Business Need
- Efficient Data Erasure for MacBooks: PC Exchange required a Macbook data wiping solution for wiping newer and older Mac machines with T2 and M1 chips.They preferred to a central repository in the cloud for reports and certificates.
- Multi-Device Wiping Regardless of Manufacturer: PC Exchange dealt with devices from various manufacturer so they wanted a solution that could erase multiple units at the same time, irrespective of the make and model.
