HOBI Weekly Blog Recap (9/18-9/21)
After the world was plunged into a digital age, many required more devices to conduct business or continue school from home, which created a digital obstacle. It’s no secret that technology prices have increased beyond reasonable expectations, and many people still have difficulty finding working electronics at affordable prices. Value-added IT asset disposition, or vITAD, services help bridge the gap between those with access to technology and those without while significantly reducing the cost.
Technology is more expensive than it’s ever been, with some devices amounting to the same as a mortgage. Remote working has caused a dramatic increase in demand for IT hardware, but not everyone is willing to pay high dollar prices. However, electronics don’t last forever, and whether it’s school or work, eventually, they’ll have to be replaced with updated models. Upgrades can become costly quickly, but what if there was an alternative to purchasing new devices?
Electronics donation programs are becoming more popular for companies seeking to get rid of retired IT assets. Not every retired device has reached the end of its useful life, and many companies are partnering with IT asset disposition facilities like HOBI to provide used electronics to those in need while also maximizing the value of their retired IT assets.
HOBI is an R2v3, RIOS, and ISO-14001 certified IT asset management and disposition facility with over 30 years of experience in the industry. We offer repair and refurbishment services and remarketing and asset redeployment opportunities. HOBI helps bridge the digital divide by partnering with companies to provide refurbished electronics to students. We also offer employee buyback options for clients, which allows companies to provide a benefit to their employees and provides employees an opportunity to purchase used IT equipment.
Donations programs not only help bridge the digital divide but also protect the environment by helping to reduce the demand for new electronics. By helping communities receive used electronics and contributing to the reduction of device manufacturing, companies can also achieve environmental and social ESG goals when they partner with HOBI to utilize our vITAD services.
