IDC Issues Intechra G.R.A.D.E. Certification

After a thorough review of strategy, policies, operations and results, IDC issued five companies its first certification in Green Recycling and Asset Disposal for the Enterprise (G.R.A.D.E.).

Among the companies receiving certification was Intechra, the largest American full-serve information technology asset disposal (ITAD) company, headquartered in Jackson, Miss.

“Receiving IDC’s G.R.A.D.E. certification validates our strategy and the many investments we have made to build the best ITAD company possible,” Intechra CEO Chip Slack says. “This also reinforces to our clients that Intechra is the right choice for managing the lifecycle of their IT assets.”

The IDC G.R.A.D.E. certification process is based on 34 IT Asset Disposal (ITAD)-related functions and tasks and uses a multi-dimensional weighting system that incorporates the broad offerings of remote applications, onsite services, logistics, in-plant processing and post treatment. IDC G.R.A.D.E. certification is currently focused on the U.S. market. IDC has reviewed 25 providers to date.

“Our goal was to clear up confusion in the marketplace by creating an objective system for evaluating and certifying ITAD providers,” says David Daoud, IDC research manager. “Intechra stood out as a top-notch provider in all categories.”

Slack says several factors, in addition to Intechra’s national footprint and logistics services, contributed to its IDC certification. He pointed to Intechra’s status as a single integrated provider for all services (remanufacturing, remarketing and recycling), the company’s commitment to ISO quality certification at all facilities and the comprehensive reporting to clients about the final disposition of all materials.
