IT assets are the most utilized tools in any business and the most abundant. Annual upgrades often result in working IT equipment being retired prematurely and piled in storage closets. IT assets such as desktops, laptops, printers, and monitors can take up significant storage space and pose fire hazards due to the batteries they contain. Responsible IT asset disposition goes beyond recycling. ITAD providers offer IT asset management services that maximize the value of retired assets and protect the environment by remarketing used equipment.
Responsible Disposition Prevents Fire Risks & Data Breaches
Electronics often used in offices contain lithium-ion batteries, which are sensitive to heat and known to cause chemical fires. Assets left in storage for too long can overheat and cause battery fires, sparking a domino effect for surrounding battery-containing assets. Excess IT assets also pose data security risks, as many are unaware that data remains on devices until they are properly wiped, leaving data vulnerable until assets are disposed of properly. ITAD providers offer onsite data erasure services to ensure no data breaches occur after asset retirement.
IT Asset Management Services with ITAD
ITAD providers offer many end-of-use services, including IT asset management services that protect enterprise data and maximize asset value after retirement while mitigating environmental liabilities.
Data Security with Erasure – IT assets are just as vulnerable in storage as on the streets. In addition to data erasure services, ITAD providers take extra precautions to ensure the safety of clients’ assets with external protection like cameras and padlocked cages. ITAD providers offer data center services such as decommissioning, asset management and remarketing, and relocation. HOBI provides on-site services and customized data center solutions to meet clients’ needs.
Repair & Remarketing – Partnering with ITAD professionals like HOBI provides an environmentally sound disposal solution and opportunities to maximize the value of used assets. Services like repair, refurbishment, and device remarketing help prepare used assets for a second lifecycle. Many people are choosing to purchase used devices as prices of new devices continue to rise, and providing used devices to those in need helps reduce demand for new devices to be manufactured. ITAD providers like HOBI offer remarketing opportunities and donation programs for clients looking to maximize the value of their retired IT assets and ROI.
