As the year comes to a close and we eagerly flee the office for a long awaited break, the last thing on your mind are IT assets, but what if we told you this was an excellent time to find an ITAD provider? Instead of putting off the inevitable, tackle the issue ahead of time and ensure that all of your IT assets are in good hands for the new year. Step one, know what you want, or rather, what you should be offered. ITAD providers offer a range of services, and finding an all-inclusive ITAD provider who prioritizes client satisfaction is key in optimal IT asset management and disposition.
There are many things to consider when choosing an ITAD partner, and many facets of the process. For example, data security is a major concern when retiring old IT assets, and finding an ITAD provider who goes above and beyond to ensure no data breaches occur is critical. Another thing often overlooked is reverse logistics. Do they have a transportation plan set for your IT assets? If so, how transparent is the process? Environmental services are often overlooked, but due to potential dangers resulting from excessive e-waste, finding an ITAD provider who prioritizes legislative compliance is an important step in creating a sustainable environment.
HOBI International Inc. is a vertically integrated, closed-loop processing facility that focuses on maximizing economic return and minimizing potential environmental liability. Our services include:
- Data security and erasure – Data security is arguably the most important aspect of the ITAD process, and HOBI uses an internally developed tool, the HOBI Shield®, that completely wipes all data from devices before repair or recycling. Any devices in which that data cannot be completely removed are shredded.
- Mobility managed services – HOBIprovides Mobility Lifecycle Management services for all models of cell phones and tablets, which includes test and repair, and refurbishment options that provide a tremendous economic benefit to our clients as an alternative to purchasing new devices.
- Data center services – Data centers are one of the most valuable facets of enterprise IT operations. Not only does each data center contain extensive amounts of sensitive information, but they also contain incredibly expensive technology. HOBI offers comprehensive data center solutions that minimize downtime and maximize return on assets.
- Enterprise asset services – HOBI offers full-scale, environmentally-conscious technology management and disposal.
- Environmental services – HOBI prioritizes the best choice of action, not only for our clients, but for the environment as well. Our R2, RIOS and ISO-14001 certifications, ensure that all equipment is processed under full legislation compliance.
