As I am sure you are aware, Microsoft will stop supporting Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. As this date approaches, many of our current customers are faced with upgrading their systems to Windows 11 to ensure security and compliance. For most organizations, this transition will require that they retire legacy equipment that cannot support the new Microsoft OS. This is where a solid IT Asset Disposition vendor fills a critical role.
A good ITAD partner can fill multiple roles during this process:
Data Security: Certified ITAD Vendors employ rigorous data sanitization techniques to ensure the sensitive data on your retired assets is properly destroyed and that you have done everything you can to mitigate the risks of data breach while also ensuring compliance with data privacy regulations.
Environmental Responsibility: By working with a Certified ITAD Vendor you can ensure that your equipment is being disposed of in an environmentally sustainable manner. Certified vendors follow strict recycling and disposal procedures.
Maximized Value Recovery: Experienced ITAD Vendors can help you increase your ROI by remarketing and reselling your retired assets. This service can help you offset the high cost of new equipment required by Windows 11. In most cases, we can offer estimates of your assets’ value to aid in the budgeting process. In addition, reuse/resale of older assets is the most environmentally friendly form of recycling.
Compliance and Indemnification: A Certified ITAD Vendor will help you stay compliant with the latest regulatory requirements governing the disposal of electronic waste. We stay up to date with those regulations, so you don’t have to. In addition, we can offer indemnification against data breaches or improper recycling so that you have the peace of mind you deserve.
As the deadline for Windows 10 EOL approaches, please feel free to contact us so that we can present a process that will be easy to execute and will ensure the easiest transition possible while also increasing your ROI on your retired assets.
