1. Use technology to streamline the process. If you are already managing the performance of your IT assets, leverage your asset management program to aid your asset disposition process.
2. Make decisions for the final destination of your equipment prior to decommissioning. This will save time, money and avoid risk by eliminating numerous steps in an already cumbersome process.
3. Wipe your data while it is still online. Don’t leave precious data on your systems while it sits in storage. Frequently data breaches occur within the walls of the organization.
4. Know the value of your IT equipment ahead of time so you are equipped to make a reuse, recycle or remarket decision intelligently.
5. Stay in control of your IT assets even after they leave your facility by insisting on total visibility of price and final destination from your vendor.

Start the New Year Fresh; Clean out Your IT Closets!
TammyIs your IT closet full? Has your company been filling a room full of hardware assets with no plan in place for disposal?

One thing is for sure – the longer the systems sit in a closet, a warehouse or a spare office, the more value they are losing every day. In an advanced technological world, IT assets do become obsolete at an increased rate. Not to mention, security breaches often occur while the hardware is still on the premises of the company. Companies mistakenly assume their IT equipment has no value, so they are in no rush to dispose of it.

In today’s tight economy, IT managers who uncover new found cash are bringing real value to their company.
