JOENSUU, Finland, February 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

End-to-end automation, with detailed reporting, of data erasure and diagnostic processes efficiently captures residual value in used smartphones and tablets

Around 1.3 billion smartphones were shipped globally in 2014^[¹^], and many purchasers participated in popular trade-in and buyback programs with their old mobile phones. As mobile network operators (MNOs) and their recycling partners seek to extract value from used mobile devices, they need automated, secure and objective technology to quickly assess and process them. Blancco, the global leader in data erasure and computer reuse solutions, is revolutionizing used smartphone and tablet processing with its Blancco 5 Mobile Diagnostics and Blancco 5 Mobile data erasure software.
