Technology is many enterprises’ primary communication method, so updating IT equipment is critical for business. This can become expensive to maintain over time. ITAD enterprises like HOBI ITAD play a critical role in extending the life cycle of retired IT assets through services such as data erasure, reverse logistics, and repair and refurbishment.
When properly taken care of, IT assets can last a long time. The problem is that the older models will eventually no longer update as newer models are released. Updating IT equipment keeps devices functioning properly and is essential to maintaining smooth business transactions. Using the latest technological models ensures IT assets run smoothly with minimal issues. Unfortunately, this often results in annual IT updates, which can become costly and lead to piles of outdated equipment that still work but are unwanted. Rather than wasting money by throwing away retired IT assets, consider partnering with an ITAD provider for environmentally friendly e-waste management and disposition and value maximization for IT assets.
IT asset disposition enterprises like HOBI provide end-of-life care for retired IT assets, including data security and erasure, reverse logistics, and mobile lifecycle management for mobile assets that still have some use left. Data erasure ensures that no data is left on a device during disposition, especially if it is still in an acceptable working condition. Reverse logistics solutions ensure that IT assets are in capable hands when transported from one place to another, even for disposition. Mobile lifecycle management services, including repair and refurbishment, help extend the lifespan of assets through reuse. Services like donation programs maximize asset value by donating used IT assets to those without access.
Responsible disposition with an ITAD provider also helps reduce e-waste via electronics recycling. E-waste makes up a large portion of the world’s hazardous waste, and proper IT asset disposition prevents toxic waste from being sent to landfills, which helps protect the environment from potential water and air pollution and potential health issues for surrounding residents.
HOBI International, Inc. is an R2v3, RIOS, and ISO 14001 certified IT asset management and disposition enterprise with more than 30 years of experience in the waste industry. HOBI’s internally developed data erasure tool, HOBI Shield, ensures all data is wiped from assets before the equipment is reused or recycled. HOBI offers customizable onsite reverse logistics solutions for clients, whether they are working in-office or remotely.
Device reuse is key to maximizing device value while also reducing the need for new devices to be manufactured. HOBI offers mobile lifecycle management services at our Dallas, Phoenix, and Illinois locations, as well as repair, refurbishment, remarketing opportunities, and donation programs to help maximize asset value.
