Atlas Copco

Atlas Copco is a Swedish industrial company that was founded in 1873. It manufactures industrial tools and equipment. Globally Atlas Copco employs 34,000 people and generates a turnover in excess of €8 billion.

For several years Atlas Copco embraced the idea of operational leasing for their IT estate. However, the needs of an international group resulted in a search for a more flexible partner who could simplify and lighten the administrative burden on the customer. The previous process involved the creation of a new contract for each order that was processed – even for a single PC. This resulted in the customer having to deal with 2/3 contracts per month, which inevitably led to administrative and operational inefficiencies.

The management was faced with a growing need for efficiency and high-performance technology in order to achieve business objectives. CHG-MERIDIAN simplified the administrative process by taking away the need for multiple contracts per month and replacing them with 2 annual contracts of varying durations. Furthermore, CHG-MERIDIAN’s flexibility with regards to providing billing by cost centre. In addition to an attractive total cost of ownership (TCO) made their proposition a compelling one for the customer.
