Trying to keep all IT systems up and running, maintaining security, complying with regulations, and staying within a budget for IT equipment is something that occupies IT managers heavily in their work routine.
To all of the above comes the management of IT retired equipment (ITAD). IT Asset Disposal is more than just keeping e-waste out of a landfill. ITAD is a way of managing discarded IT equipment with appropriate disposal methods and its process is vital to managing risks from IT products.
Why unused electronic equipment disposal service is important.
Compliance with the law
There are many regulations regarding the management of retired IT equipment. Instead of trying to manage the process yourself and worrying about whether you are consistent and compliant with each regulation, put your IT equipment in the hands of a trusted professional. By delegating this process, you can focus on the subject of your work, confident that the prescribed rules will be followed and that you will stay away from fines!
Data Security
Data breaches are very common and can mean significant problems for a business. You probably have security measures in place for your active equipment. Don't leave the retired ones vulnerable to the same threats you seek to avoid in the active. IT equipment may no longer be useful to your business, but its memory never fades.
Printers, copiers, fax machines, data scanners, and hard drives that have not been properly erased or destroyed can hold sensitive data such as social security numbers, addresses, financial account numbers, and confidential business information. This is a real risk, not only to your business but also to your customers, employees, shareholders, and your reputation in general.
A reliable equipment disposal professional knows how to efficiently dispose of your valuable data so it doesn't end up in the wrong hands. It will also give you a certificate of destruction or a certificate of data deletion so you can be sure that the process has been followed correctly.
You enhance sustainability
Instead of risking a data breach by tossing your retired equipment into a landfill, a retired equipment professional could put your equipment to good use by refurbishing it, reselling it and giving it new life, or safely forwarding it in the proper recycling processes while minimizing their environmental effects.
How can your business benefit from the right IT retired equipment management service?
You save valuable space in your facilities!
Many businesses keep decommissioned IT equipment on their premises. This equipment only ends up burdening the business as it does not contribute productively to its operations, creates a spatial planning problem, and has maintenance costs. By outsourcing your IT equipment disposal to a specialist company, you will get rid of your unnecessary equipment at no cost, save costs and save valuable space on your premises.
Get benefits from rewarding recycling
Your equipment may have reached the end of its useful life for your business operations, but it is not necessarily ready for Scrap! For companies that undertake disposal procedures, like Alfanet, your equipment is still useful and they reward you for every part they can reuse.
