In a context of maximum challenges for European companies, Grupo Econocom has presented its strategy to consolidate the financial solutions vertical, dedicated to the management of technological and strategic capital, and to support companies in the comprehensive optimization of the life cycle of their assets, from their acquisition to their recovery at the end of their useful life. These financial solutions allow us to address current market challenges in a structured way.
The Group’s motivation is clear: today, European companies continue to invest more than 1.2 trillion euros per year in technology in aggregate. Much of this budget is tied up on balance sheets, while they face increasingly higher capital costs, increasingly shorter innovation cycles and increasingly demanding regulatory requirements. In this scenario, financial solutions become a key tool to free up resources and improve efficiency.
Given this situation, Ángel Benguigui, CEO of Grupo Econocom, has pointed out: «The management of technological capital has entered a new era. Organizations capable of aligning their investment cycles with the reality of their use will gain agility, resilience and capacity for innovation. This is precisely the vision that the Econocom Group promotes at European level through its financial solutions.»
When technological capital management becomes a strategic imperative
The IT distribution market in Europe currently reaches 67 billion euros annually, driven by increasingly rapid equipment renewal cycles. Technology leasing represents approximately 7% of this expense, according to the consulting firm IDC, which represents a European market of 7,000 million euros. In turn, cybersecurity is driving the services market, with double-digit growth in infrastructure and workplace solutions. In this context, financial solutions take on an increasingly relevant role in sustaining growth.
Pioneer in leasing of technological and strategic assets since its creation, the Econocom Group has always considered the management of technological capital as a key performance lever for European companies; a conviction reinforced in light of the economic and regulatory trends of recent years. In this context, Econocom accompanies CFOs and CIOs in the transformation of their technological investments into more flexible, sustainable and optimized use models, relying on financial solutions adapted to each organization.
Specifically, this approach makes it possible to preserve treasury, improve the visibility of financial assets and finance innovation more efficiently. Furthermore, from an operational point of view, it simplifies the management of technological assets, improves budget visibility and aligns investment strategies on an international scale. All this is possible thanks to the integration of advanced financial solutions. Finally, and from an environmental and regulatory perspective, it also integrates ESG requirements from the beginning and contributes to digital decarbonization objectives.
As Almudena Ceño, General Director of financial solutions at Grupo Econocom Spain, points out: “Thanks to Econocom’s As-a-Service model, our clients can integrate technology, financing and ESG objectives in a single provider, relying on innovative financial solutions.”
Mastering the life cycle
Econocom provides a global vision of the life cycle of technological assets, from their acquisition to their recovery at the end of their useful life, which constitutes a critical differentiating factor both economically and strategically, especially when supported by integrated financial solutions.
Econocom’s model is based on exhaustive control of the entire life cycle of technological and strategic assets, especially in their final phase. By recovering value from equipment at the end of its cycle, Econocom allows companies to secure a residual value that significantly improves the profitability of their investments, reduces the total cost of ownership and reinforces the relevance of leasing models, all supported by efficient financial solutions.
This approach simultaneously acts as a financial, operational and environmental lever. Firstly, it makes it possible to prolong the useful life of equipment and control accelerated obsolescence due to use and, as a consequence, contributes significantly to the decarbonization and ESG objectives of corporations. Thanks to the financial solutions strategy and its reconditioning and recycling services, no less than 504,000 digital devices were reconditioned or recycled in the Group in 2025, more than 10% of them in Spain.
A European vertical designed for international organizations
The management of technological assets is complex, especially for companies with a presence in several countries: multiple interlocutors, heterogeneous financing conditions and difficulties in consolidating information. With more than 50 years of experience, the Econocom Group responds to this challenge through a unified governance model in its financial solutions vertical, capable of coordinating experience between countries and harmonizing investment strategies on a continental scale.

In this way, the client obtains greater clarity, a single dialogue and guarantees regulatory compliance in all the markets in which it operates. Currently, the company has evolved its organization in four areas of specialization: Workplace, Infrastructure, Audiovisual Solutions and financial solutions.
Carlos Pérez-Herce, CEO of Grupo Econocom Spain, concludes: «In an environment where the cost of capital remains high and regulatory demands increase, optimizing the financial structure of technological assets is no longer optional: it is a competitive imperative. Econocom’s financial solutions area provides CFOs with the tools and experience necessary to turn the management of their assets into a sustainable strategic advantage, supported by solid financial solutions.
