As businesses replace outdated
IT equipment that no longer meets their demanding needs, they face a
challenge. You might call it the "end-of-hardware dilemma." Deciding
what to do with older or surplus equipment taken out of service may lack the
appeal of acquiring and deploying new hardware, but the disposition process
presents an important opportunity as well as risk. By thinking ahead, you can minimize and
eliminate the significant risks associated with disposition of IT
hardware. Data security is of primary importance, and environmental
concerns also are critically important. Electronic equipment often contains
heavy metals and other hazardous substances, and must be refurbished or
recycled properly. Careless handling can endanger people and the
environment.

• Tracking
We report back to you specific information about the data cleansing of each
unit. Asset tags and serial numbers are collected and removed, and the system
is readied for data overwriting. We can customize any job. Please contact us with any specific questions
you may have.
• Verification
A technician verifies that the software has successfully overwritten the data
before sending the system down the line. Its progress is monitored and recorded, and an
audit technician selectively performs additional testing. Finally, the successfully overwritten system
is ready to be resold or recycled for parts.
• Reporting
We provide a detailed status report of the data cleansing and outcome of each
retired system. We also can provide a Confirmation of Disposal to verify that
your data was removed or destroyed and that all recycling met or exceeded all
local regulatory guidelines. In addition, for all equipment disposals, we
provide a settlement report which lists the resell value of each piece of
resold hardware and documents any other disposed equipment.
