IT hardware and computer software have a natural life-cycle, which means they can be made redundant or not fit for purpose within a short amount of time. Rather than struggling on regardless, it makes sense for businesses to dispose of their unwanted equipment and destroy the data held within it, replacing it with something more up to date.
What are the benefits of asset management?
The benefits to this are many, as production levels can decrease if your equipment is no longer able to cope with the demands. Slow systems are a nightmare for anyone who uses IT, reducing what your employees are reasonably able to achieve in a day, thereby affecting your overall business.
Relying on a company to recycle your IT equipment, means it isn’t left cluttering up your office. It can often be utilised and broken down into parts to create new systems, without the need for manufacturers to then build further expensive and environmentally detrimental new hardware.
How can we help?
Not only will we remove your unwanted equipment, but we will also get rid of any data that is held on it. This is not just wiped, but hard drives are completely shredded, so there is no way that anyone else is going to be able to get their hands on your confidential information. We are fully GDPR compliant and take great care when removing your data.
If you are disposing of old mobile phones or tablets, we will also shred all sim cards and reset the items to factory default, so that no data is left on them.
We will enable a smooth transition between your old and new equipment, ensuring there is no downtime, so your business can carry on as normal. We can often come to collect items within 24 hours, but will always work with you to arrange a date to suit your requirements. This efficiency will help you to cut down on your overall costs.
Sometimes we can even repair and refurbish items that are not working properly and return them back to you, if required.
Is it right for me?
Asset management allows you to make decisions about your business based on measurable objectives and meaningful financial forecasts. Having a plan in place which enables you to determine when you are likely to need to upgrade your systems, and therefore budgeting accordingly, will help your business run more smoothly.
You can also work around the potential disruption – albeit one that can be minimised if you use our services, knowing you have a reliable company managing the process.
