Wisetek, an information technology (IT) asset disposal, data destruction, technology reuse and manufacturing services company headquartered in Ireland with U.S. locations in Maryland, Massachusetts, California, Texas and Virginia, says it has launched a new service, IT Asset Recovery Solutions, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The new remote logistics solution aims to assist companies whose employees are working remotely with secure IT asset recovery. It will enable companies to collect IT assets from employees who are working remotely for redeployment, recycling or secure disposal.
Wistek says many companies issued their employees new equipment for remote working during the pandemic, meaning a large quantity of IT equipment is no longer in use.
“As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies and their employees are now finding themselves working remotely,” Wisetek CEO Sean Sheehan says. “Despite this disruption to normal business practices, many organizations still have a need to be fulfilled in the area of IT asset collection, as well as disposal and data destruction. This new service from Wisetek will fulfill this need, limiting potential data breaches for companies and ensuring that IT equipment is redeployed in the circular economy.”
As part of this solution, the IT assets are collected within 24 hours from a prearranged location using social distancing. The devices are brought to a Wisetek facility, where they are reviewed, sanitized and cleaned, before being individually boxed and booked.
At customer request, devices are reviewed via a hardware audit and test audit to log any outstanding visual or functionality issues before they are put through a certified data erasure process.
Wisetek also will manage the repair process for any devices under warranty with the manufacturer and can assess the cost of repairs for any devices that are out of warranty. This process enables companies to redeploy individual devices as necessary and gives them an overview of any outstanding issues with the asset’s condition, the company says.
All devices will be stored safely and securely until further instructions are given by the client, according to Wisetek. Any devices that are not required for stock or redeployment can be recycled or remarketed by the company.
