This month is IATAM awareness month in honor of the annual event that brings industry professionals together to connect and discuss changes in the ITAD landscape, as well as the importance of IT asset management.
The rapid evolution of technology creates an e-waste crisis that continues to be a growing issue. This month is the perfect time to consider developing a disposition plan for retired IT assets, and it begins with proper IT asset management.
When it comes to IT equipment, asset management can be just as important as asset disposition. IT asset management covers how your IT assets are managed throughout disposition, and a strong management system lays the foundation for a reliable disposition process.
There are many facets to ITAM, including data security and reverse logistics. Many companies are unaware that data is vulnerable until it is properly sanitized, even after device retirement.
Until all data is wiped from the device, private enterprise, and employee data can be accessed if IT assets are not managed properly.
IT asset management also includes reverse logistics. When IT assets are transported from point A to point B, it is important to partner with an ITAD provider who will prioritize the safety of client equipment.
