abiotic raw materials<\/strong> from being overused in the production of new devices. It is also the best way to s<strong>afeguard biodiversity and limit our water consumption<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>Codeo has already avoided the emission of 3,100 tonnes of CO2 in 2019, <strong>thanks to its promotion of refurbished computer equipment<\/strong>. Our group is committed to a circular, greener and more sustainable economy. Refurbished therefore allows us to support companies in their objectives in terms of <strong>Corporate Social Responsibility <\/strong>(CSR), low-carbon strategy and <strong>Environmental, Social and Governance<\/strong> (ESG) investments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>At Codeo, the reuse of computer equipment thus embodies the foundation of our CSR policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reliable reconditioning<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p><br>Refurbished equipment is subject to meticulous repairs. They are also tested to ensure their performance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div>\n<p>In detail, most of the second-life assets managed by Codeo follow the same restoration process, known as \u201ctest and clean\u201d:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>diagnostic tests and external condition grade assessment;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>possible repairs and replacement of defective parts;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cleaning and replacement of screens, shells, keyboards, membranes, etc. ;<br>last test for control before sale;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sale under warranty up to 3 years.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div>\n<p>Depending on the case, Codeo carries out either a repair or a reconditioning.
