It’s officially Fall, which means tech companies all over the world are announcing the newest product models. This also means many businesses are upgrading their IT equipment in favor of these newer models, and some may not have an ITAD plan in place. With the amount of electronic waste that is generated every year, proper IT asset disposition is crucial to keeping the environment clean and safe.
In today’s digital world, most business is conducted electronically. If not disposed of, IT assets can begin to pile up over time and take up valuable storage space. ITAD providers ensure safe, eco-friendly IT asset disposition via electronic recycling, and take the problem off of enterprise shoulders. It can be overwhelming to figure out how to dispose of electronic assets, but it doesn’t have to be. ITAD vendors like HOBI help clients bypass the headache of asset disposition and ensure that IT assets are properly disposed of in a timely manner.
The first step is finding an ITAD partner who can provide the solutions needed.
Data security should be a top priority for any business, especially in the corporate world. Private company data remains on IT assets long after retirement, and it’s important to find an ITAD provider who understands the importance of keeping data safe. HOBI offers data erasure and security services to add an extra layer of security and peace of mind for clients, and stores all assets in padlocked cages monitored 24/7 by cameras.
Another facet to keep in mind is reverse logistics. How IT assets are transported and how quickly an ITAD provider can scale to meet client needs is important to prevent any backups. HOBI provides world-class reverse logistics management throughout each of our service offerings to ensure reliable, secure and efficient asset transportation, and our secure chain of custody provides clients full disclosure of assets’ location and condition throughout each step of the process.
Something most businesses do not consider when getting rid of old IT equipment is device value maximization. Some devices still have some use left even after retirement, and finding an ITAD provider who focuses on value added services could be extremely beneficial to your enterprise. HOBI focuses on maximizing the availability of mobile assets both during their useful life and during disposition. Our Dallas and Phoenix facilities offer repair, refurbishment and remarketing opportunities for all mobile devices and tablets
Last, when working with an ITAD provider, environmental compliance is a must. HOBI’s R2, RIOS and ISO-14001 certifications ensure all equipment is processed under full legislation compliance. Along with our own yearly audits for recertification, HOBI only partners with R2-certified downstream vendors who are thoroughly audited each year for compliance standards.
