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.

EWA asset management program provides for the complete administration and tracking of all aspects of your hardware throughout the complete life cycle of desktops, servers and printers.

One of the tools we can use is LANDesk to manage many clients’ technology equipment as part of our life cycle support service solution (also known as seat management). The LANDesk agent provides your organization with real-time online data regarding the utilization of desktop technology deployed in an enterprise environment. This data is particularly beneficial to you when assessing new software application deployments and assessing the hardware requirements of the new applications. This tool also provides improved technical support by permitting remote diagnostic and updates 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 utilization tool.
