Electronic waste disposition is becoming increasingly critical as the world becomes more digital. E-waste makes up 70 percent of the world’s toxic waste and continues to evolve into a global crisis. Responsible e-waste disposal is a key combatant to global e-waste reduction. ITAD providers offer value-added services such as ERP integration, reimaging and redeployment, and remote management that further improve IT asset disposition.
Improve Communication with ERP Integration
ERP systems are an enterprise’s organizational method used for many things, including supply chain management, order management, procurement, and analytics. ERP integration connects a company’s ERP system with other on-premise and cloud applications a business uses, enabling the ERP system and the other apps to stay in sync. This helps employees collaborate and communicate more effectively in a world dominated by digital communication and can also improve client portal communication.
Re-Imaging & Redeployment
Asset redeployment maximizes the value of used assets and keeps them out of the waste stream by keeping them in circulation. Reusing devices reduces the need for new resources for new device manufacturing and saves budget funds by utilizing assets already in storage.
Re-imaging is installing a new operating system or applications on a device, including wiping the hard drive entirely and installing a fresh operating system, and often occurs before asset redeployment.
Support for Remote Workers
Many companies have gone fully remote, making asset disposition challenging, but ITAD providers offer remote management services for clients with a remote workforce to ensure they can continue receiving IT asset management and disposition services. HOBI specifically provides support for remote workers via our remote box program, which offers strategies for the safe and quick collection, evaluation, and redeployment of equipment on behalf of our clients.
