Disposal
Improper
technology disposal has become a major problem for organizations in
recent years and has resulted in numerous state and federal fines. Additionally,
many companies do not employ internal processes for technology disposal
and for those that do, they are often not very cost effective.
EWA
partners with your organization to retire obsolete equipment guaranteeing
you the highest residual value. Moreover, we assist you in navigating
the Federal hazardous waste laws while protecting your sensitive data.
We
work with our clients to develop a technology retirement plan that will
extract the maximum value from obsolete equipment. In the plan business
rules are created to determine which equipment will be redeployed and
which will be remarketed, donated or disposed of. In the end we provide
your organization with the peace of mind that your technology is disposed
of legally, while still providing you with its maximum value.

as seat management). The LANDesk agent provides your organization with
real-time online data regarding the utilization of desktop technology

of the software use on a client’s device. EWA has the experience
and technical support to deploy and manage this type of asset tracking
