Enhance Data Security with Responsible IT Asset Disposition
Data security remains a primary concern as technology evolves, especially in a digital business landscape. Protecting enterprise data is often a priority when IT assets are used but fail to be a concern when assets are retired. As a result, more data breaches occur due to irresponsible IT asset disposition. In 2023, 3,205 cases of data breaches were reported, affecting 353 million companies and individuals. Data security should be prioritized even after asset retirement and can be achieved by partnering with an ITAD provider for proper IT asset disposition.
Social ESG Benefits of ITAD with Mobility-Managed Services
The ITAD landscape has evolved to include several additional facets of the business, including ESG reporting. Separated into three categories, environmental, social, and governance, ESG represents a significant change in industry standards, and one way to achieve Social ESG criteria with ITAD is with mobility-managed services. Proper IT asset disposition is a necessity today, and ITAD providers like HOBI offer mobile asset management services such as repair and refurbishment, remarketing opportunities, and donations programs that maximize device value and can help enterprises achieve social ESG goals.
ITAD’s Enhanced Impact: Value-Added IT Asset Disposition
The ITAD industry has undergone many changes in recent years, adding new facets of the business, including remote management, ESG reporting, ERP integration, re-imaging and redeployment, license retirement, and more. Clients’ needs have evolved, and these new facets help traditional ITAD vendors adapt to a more sophisticated industry landscape. As an augmentation of core ITAD service offerings, these value-added IT asset disposition services mark a significant change in industry standards, in a term HOBI pioneered as vITAD.
