A clear path from
retirement to recovery.
IT asset disposition (ITAD) brings data protection, equipment handling, and final disposition into one project plan. Start with your inventory, your policies, and the outcomes you need.
Technology recovery
Scope equipment retirement, inventory reconciliation, and collection logistics around your operational needs.
Explore asset recoveryValue recovery
Evaluate reusable equipment for resale potential, with clear expectations for condition, costs, and proceeds.
Explore remarketingResponsible disposition
Consider reuse first where appropriate, then define a recycling path for equipment at the end of its useful life.
Explore sustainabilityService scope, availability, processing arrangements, and documentation are confirmed in the written project proposal.
DATA SECURITY
The equipment can leave.
The responsibility stays.
Data-bearing devices need a plan before they move. We start the conversation with your security requirements, approval process, and expectations for evidence.
Plan your data requirementsDefine the custody trail
Identify devices, handoff points, authorized handlers, and the records needed to reconcile your assets.
Choose the appropriate method
Specify sanitization or physical destruction based on media type, sensitivity, and your organization’s policies.
Agree on the evidence
Confirm verification, exception handling, and any certificates or disposition reports required before work begins.
TECHNOLOGY RECOVERY & REMARKETING
Retired from your fleet.
Ready for what’s next.
Some equipment may still have a useful second life. Age, condition, specifications, data requirements, and market demand help determine whether reuse or remarketing makes sense.
We help frame the evaluation so recovery opportunities and processing costs can be considered together. Resale value is assessed case by case and is never guaranteed.
Start with the assets you have.
- End-user devicesLaptops, desktops & workstations
- Enterprise infrastructureServers, storage & networking equipment
- Workplace technologyDisplays, peripherals & related electronics
Equipment acceptance and special handling requirements are confirmed during scoping.
SUSTAINABILITY
More useful life.
Less unnecessary waste.
A responsible retirement plan looks beyond the pickup.
Prioritize reuse where security and equipment condition allow. For remaining material, define the recycling route, downstream responsibilities, and reporting expectations in advance.
Reuse thoughtfully
Balance the opportunity for a second life with your data and operational requirements.
Document the outcome
Agree on the disposition records needed for your internal reporting.
INDIAN COUNTRY / TRIBAL SERVICES
