4 Tips to Maximize Your IT Asset Recovery

No one wants to leave cash on the table. And same is the case for IT assets. As most companies focus on the role that hardware plays in digital transformation, the need for IT asset recovery is needed. 


Here are the tips to maximize IT asset recovery and receive the highest possible value for your assets. 



Maintain the equipment in good condition


IT assets have value and ensure your users treat them with that in mind and don’t unnecessarily neglect them when they are no longer needed. Do not remove the components from your assets unless it’s necessary. If the equipment get maintained in good shape, the IT asset recovery partner will have to perform less work to achieve a higher value.


Keep a close eye on the market and don’t delay for long


The market for used IT assets can be fast-paced. Large amounts of the same equipment can come into the market or demand for used equipment can change based on the new technology. It can send a lot of the same equipment onto the resale market. Allowing your old equipment to sit in closed rooms for too long will result in missed opportunities.


Do data sanitization 


If your company’s data destruction policy is physically destroying the piece of used IT equipment, consider the increased value of equipment on the resale market. ITAD partners provide NSIT SP 800-88-compliant ensures that the data gets removed without destroying the equipment. 


Don’t hold on to decommissioned assets


Once you have removed assets from service, get them to your ITAD partner as quickly as possible. Do it before they depreciate in value while in storage. Having a scheduled ITAD pickup can help to ensure you get your assets into the secondary market. 



Conclusion 


Maximizing the resale value of your IT assets is one of the best ways. You should choose a vendor that can help you shift from offloading your used IT assets into a new revenue stream. Start your search by looking for an IT asset recovery partner that considers the latest industry standard.
