IT asset disposition is more than just getting rid of retired IT assets. The asset disposition process covers a range of other services, such as data security, repair and remarketing, and recycling, all of which can significantly benefit an enterprise. ESG has become a popular reporting method for keeping track of environmental, social, and governance goals, and partnering with an ITAD provider can also help companies achieve each of these goals through enterprise asset services.
Top-Tier Data Security with Data Erasure
Data security should be at the forefront of any business strategy, and ITAD providers offer a level of data protection that safeguards against data theft even after disposition. Data stays on IT assets until they are properly sanitized, leaving them vulnerable to data breaches until an ITAD professional responsibly disposes of them. HOBI’s internally developed data erasure tool, HOBI Shield, is just one of three data security steps we take to prevent data leaks. HOBI Shield completely wipes data from a device, and any hard drives that cannot be entirely erased are destroyed via shredding technology. This service is provided to all IT equipment, including data centers.
Value Maximization with Mobility Managed Services
The volume of discarded electronic material has nearly doubled since 2010, rising to 62 percent in 2022, making electronic waste one of the fastest-growing waste streams in the world. The convenience of mobile devices makes them the most widely used form of electronics, but they are also the most easily discarded. The problem is that many devices are discarded while they still have use left. ITAD providers offer services that maximize the value of retired IT assets via device reuse. Remarketing used IT assets extends the lifecycle of retired devices and can help companies achieve social ESG goals by bridging the digital divide. HOBI offers mobility-managed services at our Dallas, Phoenix, and Batavia locations, including repair and refurbishment services, and remarketing and asset redeployment opportunities.
Environmental Awareness with E-Recycling
Few businesses have disposition plans for retired IT assets, which can lead to poor e-waste management. Electronics recycling is the safest, most environmentally friendly manner of disposal for these hazardous materials, and ITAD facilities like HOBI prioritize environmental safety at every step of the disposition process.
HOBI also practices legislative compliance at every stage. In addition to our R2v3, RIOS, and ISO 14001 certifications, we are a woman-owned WBE-certified ITAD enterprise with more than 30 years of experience in the industry. HOBI also provides value-added services that benefit clients as the industry expands.
