Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with an ITAD Provider
IT hardware is a crucial part of any business, especially in this digital age. In this technology-driven era, properly maintaining IT assets prolongs device lifespan and provides communication in the workplace and remotely. Part of maintaining IT assets is equipment management.
Managing IT assets includes more than just keeping track of hardware. ITAD providers must also consider data security, reverse logistics, and compliance when managing IT assets . Unfortunately, many companies are unaware that data remains on IT hardware until it is properly sanitized. End-of-life facilities like HOBI are responsible for keeping IT assets and clients’ data safe throughout the disposition process.
HOBI utilizes padlocked cages and cameras inside the warehouse while assets are being stored. HOB also provides fully traceable data destruction that prioritizes our client’s data security. We offer three stages of data security, including data erasure via an internally-developed data erasure tool, the HOBI Shield®.
Another facet of equipment management in the ITAD industry is ensuring proper storage. IT hardware is extremely sensitive to extreme temperatures and must be stored accordingly. Stacking computers directly on top of one another can cause overheating and result in battery swelling, leading to chemical combustion. In addition, most electronics today are made with Lithium Ion batteries that can cause large warehouse fires if precautions are not taken.
Asset transportation is an important factor to consider, because the ITAD provider is responsible for getting valuable equipment from point A to point B with minimal issues. This includes proper packaging to ensure no assets are damaged.
HOBI provides world-class reverse logistics management throughout each of our service offerings to ensure reliable, secure and efficient asset transportation. Our skilled team of engineers is capable of managing deinstallations, point-to-point transfers, and white glove projects anywhere in the world. Our secure chain of custody provides clients full disclosure of assets’ location and condition throughout each step of the process.
HOBI is an R2v3, RIOS, and ISO-14001 certified IT asset management and disposition enterprise with more than 30 years of industry experience. For more information about our ITAD services, call 817-814-262, or contact HOBI at sales@hobi.com.
