The foundation of smooth-running business operations hinges on a reliable IT infrastructure. The business world relies heavily upon technology for communication and collaboration, and without a reliable IT framework, businesses can quickly unravel. Asset management is an integral part of a strong IT infrastructure, and an ITAD partner provides a range of end-of-use services, including asset management and environmentally sound IT asset disposition that improve risk management and optimize storage space.
Asset Management with an ITAD Provider
ITAD providers offer more than just disposition. Responsible asset disposal includes ensuring that assets get from one place to another with no incidents, no data leaks occur, and that they are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. This involves tracking down a trustworthy erasure team and coordinating logistics, which can be time-consuming and expensive. ITAD enterprises provide IT asset management in every step of the process, including:
- Data Security & Erasure
- Reverse Logistics
- Asset Repair & Remarketing
- Recycling
Data Destruction – Data security doesn’t end when assets are retired. Data erasure prevents breaches after asset retirement by completely wiping all data from the hard drive. Data destruction helps avoid legal issues and improves risk management.
Redeployment – Some companies donate or remarket their retired equipment, and ITAD partners provide repair and remarketing services, acting as a representative for clients looking to maximize value in used assets. Donating and remarketing retired IT assets can significantly improve storage space and reduce the risk of data leaks and battery fires.
Reverse Logistics – Many do not associate logistics with data security, but IT assets change hands several times during disposition before arriving at their destination. Partnering with an ITAD provider for customized reverse logistics services eliminates the need for multiple vendors and reinforces data security by keeping assets within the same chain of custody.
Recycling – Recycling is the only environmentally sound method of IT asset disposition, and partnering with an ITAD provider mitigates environmental pollution by recycling retired IT assets rather than throwing them out with municipal waste or burning them.
