HOBI Weekly Blog Recap (4/8-4/11)

Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts, including how responsible IT asset disposition helps prevent data theft, reducing e-waste with an ITAD provider, benefits of asset redeployment in the ITAD industry, and partnering with a vITAD provider for data center solutions. 

Responsible IT Asset Disposition Helps Prevent Data Theft 

The business world has undergone many changes during the last decade, one of the most prominent being remote working. Many companies now operate with fully remote staff, meaning daily communication occurs digitally, and data security is more important than ever. Exponential amounts of enterprise and employee data are stored on enterprise IT equipment such as computers, laptops, tablets, phones, printers, scanners, and, most importantly, data center equipment. Data security should be a top priority for any enterprise, especially in this digital age, and responsible IT asset disposition will help prevent data theft even after asset retirement. 

Environmental Goals: Reduce E-Waste with an ITAD Provider 

Setting environmental goals is growing in popularity in the business world as more companies implement ESG reporting and strive to meet environmental goals by reducing their carbon footprint. As technology evolves, the need for environmental awareness becomes more critical, especially in the waste industry. IT asset disposition facilities like HOBI are crucial in global e-waste reduction, and partnering with an ITAD vendor helps prevent e-waste from entering the waste stream through electronic recycling. 

Benefits of Asset Redeployment in the ITAD Industry 

IT asset disposition is essential to maintaining a smooth, efficient operating system.  abundance of IT assets creates space and storage issues, increased turnaround times, and slower processing rates. For this reason and many more, the redeployment of IT assets not only maximizes the value of old IT assets but also provides a range of other enterprise benefits. 

Partner with a vITAD Provider for Data Center Solutions

As a change in industry standards, value-added IT asset disposition services encompass several facets of the business. vITAD, a term pioneered by HOBI to describe this change, is an expansion of traditional ITAD service offerings and now includes services like remote managing and ESG reporting. One service revolves around non-traditional assets such as data centers, and partnering with a vITAD provider ensures all of your data center needs are taken care of by a single vendor.
