Considerations For The IT Asset Disposition Process
Although many people think solely of the hardware when it comes to IT asset disposition, the fact is that there are many other considerations that you need to be aware of. Most of the assets that a company has on the IT books are things such as computers and other storage devices which contain valuable pieces of information related to the way you do business, your company financial reports and other potentially confidential reports and statements. Improper IT asset disposition can leave all of this information out there for the world to find.
One of the keys to your IT asset disposition process is making sure that any information that is on the storage devices has been backed up to your company systems. Once the data is preserved internally, you need to work with a data destruction service that can eliminate your confidential and proprietary data. By scrubbing hard drives and servers, you can make sure that the data is inaccessible, even if someone should acquire the hardware intact.
After clearing all of the data and ensuring that the drives are erased, you can then dispose of the equipment with an asset recycling and disposition company that will ensure that they are disposed of properly.
