Iron Mountain has acquired ACT Group

Iron Mountain has completed its acquisition of ACT Group (ACT Logistics, ACT Networks, and Australian Computer Traders). ACT Logistics is a leading Australian provider of IT asset disposition (ITAD) and technology lifecycle services, with Australian Computer Traders and ACT Networks specialising in the remarketing of retired IT assets.

End-to-end IT asset lifecycle management

Asset lifecycle management is a strategic, intentional practice – whether it be managing end-user devices or data centre equipment. Logistics and storage requirements add complexity to securely managing your IT hardware throughout its lifecycle through end of life.

Iron Mountain Asset Lifecycle Management is a world leader in secure IT asset management and is trusted by more than 90% of the Fortune 1000 for over 70 years. We deliver secure, sustainable hardware asset management and IT asset disposition (ITAD) services on a global scale. Our end-to-end services, available in over 30 countries, include best-in-class logistics and chain-of-custody, data sanitisation, and certified decommissioning, with a focus on maximising value, reuse and minimising emissions and e-waste.

What we do

We are committed to helping our customers optimise their lifecycle and the value of their IT assets, both corporate end-user devices and data centre equipment.

Plan

During the planning phase, we align an Iron Mountain service plan with your asset lifecycle management strategy, including discussions around API integrations, reporting requirements, and more.

Configure & deploy

Upon purchase of your IT hardware, our inventory management, including asset receiving, tagging, tracking, and storage, ensures that your IT investment is well-managed and available for deployment when you need it.

Our configuration services, which include imaging and kitting of end-user devices, paired with our reliable logistics and managed deployment options ensure on-time and ready-to-use deliveries.

Maintain

With maintenance and upgrade services, including in-warranty returns, certified warranty bench repairs for OEMs such as HP, break/fix, upgrades, and on-site staffing solutions, we can keep your existing inventory of end-user devices in usable, working condition.

Reuse & retire

Starting with expert onsite decommissioning or streamlined collection of assets and certified data sanitisation, we offer our customers a secure path to reuse. Assets and components can be refurbished for redeployment or resale.

For assets with no recoverable value, physical destruction and e-waste recycling ensure secure and responsible disposal of end-of-life equipment, reintroducing valuable materials back into the supply chain.

According to Gartner^®,

“The three most important tasks to execute correctly, and to which ITAD executives should pay special attention, are transportation logistics/chain of custody, data sanitisation, and recycling. These three tasks represent the greatest risk in the ITAD process, and they should be handled by an experienced, well-vetted ITAD service provider.”

Iron Mountain is recognised as a Representative Provider in the Gartner Market Guide for IT Asset Disposition for the fifth time consecutively.
