Reducing TCO (Total Cost of Ownership)
Recycling IT/electronic assets does more than help preserve the environment and protects against data loss; it actually contributes to lower TCO. In some cases, the reduction can be significant, ranging in the thousands of dollars over time. There are multiple ways this can be achieved:
- Reduced Liability: Significant cost avoidance with respect to legal fees can be achieved with proper asset disposition. See: Risks of Improper EOL Management
- Asset Resale: Recoups part of the original purchase value
- Reduction in Technology Infrastructure Cost: Incorporation of reusable infrastructure components, refurbished machines, and redeployed assets all contribute to overall infrastructure cost reduction
Liability Reduction: The cost for improperly disposed assets can range from the thousands to the millions of dollars, not including the loss of trust a market may experience with the brand. Hesstech provides total physical security, asset data security, downstream audits, and asset tracking. Hesstech indemnifies its clients from all disposal liabilities.
Asset Resale: Along the entire IT lifecycle, value optimization is maximized. So why not at disposition? The faster a working, good condition asset can be decommissioned and put into the resale channels, the greater the potential value recouped. Assets can provide a return of hundreds of dollars, and a stream of return value adding up to thousands of dollars annually. Hesstech has multiple channels for resale including a positive brand equity that attracts a wider audience and more selective buyer.
Reduction in Technology Infrastructure Cost:
- As much as two percent of corporate infrastructure typically consists of recycled or refurbished components (including routers, servers, other gear). Incorporating refurbished/recycled components can preserve well-functioning infrastructure and defer major upgrade costs. Refurbished technology comes with limited warranties and is up to 80 percent off list price. For small businesses, this can directly contribute to competitive advantage providing more backbone and transactional power at a fraction of the cost.
- Redeployment of assets within a corporation defers any capital expenditure purchases and preserves the overall integrity of the infrastructure.
Both mechanisms can actually lead to justification for purchasing new or emerging technologies where needed, because there is an added dimension of ROI. Hesstech can help facilitate secondary equipment purchase and asset redeployment.
