Since the world entered a digital age, electronics have been in high demand, and a global pandemic only added to the increasing need for technology. However, as the need for technology grows, so do prices. Keeping electronics updated can become costly, especially if users replace devices every year or two. Value-added IT asset disposition (vITAD) services like employee buyback programs and donations programs can help give devices a second life by providing used electronics to those in need.
Experiencing a pandemic plunged the business world into a remote method of working, which caused many people to update their electronics, and many others left to use outdated office equipment at home. Many students were left without access to electronics and the inability to purchase new devices, which created a need for a cost-effective alternative.
Donation programs help bridge this digital divide by providing refurbished electronics to those without access. This helps businesses continue to thrive and students to graduate and extends the life of retired electronics. End of use doesn’t have to mean end of life, and IT asset disposition enterprises like HOBI focus on maximizing economic return via value-added ITAD services.
Employee buyback options for clients allow companies to provide a benefit to their employees and provide employees an opportunity to purchase used IT equipment. This helps eliminate the financial burden of purchasing new devices and provides clients with enterprise benefits.
