Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including leveraging mobility managed services with an ITAD provider, value-added ITAD services that benefit your business, robust data security for retired assets with IT disposition, and navigating the e-waste landscape with an ITAD partner.
Leverage Mobility Managed Services with an ITAD Provider
Mobile devices are the most commonly used form of electronics. Their convenience makes them the primary method of communication for many companies, but they are also the most easily discarded. A small, compact device such as a laptop, smartphone, smartwatch, or tablet is just as easy to toss in the trash as they are to carry around, which means they often end up in landfills with municipal waste. Environmental awareness has grown significantly within the last decade, and many companies are aware of the dangers of throwing away IT assets. However, many still need to figure out what to do with them, which leads to an abundance of assets stored in closets, piled on shelves, or discarded in drawers. Utilizing mobility-managed services with an ITAD provider eliminates potential risks and ensures mobile devices are disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner.
Value-Added ITAD Services That Benefit Your Business
Many changes have occurred in IT asset disposition, transforming the industry into a landscape of broader services. These changes include new facets of traditional ITAD services that adjust to clients’ evolving needs, such as support for remote workers, ESG reporting, reverse logistics, reimaging and asset redeployment, and employee buyback and donation programs. These value-added ITAD services benefit enterprises that partner with vITAD providers like HOBI.
Robust Data Security for Retired Assets with IT Disposition
Data security is becoming increasingly critical in a digital age where every piece of information is stored on electronic devices. From smartphones to vehicles and even smart appliances, exponential amounts of personal data are being stored on IT equipment, and the only way to protect data is proper data sanitization with responsible IT asset disposition.
Navigate the E-Waste Landscape with an ITAD Partner
E-waste has become the world’s most rapidly growing waste issue, with about 50 million tons generated annually. The technological boom created an influx of electronics sales. Each year, new models are released, and older models are thrown out, increasing the amount of e-waste the world generates. In addition to an ever-growing e-waste crisis, there is limited knowledge on responsibly disposing of IT equipment. As a result, it is often sent to third-world countries for “recycling” and ends up in landfills or incineration facilities. Partnering with an ITAD provider like HOBI helps avoid the hassle of getting rid of retired IT assets. ITAD professionals collect retired IT hardware like computers, desktops, laptops, phones, and tablets and provide many end-of-use services that protect clients’ data and the environment.
