As companies race to keep their technological edge competitive, energy is focused on the front end of any product life cycle. By its very nature, acquisition is more interesting than disposition. But this influx of technology creates a corresponding and often overlooked increase in decommissioned IT assets. As a result, outdated PCs, monitors, and other IT equipment tend to quietly pile up in storage. For the most part, underused, decommissioned IT equipment remains out of sight and out of mind. But these rapidly depreciating, aged assets can pack a major financial punch. Aberdeen research concludes that any organization annually removing as few as 3,000 PCs can save $1 million per year in unnecessary storage and disposal costs by implementing an effective asset disposition program. Perhaps even more importantly, such programs carry the added benefit of reducing business risk.
