What Is ITAD (IT Asset Disposition) and Why Is It Important?
IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) is the business built around disposing of obsolete or unwanted equipment in a safe and ecologically-responsible manner.
For years, customers throughout the greater Dallas/Forth Worth metroplex have depended on DTX to dispose of the their IT equipment, ensure the related data is secure, recycle the equipment, and manage their IT asset disposition needs. We specialize in the process of streamlining disposition of IT assets, while minimizing costs and maximizing recouping of losses. Businesses can have a heavy replacement cycle of IT equipment. Enterprises with worn out old equipment are faced regularly with decisions of whether to refurbish or resell, recycle or dispose of business equipment.
ITAD exists in response to a number of considerations in replacing business equipment:
Data security means storage devices must be securely wiped. Proper disposal of ecologically-sensitive materials must be done properly or businesses may face fines.
Charitable donations and giving away equipment is more socially responsible than paying environmental fees for unnecessary disposal. Information about how ecologically-sensitive components should be disposed of is not common knowledge. Businesses stand to recoup losses in environmental fees and offset costs of purchasing new equipment through judicious recycling or reselling. For example, gold can be recycled from motherboards; equipment can be sold on auction websites or to employees.
With over 2.5 billion gigabytes of data being generated daily and with hefty new fines introduced as part of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), securely sanitizing assets and data that’s no longer needed is becoming increasingly important for businesses.
IT Asset Disposal (ITAD) is the process by which businesses securely dispose of unwanted IT equipment, like laptops, desktop computers, and mobile phones while maintaining accountability. Businesses need to be sure that their ITAD processes will not only result in the safe disposal of unwanted technology, but also any personal data that might be found on these devices. Failure to do this could lead to data-breaches, so utilizing the most effective and efficient methods to securely and permanently remove sensitive data is key to earn and keep client trust!
