Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including ITAD service offerings that cover non-traditional IT assets, cybersecurity tips to help protect sensitive enterprise data, partnering with an ITAD provider for enterprise asset services, and using an ITAD company this Fall for back-to-school recycling. 

ITAD Service Offerings Cover Non-Traditional IT Assets 

Once upon a time, IT assets comprised large-screened desktops with CPUs, keyboards, printers, fax machines, and landlines. As technology has evolved, a new category was developed for mobile devices such as laptops, cellular phones, and Bluetooth devices. Now, mobile devices are the most commonly used type of IT assets, but because they are considered non-traditional, many companies are unsure how to dispose of them. ITAD facilities offer end-of-use IT asset disposition services to non-traditional IT hardware, including mobile devices and data centers. 

Cybersecurity Tips to Help Protect Sensitive Enterprise Data

Technology is the primary source of information storage, communication, and business, meaning significant amounts of data are stored digitally. Because of this, cybersecurity is becoming increasingly critical to protect enterprise and employee data, especially for remote workers. Many businesses have gone fully remote, which means business is conducted entirely digitally, and data is more susceptible to leaks. Data security should be a top priority for any enterprise, especially in this digital age, including those using personal devices at home to conduct business. Below are some tips for keeping your data safe in a remote environment. 

Partner with an ITAD Provider for Enterprise Asset Services 

IT asset disposition is more than just getting rid of retired IT assets. The asset disposition process covers a range of other services, such as data security, repair and remarketing, and recycling, all of which can significantly benefit an enterprise. ESG has become a popular reporting method for keeping track of environmental, social, and governance goals, and partnering with an ITAD provider can also help companies achieve each of these goals through enterprise asset services. 

Use an ITAD Company this Fall for Back-to-School Recycling 

As the summer ends, schools, including universities, are back in session,  and the most common supplies for university students are electronics. IT assets like laptops, tablets, smartphones, smartwatches, and printers are in high demand as new models are released, and each year, an increasing number of used IT assets are discarded. Many businesses retire older IT assets for new equipment to ensure all IT hardware is functioning properly, and universities are no different. However, the e-waste crisis continues to grow, and one of the leading contributors is an inadequate e-waste management infrastructure. However, partnering with an ITAD provider can help reduce the influx of e-waste with electronics recycling.
