According to the latest study by Business Research Insights, The size of the global IT expenses of SMEs is 243,$ 32 billion and should reach 345,$ 77 billion by 2032. If these figures reveal an increasingly strong dependence of companies vis-à-vis IT equipment, Several issues must be taken into consideration, such as failures linked to intensive use of the devices or the cost of their replacement. Already popular with the general public, The reconditioned is also established as a nine substitute for companies wishing to maintain their computer fleet, both by economic necessity and for the sake of homogeneity. Indeed, The purchase of a new device rarely presents an identical configuration to the rest of the park. Reconditioned players are able to upgrade a company's equipment by replacing its processors, by increasing his RAM. For slower or dysfunctional equipment, It is possible to change a motherboard, a graphics card or a processor to revitalize it and repair the failing devices (camera, touchpad, etc.).
A regulatory obligation
"We have been supporting companies for eighteen years in the reconditioning of IT equipment, And there is a real need to rebooster their devices. With the decree of implementing the Agec law of 2020, Public administrations are forced to integrate 20 % of materials reconditioned in their purchases, which allows them to reduce budgets, but also to adopt a responsible approach. We also note that private sector companies (SME, large companies) have started this conversion, above all for economic reasons. But in both cases, Companies prefer to keep existing devices while restoring a second life. For many actors in the reconditioned, This is a major issue that allows companies and institutions to actively fight against the aging of their computer fleet ", explains Laurent Berthuel, CEO of Printerre.
