What is ITAD (IT Asset Disposition)?
What is ITAD, exactly? ITAD, also known as IT Asset Disposition, is a secure and efficient way to retire unused IT assets to gain the maximum return in the data center. At some point in your company’s IT lifecycle, you will need to retire unused assets. Whether that is from refreshing an entire environment, moving/combining data centers, or consolidating your IT assets – it is an inevitable step. With the rapid growth of IoT and connected smart devices, users and vendors are forced to rethink traditional ITAD processes and cybersecurity protocols. Many IT leaders currently struggle with data security and proper environmental recycling.
If you partner with a certified electronics recycler and IT asset disposition service provider, you guarantee that your retired IT equipment doesn’t become the weak link in your cybersecurity defenses.
So how do you manage your company’s IT assets?
At the beginning of an ITAD project, a comprehensive audit typically identifies the assets designated for disposition and facilitates proper asset management. With our team of manufacturer specific product experts, you will receive fair-market appraisals on all decommissioned components to help your team assess the most comprehensive options for maximizing value.
