Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts, including repair leaders teaming up to advocate for device repair access, celebrating Earth Day 2025 with ITAD, protecting IT assets from electrical damage with ITAM, and data center services to improve the decommissioning process.
Repair Leaders Team Up to Advocate for Device Repair Access
The concept of device repair has grown tremendously as mobile electronics have increased in popularity. Rising technology prices have led many consumers to keep devices longer through device repair. Third-party repair shops are often preferred over OEMs, who have become notorious for costly repairs. Still, restricted repair access prevents many repair shops from performing certain repairs, and two industry leaders in device repair are partnering to advocate for improved repair access.
Our Power, Our Planet: Celebrate Earth Day 2025 with ITAD
Today is Earth Day, the time of year to celebrate keeping the planet clean and healthy. This year’s theme is Our Power, Our Planet, calling for everyone to unite around renewable energy in efforts to triple clean electricity by 2030. IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers focus on environmentally responsible electronic waste disposal solutions, while also taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint, like using energy-efficient lightbulbs. Partnering with an ITAD provider ensures companies are responsibly disposing of retired IT assets and helps reduce their carbon footprint by partnering with environmentally conscious vendors.
ITAM: Protect IT Assets from Electrical Damage
Storms become more frequent during seasonal changes, and knowing how to protect IT assets during severe weather is critical. In a primarily digital era, electrical damage can result in data loss and equipment damage that can be costly to repair or replace. Proper IT asset management (ITAM) will help prevent asset damage during storms and save budget funds.
Data Center Services to Improve the Decommissioning Process
Data centers are not often thought of as IT assets because of their size. As non-traditional assets, data centers are an integral part of any organization. Almost all data is now stored digitally, making data centers targets for data theft, and decommissioning can be a tedious process. IT asset disposition (ITAD) providers offer a range of data center services from data security to logistics for relocation that improve and simplify the decommissioning process.
