IT asset disposition is often put off due to the time and money it takes to research and acquire vendors. Responsible IT asset disposition includes data destruction, logistics for equipment pickup and transportation, and a certified electronics recycler. Many companies want to resell their retired IT hardware, which also requires time and budget for repair and refurbishment services, as well as guaranteed data erasure. Finding separate vendors is time-consuming and costly, but IT asset disposition ( ITAD) providers offer a range of end-of-use solutions for retired IT assets, all under one roof.
ITAD Providers Cover all Disposition Needs
Data Security – ITAD providers offer data security services, including onsite data erasure and secure storage and packaging. Data security is a primary focus point for ITAD enterprises, and HOBI’s internally developed data erasure tool, HOBI Shield, is just one of three data security steps we take to prevent data leaks. HOBI Shield completely wipes data from a device, and any hard drives that cannot be entirely erased are destroyed via shredding technology.
Repair, Refurbishment, & Remarketing – The rapid evolution of technology results in significant quantities of IT equipment being discarded annually, and many companies choose to remarket used IT assets. ITAD providers offer value-added services such as repair and refurbishment services and remarketing opportunities to maximize the value of retired assets, including data centers. HOBI also offers donation programs that help bridge the digital divide and boost client social ESG goals.
Data Center Solutions – Data centers are the primary source for data storage, but are not often considered as IT assets because of their size. ITAD providers alleviate the burden of decommissioning with comprehensive data center solutions, including data erasure, decommissioning, relocation, and reassembly.
Reverse Logistics – Logistics can become costly, but as a one-stop shop for all disposition needs, ITAD providers offer customized reverse logistics solutions. Transporting IT assets can result in asset damage, theft, or even battery fires if not handled properly, and HOBI’s reverse logistics solutions and our onsite data erasure services ensure clients that their retired IT assets are in capable hands and their data is safe throughout the disposition process. Utilizing an ITAD logistics team also reduces carbon emissions by keeping all disposition services under one roof.
Materials Recovery & Recycling – As the only environmentally sound method of e-waste disposal, recycling with an ITAD facility also includes materials recovery.
