Below is a recap of this week’s blog posts including exploring the IT asset disposition process step by step, how ITAD providers offer data center services for retired gear, and ITAM safety tips for potential self-repair disasters.
Exploring the IT Asset Disposition Process Step by Step
IT asset disposition is a growing necessity as technology continues to evolve significantly. Electronics are a prevalent part of society, and many companies are still uncertain how to dispose of their retired IT assets. Improper disposal can result in environmental pollution and become detrimental to human health, but partnering with an ITAD provider mitigates environmental liabilities and ensures IT assets are disposed of responsibly. Despite the growing ITAD landscape, many still lack the knowledge of proper IT asset disposition or what it entails.
ITAD Providers Offer Data Center Services for Retired Gear
Data centers are a central focus of any organization, as they hold significant amounts of enterprise and employee data. Much time and effort goes into maintaining data centers and ensuring data is protected at all times, and decommissioning or even relocation can become a headache. Disassembly alone can be time-consuming, and getting data centers from one place to another with no data leaks can also be costly. Enterprises can save time and budget funds by partnering with an ITAD provider for IT asset management for end-of-life IT assets, which also offers data center solutions.
ITAM: Safety Tips for Potential Self-Repair Disasters
Technology is evolving at a rapid pace, and once upon a time, consumers raced to keep up with the latest models. However, the increased cost of electronics has deterred many from purchasing new devices. Down eight percent compared to the first quarter of 2023, the U.S. smartphone market registered another year-over-year shipment decline in the first calendar quarter, marking its sixth quarterly decline. Price hikes have also increased the price of repairs, leading many consumers to attempt self-repairs at home.
