Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including Electrical safety measures with proper IT asset management, the global impact of logistics obstacles in the ITAD industry, donating classroom electronics with proper It asset management, and advancing diversity goals with HOBI’s vITAD solutions.
Electrical Safety Measures with Proper IT Asset Management
A cornerstone of a successful business is the ability to acquire and maintain enterprise, employee, and client data; data loss can significantly impact business growth and performance. One of the leading causes of data loss is a power outage or a power surge, and 94 percent of companies that experience severe data loss never recover. This month is Electrical Safety Month, and HOBI has gathered some tips for protecting important data with proper IT asset management.
Global Impact of Logistics Obstacles in the ITAD Industry
Reverse logistics is a crucial step to asset recovery in ITAD, but several obstacles in the industry affect the economy and the global logistics supply chain as well. Device reuse and asset redeployment are key factors in logistics operations, and recent shifts in the industry, such as Basel Convention changes, will significantly impact asset recovery and e-scrap shipments when the changes go into effect in 2025.
Donate Classroom Electronics with Proper IT Asset Management
As the school year winds down, many IT assets, such as computers, tablets, and projectors, may need replacing, and the most environmentally friendly route is recycling with an IT asset disposition provider. Partnering with an ITAD vendor provides many opportunities for end-of-use IT assets, including remarketing and donations programs. Electronics recycling enables users to dispose of unwanted or retired IT assets without harming the environment and potentially increase asset value through device reuse with repair and refurbishment services.
Advance Diversity Goals with HOBI’s vITAD Solutions
As part of a changing industry landscape, new facets of IT asset disposition have emerged to adjust to clients’ evolving needs, a concept HOBI pioneered as vITAD. Value-added IT asset disposition services augment traditional core ITAD service offerings and include additional services such as remote management, ESG reporting, ERP integration, re-imaging and redeployment, and diversity. Diversity falls under the ESG umbrella as part of an enterprise’s social initiatives, and one way to achieve diversity is by partnering with a WBE-certified vITAD provider.
