A professional ITAD program delivers data security, regulatory compliance, environmental responsibility, and sometimes asset value recovery, all in one service.
A professional IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) program delivers benefits that extend well beyond simply getting old equipment off your hands. The four primary benefits are data security, regulatory compliance, environmental responsibility, and potential asset value recovery, each with meaningful implications for your business.
Data security is the foundation: ask how each decommissioned device is handled and request serialized records of secure data destruction. HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, and state data protection rules may impose different requirements, so review the records your organization needs. For environmental reporting, ask an ITAD provider how its downstream recycler manages hazardous materials and documents material recovery.
Asset value recovery is an often-overlooked ITAD benefit. Working computers, servers, and networking equipment that have been properly wiped can be sold into the secondary market, generating revenue that offsets the cost of the ITAD program. Ask providers how they evaluate incoming equipment for remarketing potential and document any resale value. Call Chicago Lamp Recycling at 866-770-2650 to discuss how an ITAD program can benefit your business.
