Why Dicker Data as your Blancco Distributor?
Dicker Data has partnered with Blancco to provide New Zealand organisations with secure, compliant, and automated solutions that accelerate the transition to the circular economy.
Within the technology industry, there is a growing market for data erasure solutions. An increased awareness of the use of data sanitisation software instead of the physical destruction of assets has resulted in data erasure becoming a preferred alternative.
Regulation is increasingly being implemented to motivate companies to operate more sustainably and produce less waste. There’s also greater focus on data minimisation for data privacy and protection, accelerating the need for secure, compliant data erasure in both live environments and “end-of-first-life” devices. Discover how Blancco solutions enable you to achieve this.

Laptop & Desktop Erasure for Enterprise
For data protection and regulatory compliance, enterprise-scale organisations need complete, efficient data sanitisation of decommissioned IT assets—including laptops and desktops (both Mac and PC)—before redeployment, tech refresh, or resale/recycling. Blancco’s software-based data erasures ensure a sustainable approach to asset sanitisation, and come with a digitally signed, audit-ready report to prove compliance with industry and regulatory requirements, also reinforcing a secure and seamless chain of custody.
Data Centre Refresh & Migrations
Whether you are planning an asset deployment, technical refresh, or a migration to the cloud, it is vital to properly incorporate data erasure into your management process and keep control over your sensitive data assets until your servers or data centres have been decommissioned.Cloud Migrations
Enterprises considering the transition to a hybrid or fully cloud-based working environment must take care to track the process: planning the move, reducing the data spread and establishing a chain of custody when eradicating redundant, obsolete, or trivial (ROT) data before the changeover.
Storage & Loose Drive Erasure
Organisations must have confidence in their ability to manage loose drive arrays and other large-scale storage systems, especially when erasure must be conducted securely, permanently, and at a high volume over the entire array, and to comply with a data retention policy.
Enterprise Mobile Management
Powerful device diagnostics are critical to minimising disruption and keeping your mobile-equipped workforce productive. And, when devices must be serviced or are at end-of-life, automation, diagnostics, accurate valuations, and certified data sanitisation become essential capabilities to have in-house.
Erasure-as-a-Service (EaaS) to Increase MSP Revenue Streams
Endpoint computing devices can vary among employees, locations, use, and departments, resulting in disparate processes for erasing the data on these machines once they reach end-of-life. Having a variety of data centre hardware poses similar issues.
Blancco helps you standardise the data sanitisation process across your client’s infrastructure to increase efficiency, mitigate risk, meet compliance requirements, and reduce TCO when it comes time to reallocate, resell, or recycle.
