Understanding IT Asset Remarketing in San Diego

Have you ever heard the term IT asset remarketing? If you haven’t, don’t worry. It’s a relatively new term and is one that many people don’t learn of until they have use for it. IT remarketing is the final phase of the lifecycle of your IT equipment. Let’s face it: every business owner, no matter what type of business you own, needs to have high quality IT equipment. This means that after a handful of years the IT that you have is going to need to be replaced. Buying new tech is fairly simple and an easy process, but getting rid of the old tech tends to be a bit trickier.

How IT Assets are Remarketed

It may feel like it’s complicated but IT asset remarketing in San Diego isn’t as bad as you’d think. There are actually only a few steps that you need to go through and, thankfully, most of the steps are ones that your IT asset remarketing partner like SES Recycling will be responsible for doing.

3. Once the items arrive at the processing center they are then inspected and audited. The company will look through the equipment to see what type of data they have to erase, any repairs that can be made and what is salvagable, and what isn’t, with the IT.
4. After the audit, they will try to find the best value for the remarketable assets that you have sent to them. They will likely then contact you to let you know exactly what you’re looking at in regards to IT equipment remarketing.
5. All data destruction happens at this point. IT remarketing companies will thoroughly destroy data that is on your hard drives using a variety of methods. Don’t hesitate to ask the company what method they use before you agree to work with them.
6. Any remarketable assets are harvested.
7. Anything that can’t be remarketed is dismantled and properly recycled.
