The IT asset refresh process is essential for businesses to ensure their technology is up-to-date and secure when collecting and disposing of retired equipment. By establishing reliable asset refresh processes, businesses can maximise their IT asset investment, guarantee data security, and support sustainability goals.

Your objectives

With a focus on creating operational efficiencies, you want to maximise the value and ROI of IT assets and reduce maintenance costs, all while ensuring data security with your devices. You also want to improve the reliability and performance of IT assets by ensuring hardware is always up to date. Lastly, sustainability is a business priority, and you need a sustainable process to reduce the environmental impact of your IT assets.
